About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Christmas time is here....

CHRISTMAS
is only 3 days away!!!!! Justin and I did all of our baking (we made sugar cookies, mint chocolate brownie bites, rice krispie treats, and snickerdoodles) this weekend and it all came about absolutely AMAZING!!! I will be posting pictures of the process later on today (I'm at work now soooo....). We made little gift boxes for all the peeps at work, wrapped all the presents for our fam, and took a big breather by watching House re-runs. I didn't want to post pics of the gifts because my wrapping hasn't been unveiled to the recipients and I always like for it to be a surprise....so those pics will come after the big day. Anyhoo.....Keep you eyes peeled for the pics to come....

MERRY CHRISTMAS
to all of you from us!!!!

In the buff.....

So I wouldn't consider myself a movie buff...but we've been watching quite a bit of movies lately. Perhaps it just seems that way because we'd been absent from going see movies at the theater in some time. However......we (as I posted earlier) went to see Twilight on its opening night and have been back to see it since. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten a few friends of ours addicted as well......go see this movie and read these books. It's good for you mind. Next we saw 4 Christmases - because I LOVE Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. They aren't absolutely convincing as a couple, but it worked. This movie is sooooo funny - a little raunchy in parts - but all in all a great holiday flick. Treat yourself to a movie -- pick one of these!!!!


Another Winner!!!

Justin and I finally put up the Christmas stuff -- we hung our stockings by the chimney with care and put up our Christmas tree....I just love seeing it lit at night -- I'm not sure if I like it more than last year's tree, but I'd say we have another winner!!

Thanksgiving --- A few days late!

This thanksgiving we had my mom and Justin's family over for the big day!! We got started around 130 with lunch and then spent the rest of the day playing various games on the Wii.... I was so eager to eat that I forgot to get pics of the food spread (I was quite impressed with myself If I do say so) but here are a few "action" shots from our 5 hours on the Wii...
