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!

MIA

I have been missing in action for some time....Unfortunately there is isn't much to report. We've been busy as can be with work, school, and church. I have a new calling in Primary (sunday school), and yesterday was my first day. I have a group called the Valiant 10, which are the kiddos that are 9 going on 10. I enjoyed it - there were 5 youngsters and while I just observed for my first day I am ready and excited to go!!

At school we are finishing up our 12 hours shifts atop our class work, going to class and managing tests/homework. It's been tough, but we are almost at the end of the semester!! Woo hoo!!!!

At the end of the semester we are going to Orlando and do the whole Disneyworld, Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center, Parasailing, blah blah experience. We are super excited for this, and can't wait. It's been too long since I've seen THE Mouse!




So I've been exercising my little behind off in preparation. I have acquired a newfound love of exercising. I hate going to the gym (too many germs, sweat, and people). I had thoroughly exhausted my stash of Tae Bo videos...I'd done regular tae bo, tae bo with "Billy balls", Billy's boot camp and tae bo with billy bands. I went to Borders hoping for something more...Justin tells me "Why do you keep buying the new videos they are all the same moves."




I knew he was right, but I persisted. However, I have now moved on to Jillian Michaels. Her videos rock!! I have been doing them in rotating fashion and they leave me SORE the following day....I highly recommend them.

(This is pretty much what I look like now....)
