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!

Pop culture

I was doing my daily reading today, which consists of people.com, tmz.com, and various online british gossip magazines (they have the BEST stuff!). I had a lot to catch up on because I had not been "reading" while we'd been on out of town. It broke my heart to hear that Katie Price and Peter Andre are separating - if their love can't survive then how can any love survive???? I've faithfully followed their marriage since it happened.
First Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker and now Katie and Peter!

I caught up on the Jon and Kate + 8 saga - Who knew paparazzi were following them around in Pennsylvania??

Carrie Prejean.

Mariah and Nick Cannon are still married??

Brad and Jen might be reconciling (doubt it)?? whoa.....

I also learned that Bruce Jenner had more plastic surgery which is meant to repair the old plastic surgery that he had that rendered him virtually unrecognizable from the fresh faced boy winning the Olympic decathalon so many moons ago (sigh).


As I read up on these very important issues I also read the forums where people post their not-so-bright-or-articulate opinions.

I don't know why I read them. They always get me upset. Then Justin walks in only to find me yelling at the computer and the people in it....ummmm...on it. As I read the forums about Bruce Jenner it brought up Kim Kardashian's weight, and a place where she said she is a size 2. So ALL these people start calling her a liar, fat, a cow, a heifer, etc....ALL of these people who (1) have never met Kim Kardashian in person (2) have only seen her in pictures (3) likely are no where near a size 2 themselves
(4)and are likely no where near as attractive as Kim Kardashian are casting stones. So Justin walked in to hear me yelling, "Oh right like you all have room to talk," and "You only wish you could look like Kim Kardashian!"

Typical humans. Making fun of others because of our own "stuff" (aka: Jealousy, insecurities, struggles) in some attempt to make ourselves feel better. So to all you naysayers and forum commentors - Ye without sin cast the first stone!!! Hence why I never post on those boards. I am well aware that I'll never be as hot as Kim Kardashian, never know what it means to have 8 kids, live with the paparazzi breathing down my neck, be Miss USA, or win the Olympics. Therefore I'm in NO position to judge their lives. I've got plenty to clean up right here on the home front, and I've got nothing but time judging by the inordinate amount of time I spend engaging in "scholarly reading" online!!
