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!

Busy ..... not being busy

This week has been so busy --- so much homework and so little time. On Tuesday of Clinicals I was "sent" home after an embarassing bout of morning sickness. I was sick when I first woke up, and then pulled myself together, but the hospital smells and sounds were too much for this 'ol gal. I got super light headed, dizzy, hot, and then uhhh-ohhh-----the nausea was back. I ran to the restroom and (well..you know) until I had nothing left to give. I went back to the unit and my clinical instructor was like -- "I'm not your mother....but I think you should go home." She took me in the break room and gave me the "mother's treatment" of a cool rag on my neck, graham crackers and ice water (with a straw!!). She went and got Justin out of a patient's room and instructed him to take me home. I made it all the way home without incident until we pulled into the garage and the fun began all over again.

This misery led to me being completely non-productive yesterday - I slept most of the day -I did not do the homework I was supposed to have done. So now I'm behind.....as usual.



That night we had to meet with our Stake President for an interview, and I was just hoping that I didn't have an "episode" during that time. Then Justin was off to Aaron's House for an Elder's Quorum meeting leaving me to my own devices, and more procrastination........as usual.


So here I sit today - Wednesday at 8:11 pm - having accomplished no more than I had done yesterday at this same time.

I need a vacation!!!!!!!!
