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!

Chronicles of the Bump: The name game

The number one question we were asked (up until last Thursday) was "What is it?" I guess referring to whether we are having a boy or a girl. Now that earth shattering question has been answered - we were relieved as we thought we were done answering questions by friends, family and strangers alike. We were wrong! Now THAT question has been replaced with, "What are you going to name her?"

We have tossed around all sorts of ideas - old names, bible names, cool names, off the wall names and so far we have NOT - I repeat NOT decided on a name. The sad thing is that we've told people names we've selected in an attempt to appease their inquisitiveness (?) and people seem satistified as long as you provide them with an answer. No one cares what the name is - just as long as you tell them something. Of course no one critiques the name you provide (at least not to your face) but always say, "Oh I LOVE that name!" We will likely not fully select a name until we see her.......we will let her personality dictate her "REAL" name!



Here is the "bump" rocking a Texas Football shirt -- we are now at 20 weeks so 20 more to go (give or take a few)........
