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!

Showers of Blessings!!!

Nov 15: After our SUPER busy weekend we headed to Fort Sumner for a Baby Shower that Justin's mom's best friend, Joan, was the SUPER hostesses for. She recruited 14 other great women from our hometown and threw us a wonderful shower!! It was truly a blessing to see all of the hard work, blood, sweat and tears that went into organizing this project. We want to thank EVERYONE who had a hand in it -from those who organized, came, gave a gift, and even those who simply thought of us on this day - we thank you!!!

We headed to Fort Sumner in time to stop and eat at the Clines Corner Cafe, which we discovered a few weeks back has some great food! Then we headed the rest of the way for the shower.....

Here is a shot of some of the delicious treats!!

The BEAUTIFUL cake!!
Here we are before cutting into the cake - Notice the 6 month pregnant "glow"

Here is a glimpse into some of the gifts:

Super cute!!

Little baby bootie's filled with Cry baby candies!

We got a ton of gifts and drove back with the Explorer packed to the max!!! We headed home and the Tornows had left with the exception of Mike who stayed with us because he had a meeting the following morning. So when we arrived we put him to work unloading all of our goodies. I did manage to get it all organized and in the baby's room (that's about all I worked on for a few days!).

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!
