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!

dear baby: Last entry

Dear baby,

This is the last entry before you are here - We are overjoyed.

I won't lie and say that we not completely freaking out, because we are. Your doctor says that we have to disturb your peaceful swimming in my belly and bring you out into the real world. This happens on Sunday.

9 months of dreaming about you - what you will be, what you will look like, and what kind of little person you will be - will be over and the reality of you will be here in our arms.

I truly hope that your dad and I can be the parents you deserve and (dare I say!) want. I hope that we are fun, cool, good role models, and cool! I hope that we set limits for you, provide you with consistency, and that we consequence you when you are in the wrong. I hope that we hug you, kiss you, talk to you, comfort you, and listen to you when you need it. I hope we don't let you down too often (because I'm sure we will let you down every now and again - but never on purpose). I hope we surround you with good people who will inspire you to be a great person. I hope that we play games with you, take you fun places, and broaden your worldview. I hope that we are the VERY best parents we can be for you - I know that we will most certainly try everything in our power to do ALL of these things and more......

Ellie, this is the last entry before you are here in the flesh - we are overjoyed!


Love you always
Mommy and daddy
