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!

Christmas Eve 2012

We had such a blast decorating for Christmas and discovered a million and one decorations we purchased last year on clearance (at the after Christmas sale) that went unused - maybe next year!



 I made these little penguin decorations with my bare hands!



Christmas Eve kicked off the festivities with some yummy homemade snack foods, fun and presents!














 New purse!

Then the fun spread into Christmas Day!!!

We just LOVE this girl!

Too fun!



Ellie had a blast on both days and was truly blessed to get all kinds of super cool stuff. She enjoyed getting to spend a little time with most of Justin's family and my mom.

My hope for Ellie is that she realizes all the many blessings she has and all the love that surrounds her. Also that she always remembers the meaning of this season.
