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!

LA Vacay

The day after the  big Christmas hoopla we headed out to Los Angeles and it was our plan to take the girl to Disneyland to see all the Christmas decorations and since she had a lot of fun for Halloween we thought it would be a great treat!

The girl was tuckered out from the Christmas festivities but she was a trooper on the road!!


We drove to Flagstaff and spent the night, and then headed out the rest of the way! We had checked the weather and knew that we had mostly days of sunshine ahead of us but we had not anticipated one tiny detail....that Disneyland would be so packed out that it would be sold out everyday by 9am!! The first day we headed out and were so disappointed, but apparently it happens every year here....so no more Disneyland for Christmas!!

We made the best of it and had fun finding NEW and EXCITING things to do!

We headed out to the zoo....


 Did a little shopping

 Found some new eateries...LOVE Ruby's!!
 The Rainforest Cafe...

 Then we headed back home.....and Ellie did a little reading!

 Here was the weather on our return trip, which resulted in a few extra days spent in Phoenix but we had a blast there!!

So while the trip didn't turn out as we had planned - we had a ton of fun just spending time together!! I guess we will have to plan another trip to Disneyland soon!!!
