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!

Summer Cruise 2011: Costa Maya

Costa Maya was our first stop....remember....nothingness....yeah.....true story.
Here is Ellie putting on her daily products (SunScreen, bug spray, etc...)
 We got off the ship and passed through security and were welcomed by three men dressed in army fatigues with machine guns (no lie) and a large dog (that was very well...endowed -- scarily so). We walked from the ship (afraid to misstep lest we get shot) to the shopping area where you go to meet your excursion group. We were doing the Beach Excursion -- which was just that...going to the beach. We boarded a bus and drove and drove and drove and after a few near death experiences we made it to the beach!

Ellie did not care for the hot sand

But she did like sitting and talking to dada....





 A fellow excursion-er volunteered to take our pic.....


Enjoying a very tasty quesadilla
 Along with some dancing...



Before we knew it we had to head back to the ship....we were able to squeeze in a little shopping before we boarded and were careful not to buy anything that would attract Cujo.
