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: Cozumel

Final stop - Cozumel! We were excited about this port but also a little nervous because of its party reputation. We first stopped off to eat at Senor Frogs - which was delicious however $80 for 3 quesadillas was a bit much! However Ellie did get a smashing Balloon hat from a creepy balloon clown lady....


Our excursion for this stop was to hop on a Catamaran, go snorkeling and then hit up a beach. We were initally told (when we booked the excursion) tha the catamaran would take us to the beach and then take those that wanted to go snorkeling out - however this was not the case. Poor Ellie had to stay cooped up on the boat until it was time for the beach. She was rather cooperative given that this excursion wasn't the best choice for her - fortunately it was all booze included excursion so the drunken people on the boat provided her with sufficient entertainment. We watched many of them do various dances - YMCA, the electric slide, the Cupid Shuffle, etc...

We snorkeled for about an hour and then spent about an 1 1/2 hours at the beach but most of the time was spent riding on the boat to get to our various destinations. This was somewhat frustrating however the scenery was so beautiful and the weather was nice.
