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

I think with any new change comes question - question about how this will really change things. Deciding to have you was never even a second thought - we knew we wanted you before we even had your sister and now that we know you are on the way our excitement cannot be contained. Of course, we wonder how things will change with 2 kids. One of my professors told me that having 2 children will be "exponentially harder" and while it frightened me a bit it also made me excited for the challenges we will face together.

I have gotten use to the days of sleeping through the night, not changing diapers, having a child that is pretty independent and all the perks that come with that independence. Now you will be here and you will need help with everything and it will, essentially, be starting all over again.

.....but this is a journey I look forward to doing together -- as a family of four!


Love,
Mama, Dada, & Ellie
