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!

Sandy Dego: Day 1

We wanted to go on a BIG vacation before baby #2 came and had originally planned to head to the Atlantis Resort in Nassau Bahamas. We booked everything - plane, hotel, etc... and the day before we were supposed to head out decided that it was a bad idea. The plane rides were too long, Ellie hadn't been feeling well and the time difference was going to reek havoc with our return flight (we were going to have to get to the airport at about 3 am New Mexico time and then spend the whole day flying). Also a tropical storm of some sort was predicted to be heading that way --- we had purchased trip insurance but had cancelled so late that we had to eat about $600 of what we shelled out. Ouch (!) but totally the best decision.

We were able to reschedule the airfare and headed to sunny San Diego (or Sandy Dego as Ellie called it)! It was such a fun trip and Ellie just had a total blast!
