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!

Wildlife West Nature Park & Rescue Wildlife Zoo

We found out that there is a Nature Park in Edgewood AND that they have performances on the weekends! The Park is home to many animals that are native to New Mexico and  it is comprised of animals that have been rescued.

This was definitely up our alley and we decided to pack every one up and head on out.

We were a bit nervous because on our way there the sky began turn a bit blue and it looked like rain was on the horizon. Ellie was so excited to go that we decided to take our chances and fit in as much as we could before the rain hit.

Trying to figure out what Ellie is doing




 Just when we got our food - the rain hit! Fortunately we were able to find a place to sit under this porch area AND we could still hear the great folk music!


Walking back to the car.....

What a great day!

This was a gem of a find and we really enjoyed our day here. It is definitely a place we would head to again - good food, interesting sights and good music.

Now we are tired!
