Happy 4th of July!


I will most likely not be blogging again until Tuesday so I thought I'd get this in now. What kinds of plans do you have for this holiday weekend?

Tonight will probably be our usual dinner at Applebees where we sit at the bar and converse with our favorite bar tender. We only sit at the bar out of habit and because she is pretty much the only person we like. Don't worry, it's just water for me. My husband, however, will have as many Long Island Ice Teas as I will allow him.

I will sleep in Saturday, as long as the dogs don't wake me up and then spend the day doing laundry and cleaning. Saturday night will be spent with friends, in or out of their pool, depending on the weather. We may even enjoy a bon fire.

Sunday is church and then dinner with some other friends.

Monday is my husband's annual family picnic. It's going to be HOT so the baby and I are not looking forward to spending the day outside in the heat, especially with elephant man ankles!

It's going to be a busy weekend and I am going to hate dragging myself back to work on Tuesday but guess what Tuesday is??!!! Our next check up! We will get to hear our baby's heartbeat again so I'm very excited for that! I will post an update after the appointment. And you know what else?! One month from today we will find out if this is a little boy monster or a little girl monster! I am SO excited!! I'm still trying to figure out the gender party :(

Enough about me....I hope that you all have a great holiday weekend. Remember to think about all of our servicemen and women as you celebrate our Independence Day!

I'd like to take this time to thank Drew Yetter for his service. I graduted from High School with Drew. We re-connected via Facebook, where I found he was fighting for our Country. He was recently wounded while in Afghanistan but he is ok and back to 'work'. Stay safe Drew and thank you for your service! That's my shout out. Who are you going to shout out to?

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
