31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 21

Today was the day. We had been preparing for the local Apple Harvest Festival for a while now. If you read my blog at all, you know I have been looking forward to the pumpkin funnel cake this festival promised to supply. So we packed the baby up, grabbed some friends and headed to the festival.

In all honesty, it was a total disappointment. They had an 'apple bar' which we didn't even really care enough about to look at. They had a table with assorted apple and pumpkin items on it that you could buy. They had a pumpkin painting table and some hayrides. And then they had two food trucks.

Maybe I just hyped it up more than I needed to but it was a bit disappointing. I mean the website did say 4th Annual Apple Harvest Festival. That sounds pretty amazing doesn't it? But since I raved about it for like the past month,

Today I am grateful for

Pumpkin Funnel Cake

Because even though it kindof sucked, it was nice to get out with some good friends and spend the afternoon picking pumpkins and hanging out.

We also went to Cracker Barrel for lunch so total score there.
And we got some adorable pictures!

This is a billboard we saw near Cracker Barrel, which just happens to be across the street from Cabela's. Pretty clever.

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

A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers! I am so grateful to have more followers. I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog. Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read. I am really enjoying reading them all every day!! In case you don't believe me.......................... I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me. It means the world to me to have people interested in my life. The second change is that I added a new page. It's my Summer Bucket List . I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page. Now I can actually cross things off as I do them. I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer! I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then. And if I don't get them all crosse

We are the Millers
