31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 7

Today we were supposed to go our first Fall festival of the season. We were going to pick some apples and pumpkins and eat some pumpkin funnel cake. I was really looking forward to that pumpkin funnel cake. But, they re-scheduled it because there was a chance of rain.

Boo.

It actually turned out to be a pretty nice day. So instead of enjoying a nice pumpkin funnel cake, we decided to go to Cracker Barrel. I needed to exchange the owl lamp I bought from them the last time I was there anyway.

So today I am grateful for

Cracker Barrel

Their food is almost always awesome and I am in love with all of the awesome things they sell in their store. I especially love their Christmas items, which I generally buy right after Christmas when they're 70% off!

We had a great lunch, topped off with a Pumpkin Custard and Gingersnap dessert. Nothing can ever take the place of a pumpkin funnel cake but the custard will hold me over until the next Fall festival which just happens to be next weekend. :)

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
