Day 1: The Story of My Life

I think I'm going to jump on this 'blog every day in May' train.  I can't guarantee that I will blog every single day, especially since I don't blog on weekends, but I will try.  Check out Story of My Life for more information about this challenge.

Day 1:  The story of my life in 250 words or less

June 1st is mah birfday and that’s only a month away!  The big 3-0!  I have been in PA all my life and have never lived more than 15 minutes from my parents.  I graduated from Penn State University after 7 ½ years of schooling with a BS in Business.   I have been a babysitter, lifeguard, retail manager, banker, admin and marketing analyst.  I met my husband when I was 12 and we were married 15 years later!  My husband owns his own landscaping business and works for a pond and patio installer.  I will be a SAHM come June and I can’t wait!  We have two pugs, a black lab and a cat named Joey.  We have one beautiful daughter who is the most amazing little person in this world.  Her brother will be making his debut in August or September. 

I’m blunt and crude at times but I’m also sentimental and thoughtful.  I love to sleep and don’t do well without it.  I’m a big hockey fan and will probably not be able to be your friend if you are a Penguins fan.  I like to cook and bake but I don’t like to clean up the mess afterwards.  I’ve never had a broken bone, serious illness or surgery and I’ve only ever stayed in the hospital when my daughter was born.  I like to travel but I hate planes and long car rides.  I am one giant contradiction.  Knowing me is quite fun!

    That is so cool that you met your hubby when you were 12! I met mine when I was 15. Totally didn't think I would end up marrying him, I tell you. This was so fun!

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
