Exciting Things Happening

I haven't really shared much about our house plans lately for many reasons.  It seemed like every time we made plans to moved and talked about those plans, they always fell through.  We had many different options in the house department and nothing seemed to be working out.

So when this option came about, we kept it to ourselves.  We didn't even share the information with family until we were somewhat sure of what was going to happen.  We were trying not to get our hopes up in case this fell through too.

No falling through this time.  We are moving!!! 

Currently, we live in a very small home that has maybe 1000 square feet of living space.  We only have two bedrooms so our little guy bunks with us.  We outgrew our house a long time ago and we are so excited to be moving.  We don't even have enough furniture to fill our new house be we don't care.  We are just so excited.

The house in only about 20 minutes from where we live now so it's still pretty close to my family which is exactly what I wanted.  I think the thing I'm most excited about is having a play room.  No more toys spilled all over the house because there will be one dedicated play room. 

I'm feeling a little sentimental about our current home because we've been here a long time and we've had a lot of good things happen here.  This is where all of our puppies came home to for the first time.  This is where our kids came home for the first time.  We've had a lot of friends in this house, a lot of parties and a lot of fun.  It's been an awesome house but it's time to move.

So here is our new house...


Oh and we move this weekend. 

It all kind of happened quickly.  We were waiting and waiting and waiting and them BAM!  Time to move.  It's ok because it's exactly what we need right now.  We'll be spending this Saturday painting and cleaning the house and then we move in.  Just like that.  More pictures and updates to come!

On a sad note, we might also finally be trading in the Beamer for a mini van.  Let me tell you how sad this makes me.  I love my Beamer.  LOVE.  It's the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven.  It just doesn't have enough space.  I mean, we have to take pieces of our double stroller off in order to fit it into the back.

So, we are going to look at a dreaded mini van.  I always said I would NEVER drive a mini van but this is what is has come to.  My husband wants a Honda Odyssey so that's what we are going to look at.  If all goes well, we'll be driving away with it.

So not cool.  But don't think it's all for nothing. 

This mini van?  Yea it ensures a third child.  Oh yea.  I told my husband the only way we could get a mini van was if we had a third kid.  He said if I wanted a third kid, we had to get a mini van.  Even trade.  No I'm not pregnant and I don't know when the next child will come but when he or she does, we will be prepared!

  1. I have just love watching your little family grow on here. And do not fear the minivan- we have a toyota sienna and it is the perfect family car. It did however take me a long time to accept that I was in my twenties and driving a mini but the conveniences are well worth the "cool factor" trade off. It has automatic doors and dvd player for the girls. Plus with three in carseats aside from a giant SUV we didn't have much choice. Best wishes on your move and hope your new home is filled with many more wonderful memories!

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?!
