Baby Update

Here are some little updates about our baby and I:

I am now at 15 weeks and am starting to get a little baby bump

My energy is coming back...little by little

It is growing on schedule :)

It has a very good and strong heart beat

Hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll be able to find out if baby is a boy or a girl!!!

Best Decision I Ever Made

Almost 5 years ago, I made the best decision of my life. I married the extremely attractive man in the picture below.

To this day, I have a hard time comprehending how I ended up so lucky. He treats me like a Queen and I couldn't ask for more. Since we have found out that I am pregnant, his generous nature has increased (he was so generous to begin with that it was hard to imagine that he could treat me better than the best)! On the days where I have been extremely tired (and lazy) he has cheerfully picked up my slack by making dinner, cleaning the house, walking Gir, and generally taking good care of me. I am so grateful to have such a caring and wonderful husband. He is truly my best friend and he is going to be an amazing father. I am very blessed and I am so happy that I found and married my true Knight in shinning armor! I love you Chris!!!!

Wonderful Visit

This past weekend we had a wonderful visit from Chris' mother Kathy. She came into town after driving her youngest daughter to BYU-Idaho for the winter semester. It's too bad that we had absolutely awful weather! We weren't really able to do anything outside, but we had fun anyway. We ate at some of our favorite haunts including a lunch with my parents. We also chatted, enjoyed family history, and playing/watching others play games on the Wii. I was impressed with Gir because he is usually skittish around people that he has never met or does not see very frequently, but he had no problems with Kathy. He was a little hesitant towards her, but he ended up playing with her, cuddling, and sitting on her lap in the car. Overall, it was a great visit!

Disney World

For Christmas, Chris and I took a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fl. We were excited to get away from the snow for a while (even thought we couldn't escape the cold), and go to the sunshine state (at least one of them). We had a blast!! We ate amazing food (a lot of fancy cheese for Vanessa and steak for Chris), we went on awesome rides, bought a lot of stuff, and just had fun with each other. On Christmas, we decided to visit the Animal Kingdom in hopes of avoiding the huge crowds that would be descending on the Magic Kingdom and we definitely lucked out. For the whole trip, the longest that we waited to get on a ride was 40 minutes. I think that the definite highlight of our trip though, was when we saw Cirque Du Soleil. It was amazing!! We were so impressed by all of the acrobats and the incredible talent that they have. Our second favorite memory was in Germany in Epcot where we had a Christmas ornament made for us by a German glass craftsman. It was really neat to watch him work with glass as if it was water. I love it. We were sad to leave the parks, but happy to be home with Gir and happy to sleep in our own beds.

Exciting Announcement

Chris and I are proud to announce that we are the excited parents-to-be of little Miller baby due next July!! It is currently 11 weeks old and is so far doing really well.

Merry Christmas

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!"

We hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas wherever you may be! This year we are doing something a little different...We are going to be in Disney World for Christmas and we can't wait!!! We are going to miss being with our family and friends though.

May your Christmas be filled with love, laughter, and joy as you celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We'll see ya (and post) when we get back!!

Kris Kringle Day

Happy Kris Kringle Day! I have been celebrating this wonderful holiday (?) (excuse for presents) since I can remember and Chris and I have been celebrating it together since we've been married. Since last month we got our Blu Ray player, it was no surprise when Kris Kringle brought each of us a new Blue Ray. I got Gladiator and Chris got Star Trek. That Kris Kringle sure knows us well...

For those of you who may not know what Kris Kringle Day is, it is a German holiday celebrated the night of the 5th of December and the morning of the 6th. On the 5th of December, family members put their shoes out into the hall or other open area and while everyone is asleep, Kris Kringle comes and brings small gifts (if you are good) or coal and sticks (if you are bad) in your shoes. On the morning of the 6th, the family runs to see what they received and there is much rejoicing. I have loved this holiday since I was a child and I can't wait to continue it with my family.

Happy Kris Kringle Day!
