Like we always do about this time

So first off, I've been busy folks. Even though maybe like three people ever freaking look at this. This year has really flown by. Christian is getting bigger and bigger each day and learning everything so fast. Kirk and I are happy and still very much in love. We are expecting little one number 2 in december! WooHoo! My 23rd birthday was last month and even Steph made a special trip from Virginia to come spend it with us. Also, Kirks youngest brother Chris got married to his longtime girlfriend Roxy last month too! Their wedding was beautiful and Kirk and I had both had the honor of being in the wedding party. It was stressful and hectic but a very memorable experience.

I really should start keeping a notepad around because I had a ton more to write about. Now I'm sitting here racking my brain for some quality material. Maybe I'll invest in some post its, it might make this blog more entertaining to read. Keep it real loyal readers (all three of you).

Does anyone do pro bono dental work?

My teeth are in bad shape and my insurance will not cover even a quarter of the expense. So if anyone knows a dentist around these parts willing to sacrifice some hours filling my teeth I would be eternally grateful.

I could have used a new blender....

So for our wedding Kirks parents gave us these financial planning classes to go to. Sounds good in theory right? Wrong. What Kirk's parents neglected to tell us was that these classes are based upon 'The Christian way of Life", like about how " a good christian is supposed to tithe a certain amount of money to the church, etc etc...". Kirk's dad even sold my mom on this shit and told her that Kirks sister and her husband took it and now they save so much money every year. Basically this whole class is common sense. Set a budget. Dont spend more than you make. Have 'Emergency Funding' in the bank at all times. The same shit your parents told you when you moved out. I feel fucking bamboozled. Its like they're trying to brainwash me. Fortunately, I'm not easily persuaded by anything and I'm way too fucking intelligent to follow them down their happy path of righteousness. Jeebus.

In other news, the kid is getting teeth and still wont sleep through the night and I'm selling a size 4 wedding gown, an ipod nano, two COACH bags and a coffee table if anyone is interested. Peace and Bacon grease.

Picture Post!

I really love it...

When every plan I made about my wedding day is completely disregarded. I absolutely despise that Kirk's family is this little wierd Mormon unit. That is the only thing I despise about his family though because they are ridiculously nice and it is next to impossible to hate them. Absolutely NOTHING can be an intimate affair when it comes to his family. It almost makes me ill. I like things low-key, I like to consume booze on special occasions such as weddings, barbeques, funerals and other fun activities like that. I am marrying a 34 year old man who still hides our beer when his family comes to vist. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I dont know how to deal with this, at first it didnt bother me that his family belongs to a religious cult but, now it starting to dawn on me that his family is always going to be in the middle of our shit all the time. I absolutely will not tolerate this as I am a very private person and do not like my problems broadcast to an entire army. I have a feeling there are going to be problems already. I dont know what to do. I can feel my feet starting to get cold.

That poor little dog.

This is his green puppy. Apparently it is delicious.

Since I last posted....

• I weathered nine months of pregnancy sucessfully. I gave birth to my son Christian Lawrence Miller on October 12th, 2007. He is beautiful, wonderful and amazing.
• Became happily engaged to Kirk. We are getting married on Feb. 2nd, 2008. I will post pictures
• Survived the holidays in both Oregon and Washington with only minor mental breakdowns.
• Had a lovely Christmas with my new family.
• Recovered from a C-section.
• Made nearly homemade brith announcements.
• Started new relationships with long lost family members.

All in all, its been a crazy four months. I wouldnt trade it for anything though. I feel very blessed to have so much support all around me. I couldnt have done any of this without my friends and family.
