-find true love or 10 million dollars?

Would you Rather...

I was told today that my blog is boring right now. Sorry about that. I thought about doing a big post on my birthday, but quickly decided that might be a little tacky! J

I will say that I did have a good birthday though! I was able to talk to all of my family and was able to spend some time with David’s family. Sunday birthdays are busy, but overall it was a good day. I’m very thankful to be hanging on to the 20’s – even if it is just by a thread!

I don’t have much in the way of actual posts, but I saw something on Pinterest that I thought might be cute. It is a “Would you Rather” Game. I know we’ve played several games here before, but it’s been a while. I’ve got three versions of this so that it isn’t forever long - the one that I actually saw on Pinterest, I split into two and then one that I made up myself. I’ll let you be the judge of which is better.

You know the drill – leave your answers in the comment field. If you don’t have it set up where it shows your name with your post, do me a favor and put it somewhere in your comment. Thanks!

Ok, here we go….

Would You Rather

-be blind or deaf?

-read minds or know the future?

-be able to only whisper or only shout?

-live in Antarctica or Death Valley (not Clemson’s Death Valley – the real one)?

-have 1 wish granted today or 3 wishes 10 years from now?

-always wear ear muffs or a nose plug?

-talk only in snorts or smell like an onion?

-live in the game Clue or Risk?

-fight a dragon or a giant octopus?

-wake up as your gender with the opposite gender’s face or be the opposite gender with your own face?

Summer Bucket List Wrap Up

As you know, I made a Summer Bucket List of things that I had hoped I would be able to do. I'm sad to report that I was unable to have a 100% completion. I was able to do 12 out of 18 which I think is about 65% (I'm not really good at math, so that may or may not be correct!) I don't guess that is too bad especially considering all the extra stuff that we did that wasn't on this list. Completed list or not, I'd say this was a pretty good summer. It was definitely more busy that relaxing, but that's ok. It can't all be fun and games, can it?!

Happy Birthday

September 11 (9/11)

This is probably one of the most famous dates in modern history.

For so many this date represents pain and hurt. It brings back thoughts of fear and confusion. On the other hand, it also brings up thoughts of pride and patriotism.

In the Miller family, this has been a special date for many, many years. This is the day that my dad was born - the last of 10 children born to my grandmother and grandfather.

After reading my mom's blog post about my dad, I decided to link it instead of writing my own. Hers is perfect. So, go here and read up about my dad and his work in Guatemala.

Happy Birthday, Dad! We love you!

Super Fun News!!!

If we can share on Facebook, that means I can finally share here…

I am SUPER EXCITED to report that that my sister, Miriam, and her husband, Mike, are going to have their very first baby!!! We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but you better believe I’ll let you know when I find out. 

I already have two nieces (Molly and Eve) from David’s sister and brother-in-law, but this will be the first niece or nephew on my side of the family! We are all VERY excited and can’t wait for March to get here!

 Mike doesn’t have a beard any more. (Thankfully!) This was his pre-Afghanistan look. I just don’t have any good updated pics of the two of them.

 This was how Mir told my brother, Stephen, about the baby. If you know anything about my brother, you know this was a perfect gift for him!! 

Love Him

Today is my hubby's birthday! 

He has officially crossed over the 30 hill and is working his way down it now. He still looks pretty good for an "old guy" though, doesn't he?! 

  
I am so glad we have gotten to spend the last 10 birthdays together, and I sure am hoping for much more that 10 together in the future!

What's Been Going on

Sorry for the recent blog hiatus. Things have been pretty busy lately, and I haven’t had a great chance to sit down and write / I haven’t taken the time to sit down and write. 

When I last left you, we had just gotten back from NC visiting Mike and Mir. That has only been a few weeks, but it seems like that was months ago since so much has happened in the mean time. Of course, my week days have been filled with work (sorry, no good BL stories right now!) and getting ready for all the adventures of the weekends. 

Since NC

• I have been to…
• A Beth Moore Conference in Charleston
• Edisto Island
• The Downtown Market in Greenville
• The Apple Festival in Hendersonville
• I have …
• Worked out at the gym (though not as much as I should)
• Paid my late fee at the library
• Made my very first batch of fig preserves
• Tried a new bakery in Travelers Rest (Upcountry Provisions)      
• Hosted David’s family for his birthday party
• I have spent time with…
• David
• LA, Brett, and GaGa (Brett’s mom)
• Anna - My College Roommate
• Crystal, Molly, and Eve
• Most of David’s family (grandparents, parents, sister and her fam)
• I have eaten…
• McConkey’s Pimento Cheese Burger (Edisto)
• Shrimp and Grits (Downtown Market)
• Apple Cider Slushie (Apple Festival)
• Taco Bar (David’s birthday party)
• Muscadines (my neighbors yard J)

And that's pretty much it in a nutshell. See, I have been busy!! Busy and having fun! 

The fun doesn't stop just yet...we are going to TN this weekend to spend some time with David's parents that will be camping in the Gatlinburg area for the next few weeks. Although summer is officially over now, I'm looking forward to knocking off another item on my Summer Bucket List!! Details to come later...
