Our Adventure so far.........

I have never been too big on blogging but being that I have a family now it seems like a pretty cool thing. Plus I have some friends who I have been reading their blogs and it makes me want to have my own. So for better or worse, here we go...........

I met Ken in December of 2001 and after almost 2 years to the day we were married, Dec 7,2003.........We almost immediately bought our first house....and started our family with a blue heeler puppy ( Outlaw) and a mutt from the SPCA ( Rugar)......we own an acre of land so me being the dog lover that I am, decided to make our family much bigger..lol......I rescued a Shepard puppy and a border collie puppy......At this time I was working at Park Cities Obedience School in Dallas...Me with tons of dogs every day??? I was in heaven!!!!!!
The first year of marriage was going great.....we of course were madly in love and loving every minute of it........a little over 6 months down the road we had a great surprise We were pregnant!!!! ( that is a scary yet happy feeling).......We have learned in more ways then one that God has a plan whether you are expecting it or not...My Grandmother was dying at this same time and being able to tell my mom that she was going to be a grandmother when her mom was dying was the greatest thing. It sounds weird but it made it easier on the rest of the family. Plus it gave something for my Grandmother to hold on to and she was determined to see her great grandchild. SHE DID!!!!!!!!
On March 7,2005 we welcomed Andon John Miller into our lives........He of course was all boy from the day he was conceived..I had one crazy pregnancy.........almost 6 weeks of bed rest, 2 cm dilated at 28 weeks and pre-eclampsia........BUT that little man was OK the whole time and that is all I cared about. I was induced a month early .....I was induced at 1 pm and given an epidural sometime later.....IT DIDN'T WORK so I felt all of the contractions.......and finally started to push at 10 pm..2 hours later he was delivered by emergency c-section........1:15 am 5lbs 4 oz 17 inches long..........Now he is 3 years old and boy is he a handful!!!!!!
My husband has just transitioned to a full time tattoo artist.......his dream of 15 years.......and I am having to get use to it.......He is gone all of the time and I am not use to being at the house without him in the evenings.......I do have 5 wonderful big dogs and my newest little one, a 10 week old blue and white chihuahua, Gizmo.........so with Andon and all of them the house is NEVER quite!!!!
This is my life so far........the short version of course.......As this whole new adventure with being married to a tattoo artist gets going more I will post more.........
Till later
