We have GREAT News!

Let me just start off by saying, no I'm NOT pregnant, sadly. But I had to clarify because since I am married, that is what most people think because you are married, one day! Probably after my husband joins up and serves our country which I fully support him in doing.

The great news is that we both have jobs! Now we both start next week. He starts Monday night at 11 pm and I start on Wednesday at 5 pm for orientation and learning the skills. Our places of employment are about 1 hour from each other. That is a hassle and we will get through it. I can't wait to start and pay a lot of our bills.

When we get situated in our jobs we will be taking some time off because of the fact that we have to travel to Washington State to do some things before he can go into the military. As it is a personal nature I have to keep it to myself. If I do get pregnant in the coming months, it will be okay with us.

We are married and we are willing to take as many children as the Lord sees fit in our family. But for now we will be just a married couple. When we do have children they will brought up in a military home where they will be forced to move around a lot. I have chosen that life, as has my husband. We will be living on a military base and I will probably be doing some things that I can do to work from home or go to college.

My in-laws have told us that we should really get some money saved up for children, but the truth is, you can't save up for children, even though you would like to. Each child is different. They could come into the world with one leg, or one arm, or in rare cases, I've only heard of one little baby having this condition, is to have no nose. Nobody can prepare for children. You can try to save up money but that is also other things, like a rainy day.

I love my husband, when we are in a tough situation he makes sure that I can no have to worry or stress. He tells me that soon we will have a little one on the way and that I need to prepare my body for that.

He treats me like the Princess I am!

I am so happy to have a husband that is so willing to be the stone to keep the rivers of my tears from tearing me down. Whenever I need him, he is there, no matter how, via FaceTime, Skype, texting, or he is a phone call away. I am also so blessed to have my in-laws down the road (30+ miles away) and I can call my mother-in-law and get any help I need. She comforts me when I am sad, and depressed.

I love being a Miller! I cannot wait to help the line continue on and not die with my husband!

How it felt being childless on Mother's Day

I have been married for eight months now. I love being married but people always tell me that I am too young, that I am not ready to have a baby, and that we should enjoy being a couple because life will "end" when you become a parent. I have friends that can tell you that having children is not the end of the world, it is the beginning.

I have to agree with a fellow blogger on one thing, that teen pregnancy is an epidemic right now and that teenage motherhood, especially when the father's don't want to hang around, is a challenge. I have seen challenges faced by teen moms, and while I am never going to say that they are bad mothers, which I know a few are very amazing mothers, they will tell you that being a teen mom is not what it is cracked up to be.

My husband is a very hard-working person. He provides for us and we are saving what we can to make sure we can provide a baby with what he/she needs. I am preparing myself to be a good mother.

In my blessing, something my church does for every member, it says that I will bear CHILDREN. And that I need to learn the things that you need to know when you plan on a baby. We are waiting for God to tell us, "Hey it's time to get pregnant and have baby Miller". And I can't wait for that day! But until then, I will continue learning and growing. I will continue trying to keep a house clean, and unpacking it. But I love being married and I can't wait to have baby Miller, but until I do, if you can see me my darling soon to be child, "I love you and I can't wait to feel you kicking! Please come to us soon and make us parents!"

Moving: How it stresses me out.

I did not know how much moving would actually stress me out. I am super glad to have our first place together, even though we had an apartment before but that was "my apartment" because we were not married and he had a dorm room. I love our little place and once it is ready I will post a blog about the place. It will be a few weeks probably.

Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by a big piles of just junk that I have to sort through and then I think that I won't ever get it done. Well I will get it done and then I will not slow down after that. I cannot wait to have a clean house and not have any junk. 

I will be cleaning and putting a bag aside for give away. When that is done I will start on the dishes that I have been putting off a little bit, and then I will do the thing I wish that I could have done a long time ago, and I will start reading my scriptures and telling my husband that he should too. We should not let our heads hit the pillow and our eyes close until we have read at least a verse or two of scripture.

I love my life, and I love being young and in love. I can't wait to have insurance again and then go to my new ob-gyn and get the answers I need about continuing birth control. Blogging again probably this next week!

EIGHT MONTHS

Wow it's been eight months of marriage! I can't believe it! It has gone by so fast. 
I can't believe that in four months it will be a year. Well what has been happening is that we have taken a trip to St. Louis and have been to the zoo. It was so awesome! Pictures below: 










See the lion is looking at me haha. But it was so cool! We have recently gotten fitbits and they have changed our lives! I have lost 7 pounds in about a month. It is so great. I have been on birth control for the past 2 and a half months. I am going to be on it until September 3, 2015 so we can start trying for a baby again. I love how much this marriage has changed me! I bought a book recently that will help us as well as a book that our friends bought us in the beginning of our marriage. And then there is The Contract book that we bought awhile ago from the BX. They are all good books.






I love reading these books and doing activities with my husband. The first book was a gift from me, to me so that I could have something for our 8 month anniversary. I can't believe it has been 8 months already but I can't wait for a year! I can't wait to have "Baby Miller 1" and trying to have a relationship with my husband as well as us raising out little one together.

Until next week, have fun and I am going to learn how to drive again today below is 
my permit. I can't wait to have a license.

See I get to learn how to drive! I hope to soon have my drivers license!
