Yeah tonight we had fun with the Shaeffers!

Dennis & I have two dear friends who unfortunately we don't get to see near enough, Michelle and Dean. OK, OK I know I work with Michelle, but I rarely get to see her at work, and when I do it is for minutes usually talking work stuff. The Shaeffers have a great blog spot called "Fun with the Shaeffers". I often read the fun things they are doing and Suggested to Michelle that it was time for the Millers to have some fun with the Shaeffers. So what could be more fun then to go out and eat! We ate at Applebee's. I followed my diet and choose a Sandwich off their Weight Watchers section of the menu. Although I have to admit the steak and mashed potatoes that Dennis had looked very, very Good!
We then came back to our house and watched a DVD that they brought with them. It was called "Big Fish" I really liked it. We heard a few snores from Dennis but that was understandable since he had gotten up at 5 AM to help cook for a men's breakfast at church. Then when that movie got over, we saw that the movie RV was on TV so we watched the end of it too. We had a great time tonight. We need to do this more often.
And that is what inspires me to SMILE!

Yeah It's Snowing







Today I sat at work watching the snow come down. Around 11 I was releaved to see that the roads were only wet. Driving home at 4:30 I felt like I was crawling along with everyone being careful. I finally arrived home and took Tucker out for his first measurable snow rump. And boy was he loving it! He was running around like a Nut! At least someone in our house likes snow because I'm not a big fan myself!
And that is what inspires me to smile!

Sister's in Christ

Speakers at Sisters in Christ

This was my second year attending the Sisters in Christ meeting. I was so excited that my mom attended with me, along with about 30 other women from our church. It was a great evening singing with the worship band and listening to God speak through Women from the southern end of Lancaster that formed the Sisters in Christ meeting about 7 years ago. There are a few things that I learnt there this year. #1 YIELD = Your Inner Ego Laid Down Wow what a great Acrostic. #2 We need to start our day with time in God's word. Before we get sidetracked with the chores that await us. And #3 We need to faithfully pray for each other. By this I mean A deeper prayer time then what I have been doing. If we practice these things We can be a light in Lancaster County for God.

And that is what inspires me to smile!

A Piece of Miller Family History


Den's mom at the approximate age of 17

Betty Miller (current)

While attending a funeral, on my husband's side of the family, this week His aunt shared some pictures she had found. These pictures were mostly of other relatives of Dennis' that have previously passed away. But there on the bottom of the pile was this gorgeous picture of Dennis' mother. The look on her face when she saw this photo again was something I will always remember. You could tell it took her right back to the day it was taken. She enjoyed showing it to people, hearing their comments about what a great picture it was. I enjoyed seeing her face light up. She is a dear women who has raised 7 children and lives everyday to be a witness to others of God's great love. We as children don't always get to see a glimpse back into our parents youth. We always hear stories, but when you find a wonderful picture it brings the stories to life.

Betty Miller today you are what inspires me to smile!
