Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! I have to give credit for the name of our new blog to my hubby who is beyond obsessed with his Miller High Life hat (like the beer), that he continues to wear despite everyone telling him it is about time for a proper burial. Anyways, this is our new blog where we plan to keep everyone updated on what's going on with the newlyweds (we're still newlyweds at 10 months right?). I plan to write about life in general, decorating our home, my experiences in law school, our attempts at cooking, any travels we take (including Germany in 6 weeks!) and last but certainly not least, I will throw in a dash of politics.

Today is my little sister's 16th birthday, so I feel I should throw a shout out to her and wish a "Sweet 16"! I cannot believe she is already 16. It seems like yesterday when I saw her for the first time with a full head of jet black hair and I questioned whether this new baby that I was certain would take away way too much time attention from me, could actually be related to my all light-haired family. I was told she was, so I have accepted her as such ever since...even though when I was originally told I was getting a sister, I was truly hoping for a pony. But I love her more than anything now and sincerely cherish how close we've become despite our seven year age gap. She means the world to me! I am just so happy that now she will be able to drive over to visit me or actually drive me places, as she has a lot of paying back to do from my years of carting her and her friends around. So, Happy Birthday Bear Bear Show! And yes, she has many, many nicknames, some quite odd, but they all suit her I can assure you!

I would also, like to send out a "Congratulations!" to my hubs who just got promoted and started in his new position this week in IT. I am so incredibly proud of him for accomplishing so much (he has already received two awards) in just six months at his new job. Way to go babe! Now we are just hoping for a raise in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Oh and....yesterday was hubby's parent's 30th Anniversary!!!! Happy Anniversary! They are going to the Hyatt Grand for the weekend and then taking the whole family (us included!) to Germany in May as their anniversary present (lucky us!). I have never even been to Europe so I am just a tad bit, or maybe more like a whole-lotta-bit excited!

We have so much coming up in our lives I thought 'what better way to keep our loved ones informed than through a blog' (and I'm giving into my computer addiction and trying something new). So here it is, ladies and gentlemen: The Miller High Life. Stay tuned...much excitement ahead.

In the meantime, here is a picture of our Boxer baby, Mabry (oftentimes called Mabry Baby), watching her daddy play softball (even though mommy did not get the best of pictures):
