I'm sorry for being so uninformative the past couple weeks. Its been a busy couple weeks, but not cause we've been partying it up or anything - its just been a lot of stuff at home. For those who don't know, I'm starting up a business, flipping furniture, and this starting phase has been a lot of selling our current pieces of furniture on Craigslist - for a profit of course because us Millers only get the best deals when we buy furniture, but it makes for a crazy house.:) And I've been thrifting like insane woman, and am on Craigslist 24/7 trying to find awesome deals. And boy have I ever! Its gotten me into the decorating mood too. Doing little things to the house that I've been putting off. Like this little project. I've been wanting to put some photos, or some sort of personal touch in the kitchen. I like picture frames in the kitchen, its a little bit unexpected - unless the pic is plastered on the frig with a magnet (and we have plenty of those, which I love) but I just needed a little bit more "us". I found this set of small picture frames in the dollar aisle at Target - but they were $2.50. Apparently the $1 aisle isn't limited to $1 items.:) I picked out three colorful photos from our shoot with Rebekah and voile - it was just perfect!

So much better. A little bit of us in the kitchen.:)

Would you like to see my glasses collection? Probably not, but here you go anyway. Apparently I have a fetish with glass.

The regular, but nice drinking glass:

The bigger, not as glamorous drinking glass:

The white wine glass - I am only starting to drink red wine:
The fancy ice tea or water glass:
The champagne flute:
The cocktail/juice glass:
The small juice glass:

Stemless wine glass - probably my favorite of all:

Yep... its a bit much. We're all entitled to our obsessions though right?




Please don't judge me.:)

This is seriously the best marinara sauce I've ever had. And its SO stinkin' simple. Its light, fresh and you get to just enjoy the taste of tomatoes!

1 28oz can of whole tomatoes (San Marzano if possible)
5 Tablespoons of butter - its why its so amazing!!
1 med onion, peeled and halved

Stick all the ingredients in a sauce pan and let simmer for 45 mins or so. Take the onion out and serve hot over angel hair or any pasta of your preference. You won't be disappointed!

I love these girls. They bring so much joy to my heart.:) We had such a fun night eating homemade pizza and oreo balls, yum! I've been leading these girls for over a year now, and its crazy its only been that long. I feel like I've known them so much longer.
Lauren and I made the pizza. And Courtney made the oreo balls.
Lauren wanted them.:)
Beautiful ladies.
Thats gross. And really funny. And very Laura. Only she would let Ellen do that. I won't.

Trying to get the camera ready and I caught this beautiful scene. Love Kaci and Carol.
We look normal, happy and quite cute. Cause we are.
NOT! We're crazy, slightly dysfunctional and we LOVE to have FUN!:)

When I woke this morning, I went out to the kitchen and saw this on the table.

We are refinancing our home... so naturally Eric was pouring over the documents because he loves this kind of stuff. All the money we're gonna save and all.:)

I just couldn't resist though. The reading glasses are CLASSIC. Don't you love Air Force issued reading glasses??? They make me so happy hahaha!

Ohhhhh yeeeaaaah. Thats some hot stuff right there.

Sorry babe.... just couldn't resist.

We had a Pink Party lastnight! Everyone was instructed to wear pink and bring a dip of some sort to share. It was really fun! I got Eric and I pink shirts at the Goodwill on Friday since we were both lacking anything in that color in our closets. I made red velvet cake balls, guacamole, and 7-layer dip. We had crab dip, fruit dip, chili dip, and mozzarella and cheese sticks. It was all so yummy!

Andre won the best dressed award. Sweet looking suit.
Dick and Ann. Ann is my mentor and her and her husband have come alongside our Biblestudy to help lead/encourage/give wisdom. They are WONDERFUL.
We tried for a really long time to take a picture as a group. Right as the camera went off, someone popped a balloon. Callie freaked out.:)
Finally made it.
Kiss your valentine!!! Yet what you don't see in this picture was the fact that Eric as he went to put his arm around me, I leaned in to kiss him and he nailed me in the mouth with his elbow. So he was kissing me very gently at that point haha.:)

My valentine, planned a wonderful surprise for me lastnight. He told me we had plans and that I had to get dressed up and look nice. So, thats what I did. We left the house at 6pm and headed toward downtown OKC. But we drove right past the exit for the city and kept heading north. I was super intrigued at that point and had no idea where we were going. We ended up in the Arts District, at Paseo Grill. It was the cutest little building and looked really fancy. We went it and waited for our table. And thats when I saw Callie and Kyle! I was so excited we had bumped into one another and how random we picked the same restaurant on the same night!! And soon after saying hi, Callie and I realized that the boys had planned it all along.:) It was so fun!! We had such a wonderful evening eating delicious food, talking and laughing about the song that literally played for 45 minutes STRAIGHT. It was still playing when we left and there were 5 words to the ENTIRE song. "Put yourself in my place." I'm not kidding. The techno guy sang those five words over and over and over and over and over and over... you get the point. It was SO FUNNY!

We then went bowling in our dress clothes. I'm sad I don't have pictures of that because Eric with his nice button down shirt and khakis with bowling shoes was very cute.:)
There were spectaculs at each table to help you read. We couldn't help but play around with them.
Callie and Kyle had to take a picture of them and the number 20 for a scrapbook that was being put together for Callies dad and step mom who were celebrating their 20th anniversary.
