The Miller Family

.
Five wonderful years ago I married my best friend. It seems to me that there are a lot of people to whom I could give credit for bringing the two of us together, but I think the truth is there is only one, my heavenly father. You see he had a grand plan for our lives. I truely believe that Travis was made for me and I for him. As far as I can tell this is where our story begins. Way back in 1990 we were actually in the same youth group together. It was called Life force and it was lead by Robert Lee. He was so on fire for God and one of the best youth leaders I have had in my life. Travis and I don't really remember each other because I was in Jr. High and he was in High school. But he does remember a girl getting her nose broke at a youth event. Oh and that girl was me, we were playing ice broom hockey. So years later in 97 Sarah and I started going to MSJC where we befriended Lisa Miller. We had a ton of fun in our classes together and going to Coco's for breakfast. But then Lisa left us to go to Biola. We lost touch until 2001. Sarah had recieved an email from Lisa. She was getting married and wanted Sarah and I both to be in her wedding. We were delighted and honored. We were so nervous we didn't know any of Lisa's friends or family. Only heaven knew that this family would soon become my family. The first time we met was at Lisa's rehearsal. You see Lisa and her family were scheeming to get Travis and I together. So they paired us up to walk down the isle together.
So then it was wedding time. Travis was so funny,at the reception where ever I went he went to the opposite side of the whole place. So his wonderful Auntie from Hawaii, love you Aunt Carol, came up to me and wanted me to dance with her nephew. I politely told her no thank you, being shy myself. So my mom drug me to the dance floor and his aunt drug him. I was all set to do the chicken dance with my mom until she threw me across the floor literally to dance with him. So our first dance was the Chicken dance. Then we started dating from that night on. But Travis asked me to be his girl friend on february 24th on our way home from Vegas. The first time he put his arm around me was on the Gondala ride. You see Travis was still really shy and he wouldn't hold my hand or anything. So Greg asked Travis to show him how big the biggest fish he had ever caught was. He still would put his arm around me so as he was showing us how big the fish was I grabbed his arm and put it behind me. Silly man! So when you go under the bridges on the gondala ride your suppose to kiss. Well I had NEVER been kissed. I had never even had a boy friend. So the gondala driver said we had to, so I kissed him on the cheek..
So I had the time of my life in Vegas. We saw Blue Man Group, stayed at the Stratosphere, took a Gondala ride at the Venitian and I rode in my first taxi. We had walked the whole strip and none of us had the energy to walk back to New york New York(the hotel). And many more wonderful exciting things happened that year. His best friend got married, Sarah found out she was pregnant, that wasn't a good thing at the time, but every child is a miracle and we wouldn't change that, because then I wouldn't have my neice Ellyce. Then we came to one of my best birthdays ever. My first boyfriend (Travis) made it the best birthday I had ever had. He bought me diamonds, Roxy sunglasses and took me to Disneyland. And all my friends came too. It was a wonderful day.
And I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
We went to a wedding together.
We then went to Hawaii to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Bj and the rest of their family. That was the best trip we took together. We did everything.Climbed Diamond head.. Did everything you can on Oahu. Got to get in to Sea Life Park for free and play with the dolphins.
We watched his cousin Courtney hula. Went on a dinner cruise which was very romantic.

Had fun at the Farmers Fair.
Then he asked me to marry him. It was the was this beautiful place we found by chance. As we were going up to Idylwild the roads were covered in snow and we couldn't go any farther. So when we pulled over there was a walk way to this beautiful lookout. And that is where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. We also built a snow man. That was a first for Travis.
We went with April and her college friends to see the Nutcracker in San Diego.
Went on a missions trip to Mexico and we gave this little boy a bike. The wedding was fast approaching.Another one of the best days of my life and our lives together started June 21st,2003. And now as we approch June 21st 2008 it has been 5 wonderful years. We have welcomed neices, nephews, brother-in-laws, and a sister-in-law. The most important events to happen is when we welcomed the two greatest additions to our family. Evelyn born on Sept 19, 2004 and Katelyn Jan 2nd, 2007. Now our family is complete. In the five years we have been married we have moved 5 times. We have gotten 1 new car. Travis has had new job postion as network administrator in 2006. There have been a lot of changes in our lives in the past 5 years, but there is one thing that never changes and that is that we love each other. More and more, every day more than the last. The last five years may have been a roller coaster ride, but there isn't anything I would change. God has a perfect plan and will for our lives, and as long as we stay in His will there will be not only 5 more years to come, but many many more. I love you Travis Miller and I will love you until my dying day. And I look forward to sharing more memories, love, good times and bad times all the days of my life. All my love for ever!
