This may be the last blog of 2009.....hard to believe.
We spent Christmas in Florida this year. We flew out of Atlanta at 11:00am on Christmas Eve morning and got into Sarasota around 4pm (lotta travel in between). Jay's brother Chad and Chad's girlfriend Stephanie picked us up in Tampa and we went to Walmart to get some necessities and then to Chad's house to pick up his (ginormous) dog, Rudy. Then we went on to his parents' house where we all spent the night. We had our Christmas gift exchange and dinner that night.
On Christmas morning we went to Jay's grandparents' house for Christmas lunch and a white elephant gift exchange. We stayed there for the remainder of the day.
The next day, the guys all went fishing while we gals went to the beach. We walked for about an hour and had a good time just talking. That night we went to a Winter Wonderland at Lowry Zoo....turns out it was more for kids than adults but we still had a good time.
On Sunday we went back to his grandparents' for a brunch before some family had to leave for home. Jay and I went with Chad & Stephanie to two different beaches to look for shark teeth that afternoon - we found a small handful. It was amazing how different the beaches look - one of the beaches we went to was covered (literally COVERED) in seashells. It was like walking on glass, but we did find some good shells to bring back.
On Sunday night we went to a gathering at Jay's friend's house. A lot of his old Florida friends were there, like a hangout they used to do in high school and after. I have to say I didn't like it at all, but I'm glad Jay had a good time.
We left for home on Monday morning and finally walked in our door around 7pm. I am convinced there is NO place like home. :)

December 20, 2009
Wow, so lots has gone on since my last blog post. I always swear to myself I'm going to be better about posting and then I get super busy and.....well, I don't. Hopefully soon there will be more to blog about. We shall see. :)
A couple weeks ago we decided to give (gift/shove/beg to take/etc) Collin to my parents. A third Jack in this house was just wreaking havoc on our house physically. He tore up stuff and ruined the living room carpet and never seemed to understand the concept of housetraining, along with a million other things. It was just too much to handle. Baylee and Gavin did enjoy playing with him for the most part, but even they had their moments when they were just sick of him but couldn't get away from him. So my parents agreed to take him. Dad has loved Collin from the first day and they are a great match. He's been there for a couple weeks now and it seems to be going well. I miss him but it is definitely a much quieter household now.
We are leaving for Florida next Thursday morning and cant wait! We're flying out of Atlanta around 11am and will be coming back on Monday afternoon. We'll be spending five days with Jay's family. Even all of his out-of-state family from his dad's side will be coming to Sarasota so we can all be together.
It's so nice to have a break from the regular routine of work. I love my job but it's always nice to have a break. I'll be working in my kiddo's house from 9-1 next Mon, Tues, and Wed, and then again the week after when we get back. We go back to school on the 4th. I really love shadowing and I would love to be able to stay with this kiddo for a long time.
We do have more news to share.....something we've been talking about for a long time......it's baby time for the Miller household. :) Nothing official yet, but we hope to have an announcement soon, or within the next couple of months. You'll be among the first to know. :)
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Merry Christmas from the Miller clan!!
