Miller Mania by definition:

My blog's name I thought was very appropriote for my life. Here's the definition for "mania":
1. "excitement manifested by mental and physical hyperactivity, disorganization of behavior, and elevation of mood"
2. "excessive or unreasonable enthusiasm"
Sounds about right, huh?

To the Movies

Yesterday was a fun morning for Keeley & Lillie. They went to a movie for the first time! Carrie took Lincoln & I took my girls & Mom came along for the fun of it, & my niece Madison came too. The movie theater has dollar movies on Tuesdays & Wednesdays so Carrie & I thought we should try taking the kids to their first movie when it would only cost a dollar if we had to leave. We saw Alvin & The Chipmunks, which I enjoyed. Keeley was so excited before we left! She kept trying to go out to the car before it was time to go! Lillie, of course, fed off of Keeley's excitement. They were cute. We let the kids hold the money & give it to the ticket guy & then we went in. Keeley's reaction to walking in was "Wow! This is big!" & that was just in the front of the theater where you get drinks & popcorn!! We then got some popcorn & drinks (my mom got a HUGE thing of popcorn which she shared with me & Lillie - mostly Lillie). Then we were off to find seats. Keeley loved the seat because it went up & down. When the movie started the kids did really well. They ate their snacks, played with the seat (Keeley), danced to the music, & had a really good time. It was really a fun morning.

I Believe in Christ

As I reflect on all that I have been blessed with I am overwhelmed with gratitude & love for the Lord. I have been blessed with a wonderful family. Two girls who are full of love & life. A husband who works so hard to support our family, & still finds the energy to be a fantastic father. A comfortable home with all the necessities of life. I have been blessed to have been born in the USA where I have so many freedoms, including the freedom to worship as I choose. I have been blessed with goodly parents who love the Lord & have always been a steadfast example of faith & following Jesus Christ's example. I have been blessed to know that I am a child of God & can return to live with him someday if I but follow Christ's example & keep the covenants I have made with my Father in Heaven. I know that Jesus Christ came to the earth & was the perfect example of how we should live our lives in order to become more like our Heavenly Father. I know that God loves me, & all who walk the earth, so much that He allowed Christ to suffer for the sins of the world so that we can all repent (as often as is needed) & be cleansed of our sins. I know that Christ died on the cross & was resurrected so that all mankind may be resurrected as well.
I know that the Lord loves us so much that he restored the fullness of his gospel to the earth through a prophet named Joseph Smith. I know that the Lord has given us the Book of Mormon as another testament of Christ or another witness of Christ in addition to the Bible. I have read the Book of Mormon & have prayed to know of the truthfulness of it. I received this confirmation via the Holy Spirit. I know that it is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I know that the Lord wants to communicate with us & that He does so through a living prophet, Thomas S. Monson.
I know that our God is a loving God & that as our Heavenly Father he wants us to be eternally happy by allowing families to be together forever - not just here on the earth. Isn't that wonderful! He has made this possible through the sacred sealing ordinance. I have been blessed to have been sealed, married, to my eternal companion for time & all eternity, not just until death do us part. What a comfort this is to me! I can have my family with me forever if we obey the Lord's commandments & do His will! What could make heaven better than being with your family?I am so thankful for my knowledge of all of these things. I believe in Christ; I know that my redeemer lives; and I know that I am a child of God & that He loves me.
