Two years into the marriage we decided to start a family...Our first child was Scott Kenneth Miller born July 6Th, 1970. A wonderful sweet boy ! Who today in 2009 is a wonderful father,husband and son...A very intelligent young man who I am very proud of...He has a spirit that is always creating wonderful moments for his family ! Then in 1973 Jennifer Ann Miller was born in May, it was a difficult pregnancy and it would be my last child. She was a tiny beautiful little girl, I had a Boy and a girl and felt truly blessed. We had our family ! As parents we did spoil them we took them everywhere we went, fancy dinner's out, camping, fishing, snow skiing, water skiing, boating, we spent a lot of time in the San Juan Islands, in the state of Washington..We were always on the go with the boat and the kids ! It was truly wonderful, as I grew up in Utah and had never really been around water or boats. My children grew up loving the water, the boats , camping you name it they loved it, and as a result of doing all those things together as a family, to this day they love the water, boats, outdoors, camp fires and we own a cabin on Priest Lake together and enjoy our time together there often...Now the Grandchildren are growing up the same way loving family, and all the great outdoors can bring ! It's truly a wonderful thing when your kids are grown and still want to spend their vacation time with you !

Well that's a beginning and enough for today ! The story continues.....

We were married on August 10th 1968 in the Mormon Church in Seattle, Washington, all friends and family were in attendance. It was a special day and we could hardly wait to take off for the Canon Beach coast line...But we waited until the next morning and set off on our honeymoon...3 days into the honeymoon I got sick..really sick! I couldn't sit up walk or anything...Ken put me in the back seat of the car and covered me up as I was shivering terribly..He raced to get me back to Seattle to the Hospital, once we returned and got to the Doctor, we found out that my right kidney had failed, and was infecting the other one, and I had to be rushed into surgery right away..what a way to start a marriage...It was touch and go there for awhile as both kidneys were failing..the doctors were trying to save the left kidney so they could operate...To make a long story short they did remove the right kidney and I had to stay in the Hospital for recovery for three weeks...

As tough as it was I think almost losing my life made us strong and our love even stronger..That remains true to this day !

It all started in 1968 that was the year I graduated from Evergreen High School, in June and that is also the month and year I met my Husband Ken...That's when my life really began...After 40 years of marriage and two children later.. and five wonderful grandchildren, I find myself retired after many different jobs..The last job was especially wonderful and the people I worked with were really special, many remain friends to this day. So now I'm retired finding I can do anything I want everyday, it's alittle strange...

That's the reason I'm doing this blog is to tell my life story for me and my family..It's been a wonderful life with many surprises along the way. And somehow now seems to be the right time...I was inspired by a dear friend and so it shall begin !

This is the first day of starting the documentation of my life !
So here it goes !
