Well here we are!

ok so I finally broke down and got myself a Blog! Heaven knows I am no good at keeping journals in person but I figured I would give the cyber world a shot. I mean why not write for the whole world right? Sounds perfectly safe to me, although my parents might think there is a conspiracy. Needless to say I mainly did this for family, friends, myself, and my precious Lilly to time stamp our milestones without having to post it for everyone who doesn't truly care on Facebook.

So we will start with the simple things. The blog name. Simple, ya right. I wanted to have the perfect name, probably not so perfect, but how does anyone come up with the perfect name. I was going to use our name miller. And go with the whole miller life idea but I decided I do not want a blog post that resembles a beer slogan to represent my family, although many of you may enjoy beer, it just wasn't for us. So then I thought how about a bouquet. I am not sure that many realize that our little girls name was decided because of the meaning. my husband Grant sharing the name of a president, and my name heather being a flower decided that perhaps we would name a boy a presidents name and a girl a flower name. When we found out girl it was, we fell in love with the name Lillianne because it means flower and her middle name Hadley because it means field of Heather or from the field where heather grows. How perfect! So bouquet was my next thought, but bouquet is such a yucky fancy word. I wanted something simple. A field. I was going to call it field of flowers, but who knew Field of Flowers is a band. So why not go with the word that this family has brought? Joy. A field of joy it is.
