My First Blog

I sit here today when I should be cleaning my house, but no, I'm putting my feet up for a minute, here on my comfy couch thinking of all of the things that I want to say and accomplish with this blog. I guess for those of you who are interested, I will tell you a little about myself. My name is Jessica Miller. I just recently turned 30, and so far, I am loving it! I was born in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. I moved to Sunnyvale, CA when I was 14. I got married to the love of my my life - Daniel Miller - on April 21, 2001. Our daughter Madison was born on January 30, 2005. She is definitely our biggest joy. That's the basics, and probably over time, I will divulge more about me.

Anyway, I was driving home this morning after dropping of Madison at her grandparents. They are AWESOME in more ways than one- not the least of which is that they watch her on Thursdays so I can keep my sanity. I was thinking how much of who I have become is a direct result of her. My identity in the "corporate world" has ceased, and I'm learning to exist in a position that requires me to be available 24/7/365. It's funny....there are moments in the day that I wish that I could just have a few moments to myself and when those opportunities are granted, all I want is to be with her. I feel like a part of me is missing. Like a major body part of mine is temporarily not attached, and I can't wait until I get it back. I know that I have A LOT to say, but the cleaning bucket is calling my name, and I only have so much time until the bell tolls 3:30, and I have to go and pick her up again.
