thankful

Today I am thankful for --

My husband.  He's my rock, my smile, my heart.

My family.  They are my life support and provide me with laughter, love and memories.

Cooper, my pup.  He's my buddy!  And I can't wait for him to be Uncle Cooper :-)

My friends.  Whether old or new, near or far...all of them make me who I am.

Our house.  It's a work in progress, but we have finally made it a home...together.

Health.

Happiness.

A great career.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.  Be thankful, not only for today, but every day.

"We've made it this far,

might as well keep going."

A Tuesday quote from Matthew Telken.

Why? Well, it's our one month anniversary!  Today, I woke up to Matt making me coffee, packing my lunch and playing our first dance song, Lucky.  And that is just what I'm feeling.

Happy Tuesday!

Aww. The Joy's of...

Road rage drivers.

So, it's Monday morning.  I'm in a great mood.  Christmas music is officially playing 24/7 on 102.5 (Delilahhhh) and I'm excited for the short week.

I'm just driving along and BAM.  A car ALMOST runs right into me.  They see me in front of them changing lanes, however, they have to rush to change into that lane as well, not caring if they hit me or not. 

What is it with road ragers?  Why are people so insensitive that if they do something wrong, they can't even bring themselves to give you the "I'm Sorry" wave.  Come on people!  I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode.

Jerry: "Where's my thank you wave?  I want my thank you wave!"

Well, the same goes for people who cut you off, tail you to no end and are beyond rude on the road.  I'll admit, I tend to be a fast driver, but by no means am I ignorant enough to not apologize when I've done something wrong, i.e. almost hit someone.

That is all.  My vent for the day is finished.

Hobby Lobby

I don't know about you, but I am quite the fan of Hobby Lobby.  And because this is me and Matt's "1st Christmas", I'm really excited to decorate the house to the max.  So I'm heading to my favorite store tonight to start getting creative.

This trip is supposed to be about finding the perfect wreath and materials to decorate it with.  See, I'm hosting the Weber Shandwick annual wreath-making party in a couple of weeks!  I have never made a wreath before, so the mass researching has begun and I'm super excited to start! 

Here are some looks I'm digging right now...

Of course, while I'm there I'll go down every aisle in search for amazing Christmas decorations.  They are having some great deals this week, which makes it the perfect time to go.

What are you creating this year for Christmas?  Anything fun?  Do tell!

Today I'm thinking about...

Delicious chocolate 'smores

Weathered furniture

(which reminds me of my to do list of actually "weathering" my furniture)

The Grand Opening of Forever 21 at The Galleria on Saturday

Tonight's episode of GLEE

And finally, something that is on my mind every day...

A puppy, just like this one

Happy Wednesday!

Veterans Day

A time to honor military veterans.

A time give thanks to those currently serving.

A time to truly appreciate freedom.

Goodbye Lewis, Hello Telken!

Well, it's official. I'm a Telken! It's been awhile since I posted an update, but the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of new journeys and wonderful memories. The wedding was wonderful, the honeymoon was amazing and our new adventure has begun.

I have so much to fill you in on, but becuase I don't have much time, I'll leave you with one of my favorite pictures so far. Thanks Mike for taking the most beautiful images. They are definitely holding me over until I get to see the professional pictures next week. (Also, many more images on Mike's blog, if you care to take a peek).

We're married!
