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!

Wedding Week...

...is here!!!

I can't wait for the celebrations to begin!

Tomorrow is our rehearsal and dinner at Hacienda. Friday is full of bridal luncheons and family dinners. And Saturday, well, you can guess what Saturday has in store. It's the day my new journey with the love of my life begins. The day I say "I do" and become a Telken.

So all I have left to say is... "BRING IT!"

Love,
Stevie Lewis (that's the last time I can say it!)

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Midwest weather is incredible. This year, we skipped from winter to summer and now, we've pretty much skipped the best season of all, Fall. It's cold and rainy and has been for weeks now. And the 10-day forecast is not looking too promising. I know, I know, the weather can change drastically in 10 days. But for now, I'm just going to keep humming "Rain, rain, go away."

And, looking on the bright side of things, I love wedding umbrella pictures! :-)

Hair Trial

So I had my hair trial tonight and it went perfectly. I honestly don't think these pictures do it justice, so you'll just have to take my word for it! We are doing a side bun, with curls and a braid and I absolutely adore it!

What do you think?

Back with the braid

Front with the swoop and the side bun

Back with my friend Arin's hair piece - my something "borrowed"

I didn't want to post pictures with the veil - those you'll have to wait until after the wedding. :-)

Good Honeymoon Reads?

So I'm trying to find the perfect book(s) to take with me on the honeymoon. Right now, the only book on my list is Dan Brown's new book "The Lost Symbol".

Any other good suggestions?

Too bad I already read the Twilight series. Edward would have made a nice tag-a-long.
