Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

 

I thought I would share a few things that I am SO thankful for this year in honor of Turkey Day today!

 

{My AMAZING hubby, who puts up with my antics daily. Just ask him, putting up Christmas lights last weekend was quite a task with me there "helping"}

 

{Our doodle puppy, Murphy Miller, who is just the most awesome thing that has happened recently. He is SO MUCH FUN and I have definitely taken on a very protective motherly role in his life}

 

{My wonderful parents, who babysit Murphy every single day while we are at work. We couldn't do life without them, really!}

 

{Our beautiful home that has finally started to feel "homey". We are finished with fixing our issues and are all decorated for Christmas, which ALWAYS makes things better}

 

{My fabulous friends, who I love to death. They are the best and have been there for me forever}

 

{My close-knit family, because what is better than that, especially around the holidays}

 

{2014 - it has been a CRAZY year, but probably the BEST year of my life}

 

{ALL OF YOU, my blog readers, because it's WAY more fun when people actually read what I write :)}

 



 

We will be spending today with family at my parents house, eating lots and lots of food. Friday morning, we are off to Fort Worth to visit with the hubs family. I am hoping to get a little shopping in too! I am SO thankful for this year and everything it has brought! What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

 

I hope you have a fantastic holiday!

Holiday Gift Guide: Under $25

Hello! I'm back on the blog today with a holiday gift guide under $25!! I seriously love all of these items!!! I may have several on my Christmas list and if not, it's because I already own them! A lot of these things would be perfect stocking stuffers too! Like I've said before, NOW is the time to start your shopping if you haven't already because many items take longer to be customized or are on sale now!! I'm sure you'll find something on this list that will make its way into your present pile.

 {Initial Love Bangle}

I got this bangle last year from the hubs for Christmas and LOVE it! I have received so many compliments on it. And the best part is that it's only $22!!!

{Essie Holiday Collection}

I'm a nail polish junkie and love this Essie holiday collection from Target! It has all of their most popular 2014 colors that can be used throughout every season. At only $14.99 it makes a great stocking stuffer!



{JCrew Plaid Ear Muffs}

These are just TOO CUTE! They are definitely on my Christmas wish list this year. I love the plaid pattern and the faux fur interior. For only $14.50, I think these are a steal!

{CatStudio State Tea Towel}

We've all seen the beloved CatStudio state pillows, but if you aren't willing to shell out the $158 for those then these tea towels are the perfect option for you! They are only $20 and have the same amazing embroidered detail as the pillows. Buy 2 and get free shipping from CatStudio!

{Graphic Lounge Tees}

I really like these graphic lounge tees from Old Navy. They would be so cute paired with pajama pants! I definitely have these on my Christmas list this year! $15-$18!

{The Pioneer Woman Cookbook}

I'm slightly obsessed with Ree Drummond's Saturday morning cooking show and always find her recipes to be delicious. I love the idea of gifting her Holiday cookbook for Christmas and I'm sure there are some scrumptious recipes inside.

 

 

Here's to Christmas Shopping Early!

Wedding Part 7: The Reception

It's snowing outside!!! I can't believe it! And it's the perfect day to post my final photos from the wedding. Our reception was SO MUCH FUN! But, for those of you who weren't there, let me just tell you how unlucky I am... Not only did it rain on our wedding day and cause us to move our ceremony indoors, but the power also went out mid-dancing at our reception. Total bummer! Luckily, it came back on about 30 minutes later and definitely made for some good stories. We also got lucky because one of Michael's groomsmen had a battery powered speaker in his car, so we weren't without music for long. THANKS MARK!

{First Dance: "Oh, Tonight" by Josh Abbott Band}

{Father Daughter Dance: "There Goes my Life" by Kenny Chesney}

My Dad picked out our dance song and it couldn't have been more perfect.

{Mother Son Dance: "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars}

{My hubs is a dancin' man}

{My Chi-O Sisters} 

{OSU Golf Group}

{Wobblin with my bestie}

{POWERS OUT!}

{Mark saving the day with his speakers!}

{Dog Days dancing}

{wiggle wiggle wiggle, ha!}

{Funny Story: I had an OU garter and Michael is just about to find out!!}

{OU!}

{disgusted by my choice of garter!}

{cyclone!}

{there goes my MOH with my train, thanks Kim for carrying that heavy thing around all night when the bustle came undone!}

And that's a wrap!

Happy Snow Day!
