Puppies and kids aren't all that different...

So, I just got back from my family dinner. My family tries to get together at least once a month, and usually at my brother, Randy's house. Well, we added a new member to our family this week. It is a new little beagle puppy. She is SOOOO cute!! The proud parents are my brother, Geoff and my sister in law, Molly.

The big question of the evening was what do we name this puppy?? All sorts of names were thrown around, but I think that Copper finally won out, although I still like Chloe. :) She is so cute and playful and the kids had a great time chasing her around and playing with her. The highlight of the night was when "puppy" had an accident by the front door and the kids all had to go and check it out and report back. It was pretty hilarious! It was also cute to watch Geoff and Molly finally become parents... even if it has four legs and not two. I guess it will just get them ready for that next adventure! :)

The perfect date... with my mom!

I went on a date with my mom tonight and it was so fun! We went for some take out Mexican and Jazz music, and ended up watching Hairspray on the big screen! I LOVED it!! I CAN'T stop the beat! I love this movie and I was dancing and laughing the entire time... I know Mandy and Jenny know what I'm talking about... :) I highly recommend this one. If you love spontaneous singing (aka singing Turrets), infectious dancing and costumes dripping with rhinestones and sparkles, this movie is for YOU!!! Plus, John Travolta (Yes, yes, our own Danny Zuko) dressed in drag and shakin his caboose!! How can you NOT love that one? Go see it the first chance you get! Two thumbs WAY up!!

My 10 Year High School Reunion!

I just got back from my 10 year reunion in Grapevine, TX. It was pretty interesting to say the least...

I saw my best guy friend, RJ Flowers and we hung out and caught up and it was so fun! I also saw all of my church friends. I just love these girls, I mean women! They are amazing!

They are happy, have children, love their families and serve the Lord. I look up to each and every one of them and I am happy to call them my friends. I posted two pictures from the reunion... one of me and RJ and the other with the girls. I went to breakfast with the girls and it was so fun to catch up that we ended up talking for 4 hours! It was great fun to see them!

I also did a little shopping in Texas and I have to say I now love Sarah Jessica Parker's new "Bitten" clothing line! Mandy told me about it and she was right!! Everything is under $20 and it was FABULOUS!! I miss my little Grapevine Mills Mall... the ultimate outlet mall! I got three dresses, a pair of pants, a jacket, a shirt and two pairs of shoes for $300.00!! I was so excited! I can't wait to go back!

Well, I am home now for a while... I have been traveling like crazy and now I am taking a break for now, but look to my Travel Log for more info! :)

Welcome to my Blog!!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog... A Work in Progress.

I feel like this is the best way to describe my life right now. I am moving towards my end goal, but it is going to take some time for me to reach my full potential.

First of all, I just want to say thanks to my friends for getting me on here in the first place (Laralee, Sara, Courtney & Don). :) Per their advice, I am going to treat this as an online journal... which I guess is the purpose, right? I hope you enjoy my posts and enjoy my travel log and Ode to the Office. I will also have a crush of the week, which should be fun and if you want more information about my dating life, or lack their of, you can check out the link to He said, she said... the good, the bad and the ugly of the blind dating world.
Well, that is all for now. ENJOY!! Luv- Meg
