Hotel....Motel....Holiday Inn....
Actually the Grand Hyatt!

Cory and I realized several months ago that a credit card I have had since college has been accruing bonus points each month. After you earn so many "thank you" points you can go on a website and redeem different rewards. Cory and I decided to use our points for a gift certificate to a Hyatt Hotel. We booked a night at the Grand Hyatt DFW, where we stayed on our wedding night. When we got to the hotel, my sweet husband kindly asked the lady working at the front desk if she had any upgrades available. Lo and Behold they did and we were upgraded to an Executive Suite once again...which is what we stayed in on our wedding night. It was awesome! It also included breakfast in the package that we booked. Here are a few pictures. Everyone should stay at this hotel at least once. It is pure luxury!



Our very own Keurig that they delivered to our room so we could enjoy some coffee in the morning. They knew we were coming!

The awesome bathroom that included a bathtub and a SEPARATE shower....how many hotels have that feature?



The living room

The bedroom with its own separate flat screen tv

Our robes and slippers

The super comfy bed with an ihome so you can bring your own ipod.


The view from our room where we could see planes landing and taking off....but you don't hear any of it!
Cory and I on our way to dinner....Cheesecake Factory....where we used more of our reward gift cards. Even though we didn't go far, it was awesome to just get away for a night.

Black Friday: Go big or go home!


One of my many favorite things about thanksgiving: the paper with all of the ads!


You can't participate in Black Friday unless you have some coffee in your system. You have to have your game face on and coffee pumping through your veins!
Notice the clock says 4:45....that's am people. Yeah...we aren't as hardcore as some people we know! We didn't sleep in a tent and we only got up at 4:15.
Trying to get a little pep in his step!

Cory braving Target and running people over with the cart. We would show you our purchases, but we don't want you to see what we got you for Christmas.

The Werley family decided to go big this year and fry up Tom the Turkey

This is what we call "manning the turkey"
