Hodgepodge

Okay, people, this is our last week before the holidays officially kick off. What?!? This means that my tree will go up NEXT week. Yes, I put my Christmas decor up the week of Thanksgiving, but somehow I am in denial. For some reason, I am just not ready this year and still feel like summer was just a few weeks ago. How did we get here?

So, onto my hodgepodge of a weekend...

 
1. Do we see a pattern in these pictures? Antlers. And more antlers. Listen, I know just as much as anyone that horns, antlers and animal mounts are "in" at this moment and time, but I never thought they would end up in my bedroom. (Picture to the right). Compromise is part of marriage, right? I will say, I am loving how our home office turned out. I got the majority of the display pieces at Hobby Lobby and on Etsy.


2. I lit up my Scentsy burner with a little apple pie goodness. Ross walked in the door thinking I was actually baking one. He should definitely know better.
 
3. Found this picture while I was cleaning this weekend. Dear Lord, thank you for allowing me to grow into my fat head and bringing back the design in this sweater. My dad was cool even back then. I wish he still had it. It would SO be mine!

4. Happy snail mail day. These beauties came in the from Shop Gallery Style. Definitely my new favorites.

5. Hanging out with some of my best friends in the whole wide world for a little college football. Too bad my alma mater, Texas State, lost. What a game! BUUUUUUT, how about the Texas Aggies? Texas boys showed Alabama, the #1 team in the nation, how it's done.


6. I didn't actually make it to church on Sunday, but did watch the service online. I swear, I paid more attention at home than I typically do when I am actually present in the congregation. It was an amazing message on HONOR. Honoring the church to be exact. I was reminded to take notice, take hold, take action and take off. Amen.

7. Sunday wearings. Not much to say here except that I felt a bit like a yellow canary.

8. I hope everyone took time out of their day yesterday to honor and show their appreciation to a U.S. military vet or someone currently serving. My hero is my dad. He was a marine in Vietnam. I could not be more proud to say that I am a daughter of a man who fought for our country and put his life on the line for us all. I love you, Daddy.

9. And then, wrapping up the hodgepodge weekend came the game of the season. Both teams had a record of 7-1. I have never seen so many turnovers in one game in all my life. My throat is a little sore today. Yes, I am THAT girl. I will always be that girl when it comes to the Houston Texans and San Antonio Spurs. We pulled the win and are now officially the BEST team in the NFL!

In other news....I decided to take the LEAP and host my very first link up this Wednesday. Start thinking about some randomness. What's on your mind? Anything and everything goes.
