Friday Favorites: Baylor Bound

Happy Friday, friends! I am so excited that Christmas season is in full swing. There is so much to do, but it is definitely the most wonderful time of the year. Chris is flying home from an interview tonight, and we have a fun weekend ahead.

On to my Friday Favorites this week:

/ / One:
Yesterday, we volunteered at the Operation Christmas Child processing center at work. This was our second year doing it, and it is always a lot of fun. I love seeing so many boxes in one place on their way to children all over the world.
/ / Two:
We are headed to Baylor for the Baylor vs. Kansas State game this weekend! I am so excited to be back on campus, and College GameDay will be there so we might drive in super early to be part of the crowd. We haven’t seen the new stadium yet so we can’t wait to go.

/ / Three:
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done. Now I just need to wait for everything to arrive! I am anticipating over 20 packages over the next few weeks. Oh boy.

/ / Four:
Remember these boots? I got them for half price, and I liked them so much, I kept both the brown and black. They are warm and water-resistant so I’m sure I’ll get a lot of use out of them.

/ / Five:
I want to thank you all for your sweet responses to my writing process post. I really love the blogging community, and I am so thankful for your kind feedback!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Linking up with LaurenAmandaKarli, and Amy.

  1. I am sure the UPS man thinks I'm crazy because of all the packages I have been getting lately. I did all my black friday shopping online and got probably 75% of christmas shopping done so the amount of boxes has been crazy haha!

  4. Isn't it thrilling to come home and find a package on your doorstep, even if it's something you ordered for someone else?! I think the UPS man is trying to figure what on earth we do all day besides online shop. Between Amazon Prime and Black Friday deals and Christmas shopping, we've had a delivery almost every day over the last couple of weeks!

  11. Good list! I wish we could more easily do online shopping but many websites get really twisted around when you put in Asian addresses! Also, as a fellow Big12 Alumnus, Go Pokes! Beat OU this weekend! And I guess go Baylor, just for you.

  12. Yay for Chris being home! Yay for college football and going to a game! {We never made it to any this season.} Those boots are great and aren't you so glad you waited for them to go on sale?
