5 on Friday

Cheers to the lovely lady creators of this 5 on Friday link-up (hiii Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!)!!

CARRIE + THE SOUND OF MUSIC
I know I'm a goob in general, but I literally teared up and got chills when I saw this commercial on tv. Then I immediately googled and watched every preview available on NBC...and the tears started. Yep, I told you I'm a goob. I can't help it.

The tears flowed at "Thhheeeee hiiiilllllssss are aaliiiiiiiiive..." I love me some Carrie Underwood. And The Sound of Music is my favorite movie of all time. (Fun fact: When I was in 4th grade, I was Marta in my school's upper school musical. Ha!) I am so so so so excited to watch this!!! And speaking of songs from The Sound of Music...

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS {the link up!}

THOSE PJs...

Remember the pjs I wrote about last week that were on sale? Well, I bought them. I asked Mark if he would buy them for me for Christmas. He told me no...because he didn't want to wait till Christmas to have me wearing them! Swoon. Who knew the hubby would think flannel pajamas are so darn cute? Bless him.

No pupjamas to share this week. But a pup on my new pink pajamas works too. ;)

They're still on sale here if you waaaant themmmm....!

BUSTING OUT THE DECORATIONS!
I always decorate before Thanksgiving. I want to give my darling Christmas decor as much time outside of the attic as possible! So far I've only begun with our mantel. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to hang the stockings! Here's to keeping our eyes set on Jesus through the holiday season as well as through every other time of year!

Want to know more about the banner/garland/bunting/whatever you wanna call it?

I shared this DIY yesterday. And PS, it was <$5 to make.

PANTHERS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Football is the only sport I truly enjoy watching (which is a total sin to say out loud as a Tar Heel. I know. I'm sorry. I'm owning it.) I've been a Panthers fan since the Panthers began. I grew up going to the games with my Dad (until my brother who is 11 years younger was old enough to go and booted me out of my daddy-daughter football dates. Bummer.).

Needless to say, I looooved going out to watch the game on Monday.

I also love that I've ignited an "American football" fan in my English hubs. Woopwoop!

...He even asked Santa for a Panthers jersey this Christmas. :)
