Five on Friday

Happy Halloween, y’all! It’s been a busy week at work full of needy college students and I’ve been fighting a headache all week. Here’s to hoping we have a calm day at the office!

In case you missed my post yesterday, I shared the exact moment in Rwanda where I knew I was doing exactly what God called me to do and I’m really starting to understand why I’ve struggled so much with being back in the states.

But back to business as usual…

ONE | In case you’re wondering if our Halloween plans will include a haunted house, I’ll let these pictures answer that for ya.

This was almost ten years ago and I’ve never stepped foot in another haunted house. And to be honest, this wasn’t even a real haunted house. It was one of those haunted rides at the fair and I’m pretty sure there were children half my age that weren’t as scared as me.

TWO | We didn’t get the dogs new costumes this year because how many costumes do dogs really need? Don’t answer that, Cory!

See how much my dogs love Halloween?

THREE | After wearing the same pair of leggings all last winter, I knew it was time to invest in a new pair. I must have looked at Sheaffer’s highly recommend leggings 729 times last year but finally pulled the trigger on them with some birthday money.

Oh.my.word! Why did I wait so long?? I wore them all day on Sunday {and even took a nap in them} and they held there shape ALL day. If you haven’t picked up a pair yet, you are seriously missing out.

FOUR | I’ve seen this scarf all over blogland the past couple weeks and as soon as I found out it was only $16.99 at Target, I immediately headed to the closest store to see if it was available. Of course, they were all sold out and weren’t in stock anywhere in SC or GA. Just my luck!

BUT…somehow Amber found two in Greenville last weekend and picked me up one. Is she not the best?

It’s a close call but this scarf may have officially taken my #1 spot over my leopard print Michael Kors scarf from last year. Shocking, I know.

FIVE | For the past couple months, Cory and I have been considering canceling our DirecTV account. He could care less about watching TV but it’s one of my favorite things to do. {Sad to admit but true.} We’ve pretty much come up with a way to watch all of our favorite shows without having satellite except for Pretty Little Liars and of course, college football but those alone aren’t worth the $80/month we spend. Do any of y’all live without satellite or cable? Will I survive without being able to watch my favorite shows on DVR?

Kidding about the surviving part. Kind of.

So we still haven’t decided what our Halloween plans are but I’m thinking after the week I’ve had that staying at home doesn’t sound too bad. We aren’t real big into Halloween so neither of us have a costume, if we did decide to go somewhere. What are your plans? Do you go big for Halloween or are you more likely to chill at home and watch Hocus Pocus?
