#75 Homecoming + Easy Breezy

This weekend was another item checked off our list of things to do in our new city. We did Homecoming Football at Baylor (click on the link). It was such a fun event. So much to see and do.

Our view of the field

That bonfire though!! Picture Via Google

Believed to be the longest Collegiate parade in the nation (Click here to read all about it's history)

We were given an incredible gift of two tickets to the game. This was my fist ever experience of anything in a stadium (I am such a country girl I know. I totally need to experience new things a little more). I have never been to a pro game of any kind, much less a college one. I was beyond excited!!

Mister and I started the afternoon festivities with a walk on campus. Another first for us. In a years time, we have never done anything together on campus. As we strolled passed Fountain Mall, my heart began to fill with so much gratitude.

Picture Via Google. I forgot to get a picture as we passed. Isn't it beautiful at night? 

Have you ever been so focused on situations happening in your life, that you literally can't see the forest for the trees? That has been me for some time now. However, in that moment, strolling along with this amazing person by my side, I was able to see the forest in all it's Majesty.  Seeing all that God has given us in such a small amount of time. In that moment I took my eyes off what I thought was the big picture and saw so many little blessings all around me. Isn't it funny how God speaks to us when we least expect it. He has been so very, very good to us.

We made our way across the bridge over the Brazos River (pronounced Braz-zus. Remember assimilation. I think we are almost there) heading towards McLane Stadium.

On our walk back to the car. This guy is everything to me. 

You could feel the electricity in the air. Students, Alum and the like, all in anticipation of the anthem, the jets flying overhead, the fireworks. And then....

The Baylor Line!! (There is no way to describe it unless you click here)

This is a sight to behold. Hundreds of students running across the field, making two lines that would soon welcome their beloved BEARS to the field!!

Sadly, we lost in a nail-biter at the end but we felt like winners nonetheless.

On our drive back home, with Taco Bell wafting through the car, I felt at peace with the world.

In other news, there is this!!

It's Fall Y'all!! And all God's people said AMEN!

So until next time sweet friends. Take time to look for your small blessing all around you every day.
