Ten Things That Make Me Happy
1. My husband. Even though we lose patience with each other on occasion, we have endured a lot and managed to come through it together. He is generous and wonderful, and I too often take him for granted.
2. My daughter. I look at her and can't imagine how she came from Duane and me. Her personality has flourished so much in the last year, and she really is just an easy kid. She doesn't fuss too much (though she has phases of clinginess) and she sleeps easily at night. She is beautiful and full of life and I thank God every day that she is healthy.
3. My friends. If you know me, you know it takes a lot for me to let you in. I will be friendly to just about anyone, but I don't trust easily and I am very guarded. So my friends are very special to me, because they know me and know my ways and put up with me and all my sarcasm.
4. My jobs. Yes, plural. My first job sustains us, and I really do enjoy it, because I house more knowledge about our products than most people could ever hope to. My second job has helped us get back on track to being normal people who can go to dinner without worrying about where the money is coming from. On that note, my husband's job makes me happy because it was the lifeline we needed at a very rough time and it holds MUCH potential for the future.
5. Shopping for my "new" car. I am very much looking forward to purchasing it, after test-driving a Honda Pilot yesterday. I am admittedly nervous though, as I was very uneasy driving a car that is not my Accord. I have grown to be a part of my car, so that I know just how to steer to take a turn with ease.
6. Buckeye football. The spring game was a horrible tease for the upcoming season, and I can't wait to go to a Thursday night game in September. I am even thinking of planning an away-game trip.
7. Thinking about redecorating Rachel's new room this summer. I am by no means talented at this, but I am excited to make a better room for her, now that we know more about her personality.
8. Thinking of future children we may have, if we are so blessed to have them. Not just yet, but maybe soon.
9. Online TV/audiobooks. I love listening to these as I get ready in the morning or while I am at work, doing something mindless.
10. Making cakes in my spare time. Though this is extremely stressful to me, it is always fun to see how they turn out.

I'm passing this on to...
Allison, my very wonderful friend who always has such sweet things to say
