Things that make me happy!

Lately, I've been trying really hard to look at life with the glass half full. So I thought I would share a few things that are filling my life with joy.
The new U2 Album, it's cool and different and well U2 is my favorite
4-day weekend, yay!
Our green house works! (picture below)
It snowed, but it melted the next day
feeling the burn in my abs after a good workout
Crystal Light singles, they help me drink lots of water
Lilly counting her pennies in spanish
Random Christmas songs in my playlist
A guy dressed up like Super Mario in front of Domino's Pizza
Dr. V. made cheesecake for us last night
Dr. B. made cookies for us last night
That Mike likes to listen to Ashley Simpson and isn't ashamed to admit it (I like her too)
I had time to tune my guitar the other day
Lilly can spell her name, MOM and DAD
That my best girlfriend is getting married and get's to make more babies (go J-bird!)
My new computer monitor, it's big and widescreen
I'm all caught up with the episodes of Ugly Betty (I watched them on my new computer monitor)
Lilly making nests
Mike just calling from school to say I love you
Left over BBQ Hotdogs

I know random stuff, but that's me - I'm pretty random.

A couple of weeks ago my friend and I were talking and she mentioned that she heard a talk at church and it really touched her and she shared it with me. (this is my memories version) A wife was miserable she had just moved to a strange place, had a new baby and her husband was extremely busy at his new job. She felt all alone and missed everything she moved away from. Her husband found her crying one day and asked what was wrong. He just couldn't comprehend why she would be sad.... she explained to him how alone and depressed she was. He gave her this council: These are the times in our lives we will look back on and laugh, let's try and make good memories and be able when we are older to be able to say we experienced great joy through our trials.

I loved this, I want to make good happy memories of my family's life right now. Like this couple, Mike and I moved away from everything and are living a very active life. But the moments that we are together are so happy and I am so glad to be able to look back and laugh, and my heart is full. I am so glad that we are able to have our own little adventure.
