Things that make me smile..

In no particular order...(except the first one...he's actually first)

My husband.

Being greeted by my puppies when I get home.

Having Bear try to get in my lap when I'm at the computer and demand that I pay attention to him and not the computer.  He gives me kisses and lots and lots of snuggles.  It melts my heart :)

Cooper saying goodbye to me in the morning.  He always gets up from wherever he's laying when he hears me get my keys to unlock the door.  He practically walks me out the door.  So cute!

Babies.

Hugs and "I love you"s from my students.

Looking at pictures of good memories with friends and family.

Weekends.

A shiny sink.

Vacuumed carpets.

My husband (he deserves 2 spots)

An empty laundry basket (ok so that WOULD make me smile, but unfortunately I don't usually get to experience it - haha)

Chocolate.

Ice cream.

Summer break.

Babies (did I say that one already?)

Butterflies.

Thinking about college and Aggie football games (even if we don't win very many of them).

Bunco.  Even though I never win :)

Thinking about all the blessings I have because of the family I was born into and the family I have married into.

Friends.

Girl Scout Cookies - caramel delights, peanut butter patties & thin mints.

The Pioneer Woman and all of her crazy stories and delicious recipes.

Spring Break.

My Grandma's fried chicken.

Thinking about the day I married the man God so graciously gave to me.

Thinking about spending the rest of my life and having a family with the wonderful man God so graciously gave to me.



Tough days can so easily blind us from all the beautiful/special/happy things in life.  I thought I needed a list I could go to when I need that little reminder that life isn't all that bad, so there it is.  It's not a complete list, but it's a good reminder.  What makes you smile??
