I've been reminded here lately on how thankful I should be. My life is pretty great! I decided to come up with a few things I love......In no particular order
I LOVE............
1. My little family. Although having a 3yr old and 1 yr old is pretty stressful and downright exhausting sometimes it is also the most wonderful thing! Our two kids are the funniest little people and they each have their own unique personality. We are blessed beyond words to even be able to have kids and I thank God for them each and every day.
2. My husband....duh! I know most women say that they are lucky to marry their husbands. I hit the freaking jackpot!! Justin has so many traits that you don't always find in a man. He comes home from football exhausted and stressed and still helps me with the kids. He cooks dinner more often than I do because he is the better cook. He will do whatever housework I need him to. He loves to wear pink and I love it when he wears it. he is definitely not afraid to show emotion.....he's a cryer people. He gives me my "me time" breaks when he sees that I am in desperate need of one. He is athletic, funny, smart, and hot! AND he is MINE :) yay me!
3. Our church......we recently joined Summerland Baptist Church. Our good friend's, The Milner's, invited us and we were hooked. There are so many couples our age and a ton of children our kid's age that go there. Bro. Eric Estess is great and his wife Maria is a hoot and a half! Mrs. Candee, our Sunday School teacher, is hilarious and makes our class a wonderful place to be!
4. My hairdresser......Yes, this person is very important let's be honest! Ashley Sims is the sweetest, most talented stylist I have ever had and trust me, I have had several. She is always on time, listens to what I want to do with my mop, always does a great job, and always makes those 2-3 hour appointments enjoyable. Nothing is worse than a bad hair dresser!! Give her a call........she is the BEST!!
5. Christmas time.......I have always loved this time of the year but it has grown since we have had children. I love everything from decorating (even though I'm not very good) to buying presents and even wrapping them. I love the smell of a real Christmas tree. I love looking at all of the houses with toms of Christmas lights. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie National Lampoons Christmas Vacation....you serious Clark? I love trying to make that special Christmas card picture that everyone will love. I love seeing all of my family because Christmas and Thanksgiving are really the only times we all get together....which I don't love. Oh, and I LOVE our 2 week Christmas vacation from school!
6. Mexican food.......I could eat chips, salsa, and cheese dip every single day. I'm surprised my two kids weren't born with sombreros because when I was pregnant I craved Mexican food even more! We eat at Mi Casita so much that the waiters know what we want and ask us where our kids and Johnny is when we are alone.....it's actually kinda sad.
7. Reality TV and Gossip Mags.....I love both.....a lot! Thank goodness for DVR and On Demand because that allows me to catch all of my favorite shows. The Bravo channel is my favorite. I also love gossip magazines. There is nothing better than an issue of US Weekly and my recliner.
8. Shopping......by myself. I'm the weirdo that loves to shop alone. I like to go at my own pace, browse, and go wherever I want to go. We should have really chosen different professions because our salaries does not support my love of shopping.....not even close.....sigh
9. The Movies........I really don't care what movie we see, I just love going to the movies. I love the seats, concession stand, and previews. I DO NOT like the talkers!! I can't stand it when someone talks or makes comments during an entire movie.
10. Mascara.......I simply could not live without it.....period!
11. Self-tanner.......This is a necessity for me. The sun and my skin are mortal enemies and I have the dermatology bills to prove it. I have tried every kind of self tanner on the market and my favorite is the Loreal Sublime Bronzer.
12. JCJC......I made some great memories at that school. Can I go back?
13. Music.....I have a very broad taste in music. I love riding in my car alone with one of my favorite songs on full blast. I think Avery also has a love for music. The girl will dance to anything you turn on......uh oh
14. Black & White pictures.......b&w pictures are classic and beautiful. I also love adding just a touch of color to some.
15. Mississippi Magazine's Bridal registry Issue......I look forward to this issue every year. I love looking at all of the pictures and reading the wedding details. Thank you mom for putting our wedding in it......great keepsake!
16. Target......it has everything Wal-Mart has only cuter. Laurel needs one ASAP!!
17. Oxford......can we move there please?
18. Key West......Ok, we will split our time between here and Oxford.
19. Chocolate........Halloween and Valentine's day is HELL for me.
20. O'Charley's loaded potato soup.....BEST SOUP EVER!!
21. My happy life
