i feel the best...

... when i wake up in the morning to my husband rubbing my back (sometimes)
... when we to get our babbling baby in the morning, open the door and he's standing waiting for us to open it and he starts smiling with his whole face and starts jumping up and down while holding the crib with a death grip.
... when my client listens to my stress while i listen to theirs.
... when a client tells me that i made their day, week, month or year.
... when someone tells me i look nice or cute
... if someone tells me they look up to me
... if my husband calls me by name
... that i get to be a mother in this life.
... that my husband lets me sit down after work with my feet up and watch t.v. and play on the computer for hours without complaining (on the outside, lol)
... when the weather is nice and i can be outside to enjoy it
... when i'm at home
... that my husband and i are sealed in the temple and to our son. That we are an eternal family. If you want to know how you can have an eternal family too. start here: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/
... when my dog eagerly greets me at the door when i come home
... when my cat wants a snuggle at night. even though i just want to go to sleep.
... that courtney chose us after you all prayed for her to.
... when i'm with my parents and siblings, their spouses and kids. we can be doing nothing or something, the outcome is the same. joy.
... that i have continued to grow and mature every day. thankful i'm not who i was when i was younger forever. i like age, it comes with wisdom.

... singing or even just listening to the music i like
... when i see or read what makes my friends happy (sorry but all the negative stuff... yikes!!!! except you dan, yours is hilarious. seriously lol)
... if i plan my day and accomplish everything on the list
... when my liquid eyeliner goes on perfect!
... after going to church and getting to participate in the lesson/s that day
... when i think about my childhood.

... when i think that i could have childREN (more than one. smile)
... that i get to live in middle tennessee
... that i get to visit southern california
... when i learn something new

I got started thinking about what really makes me happy. These are only "a few" but I hope I will think of many more. My life is simple. I love my little family and my relationship with my belief in a Father in Heaven that have got me to and get me through EVERYTHING in my life so far. Thanks Cherilyn for your post that inspired me to write what I love and am so grateful for. These things truly make me happy. There are things that make me unhappy but I tried not to list that stuff. I don't want to dwell on it or offend anyone. I hope all you blog stalkers out there will re-post this idea on your blogs when you have time. If you don't have a blog, I encourage you to write a list of things that make you purely happy. Keep it in a bible or journal or drawer and visit it often to enjoy your life. This was very therapeutic for me tonight. I'll try to revisit it too.
x's and o'ses. good night. ;)

This is a great list! I also love thinking back to the Everett and Issaquah days and remembering how you made me laugh everyday. Those were some good times. XOXO
