I don't know that I have ever done one of these before, but here goes! :)
10 Things That Make Me Happy:
1. Getting a restful nights sleep. Little E sleeps so well all through the night now, but since I have been pregnant my wacko prego dreams have made sleep very exhausting. Which means I am very very happy when I wake up in the morning and think, "Man I feel good" instead of "Just 5 more hours please!"
2. Eating Little E's neck. I have started a little game where I tell her that her neck is nummy and I am going to eat it. She instantly tries to cover her neck up with her chin and giggles and giggles as I nudge my way under it and give her neck all kinds of kisses and raspberries. Seriously the cutest kid ever!
3. A clean kitchen. I usually only see it once a day and only for a few minutes at that, but it makes me very very happy.
4. I am stealing this one from my friend Carly who tagged me, but I agree 100%! A long hot shower with no interruption! Shaving my legs, scrubbing my hair, and not hearing a screaming child who wants into the tub with me. BLISS! (I don't understand why she screams at me so much. I even bought a clear sower curtain so she would be able to see me through it, but it didn't help at all!)
5. Lilacs. I love lilacs! One of the reasons I was so excited about the house we bought was that it had lilacs for me to enjoy every spring! They are the best smelling flower ever and I can't wait until its finally warm enough here for me to enjoy them. :)
6. Getting something done that has been on my list for forever! I know you all get what I am talking about. Maybe its just writing a letter or getting a load of laundry done, but if its been on my to do list for over a week I feel pretty darn good getting it off of there!
7. Little E's new words. I can't get over how well she is starting to communicate! She isn't a little baby anymore and carry's on short little conversations with me all the time. She even used a 5 word sentence the other day. It went about like this, "Daddy! Coming? Outside! Nana's House!" Which translated is. Daddy are you comming we are going outside to Nana's house. She also likes to tell me about things she has done, like "Papa horses apples!" Or Papa helped me feed the horses some apples. It is so fun! I love every minute of it!
8. Really getting into exercising. I love when summer time comes and I can train for a 5K or Sprint Triathalon or something. Anything really to get me out of the house and in shape. Its one reason that I am a little bummed to be preganant all summer. I was hopeing that I would get at least 1 month of crazy workout fun. But that's ok because the town just to the north of us (where the collage is) is getting an aquatic center soon! So I will be able to work out even in the winter time after this baby comes. That helps me think of another thing that makes me happy!
9. Swimming! I never really liked swimming until I took a collage course on it! Now it is one of my loves! I love the way you glide through the water and come out feeling refreshed instead of hot and sweaty. I love just floating in the cool water watching the light reflecting off of the surface and dancing on the ceiling. I love the way that the world is quiet under water so you can just think and be yourself for a few short minutes without any interruptions. It really is a wonderful escape! I highly recommend everyone take a swimming class so they can enjoy it too!
10. My family! I love all of my family!!! My husband and child. My parents and siblings. And everyone on my dear husbands side of the family too! They are all so wonderful and I can never get enough time with them. I really wished more of them lived closer (hint hint! jk) I really do enjoy all of the laughs and fun that family brings into my life and am so grateful that I get to enjoy it as often as I do!
5 Pieces of Trivia About Me
1. I love to cook deserts! I don't really like making dinner or any other meal for that matter but if its got chocolate in it I am all over that action! Saddly I haven't been able to bake too much lately because I A. have no energy and B. don't want to gain to much weight, but man do I LOVE making and eating a good desert!
2. I really enjoy creating things. That is why I am so into sewing and crocheting. I think I enjoy the fact that I have finished a task that will actually stay finished, unlike laundry or dishes or changing a diaper. It means that I have something tangible to show for all the effort I put into it. That is a really nice feeling.
3. I can't get enough of outside stuff in the summer time! Its so fun to go hiking or bike riding as a family! I really enjoy looking at all of the wonderful plants and animals and realizing that God created it all for me to enjoy! It really helps me to feel the love He has for me. Plus it means that I get to be out spending time with my husband usually doing something he loves too. Double bonus! :)
4. I got to go to the south pacific when I was in the 4th grade. It was one of the best experiences of my life and someday I am going back there with my children so they can see all of the amazing things the world holds for them to enjoy! I can't wait to go scuba diving at a warm tropical reef! I really enjoyed scuba diving in CA with my sister a few years ago, but it was dang cold! I think it would be really fun to do it somewhere that you don't need and inch of neoprene on to not freeze off your little tushie!
5. I like bugs. Most people who know me are well aware of this, but it is a thing that makes me me. lol I don't even mind spiders so long as they aren't hobo's! (nasty little buggers!) My role in the house growing up was the spider saver. Some of my sisters were not so enlightened in the ways of the insect/arachnid and it was my duty to save the poor things from an untimely squishy demise. But I like I said, spiders are good in my book. My dear husband recently got a turantula for free as a class pet and I have to tell you, he is really cool to hold! It is so weird to feel something with that much weight that isn't a mamel or reptile.
So there you go Carly! That was actually really hard to do. I hate writing about myself! lol Its really hard to do. Now I guess I am supposed to tag a couple other people right? Ok, I tag all my blogging sistas! You know who you are! (A.T., L.C., M.E., and K.C.) I don't know if you wanted yoru names up so initials will have to do. I will be watching your blogs... j/k you don't have to do it if you don't wanna.
