Things I Love!

No it's not Valentine's Day. But I want to share things that I love so much about life. It helps me realize how much I have. and that "Love is a Gift"!



* Banick running to me with a huge grin and laugh ("Mommys here!") when I pick him up from Sunday school class
* Walking through my house and remembering that it's mine
* Banick's funny things he says. His view of the world is so darling and it is so great to watch him discover it.
* Date Night with Aaron. Makes me remember how great our love and conversations are.
* A sparkling clean anything.
* Vacation of any kind, but especially seeing somewhere new. Drives out of town, too.
* Good friends who are easy to talk to and fun to be around
* Singing songs of praise and worship to my Savior.
* Aaron coming home from work and chasing Banick around the house and doing somersalts.
* Banick singing any song. Especially when he meows to the words!!
(no wait, that is Aaron...I guess it's both of them!)
* A day where, at the end, I have accomplished at least something worthwhile
* When I slow down and enjoy the moment I am in with my son and / or husband
* Banick's absolutely contagious grin.
* Preparing a meal that impresses Aaron. or that Banick actually eats.
* Finishing a home-made craft project of any kind (a rarity), or a piece of art
* Decorating the house
* Creating a unique type cake for anyone. But mostly people I know and love.
* Having family around and playing games or just talking and laughing
* Laughing! A good, uncontrollable laughing session.(usually when Im exhausted)
* When the creation around me suddenly causes me to stand in awe of our Lord.
The moon or a sunset never fails to do this.
* Remembering the "real life" romance I still have after almost 10 years, and how blessed I am to live in it everyday.


I know I of course didnt hit everything I love, but these are a few I can think of right now. Life is beautiful, people. Not easy, not perfect, not without trials, and lessons to be learned. But so so beautiful. Look around. Enjoy it.
