A happy list.

 I consider myself a happy person. I'm a lover of life and try really hard to make every day a good day. I believe in laughing a lot. I hear it gives you abs. Which has yet to happen for me which possibly means I am not laughing as much as I should be? I like to smile. Smiling is my favorite.

So a while back I started having a 'list of the week' that lasted apx 2 weeks. So here's a list I'm titling





Dancing- Not that I have a talent for this. I certainly do not. I'm good at the q-tip dance and I can definitely do the grocery shopping move, but other than that it's probably not a beautiful thing to see. But I think it's fun. I need to go country swing dancing here! It's been far too long.

The eye doctor- I get to see my favorite doctor of all time today! Not the particular person, the particular kind of doctor. Every time you go to a doctor, you have a reason you're there. Doctors will either tell you whats wrong, or give you medicine to fix it, etc. But your problem doesn't go away at the office or hospital. If you broke your arm, sure the doctor will put you in a cast, if you have strep throat, sure the doctor will give you medicine. But will your pain and problems be resolved right then and there? I say, no way! The eye doctor, he solves the problem in the instant. I go in every year with my prescription {unfortunately} getting worse. I leave with a new pair of contacts and my problem is fixed. That second. There is a special place in heaven for ophthalmologists! If I were going to be a doctor, I'd be an eye doctor.

Dried apples- They are a great sweet snack and I really enjoy the texture. Is that weird?

My photography clients- I especially love it when they enjoy the results so much they send me thank you notes. It makes my day.

My pearl trademark- the other day I took a nap and took off my necklace and earrings and forgot to put them back on after. That evening someone totally noticed and asked why I wasn't wearing them! I love that!

Non chlorinated bodies of water- Sure, pools are nice, but nothing beats the summer heat like a cold reservoir or lake or ocean. Too bad Porcupine was too low to go cliff jumping yesterday! I was sad about this.

Creating- I love creating almost anything. Whether it be a beautiful image, a new decoration, a food dish, other art. I love putting things together to make something new and better.

Writing cards- I'm trying to do this more often. I think noticing simple things to thank someone for can make almost anyone happier. I don't want card writing to die. Also, picking out cute stamps is fun.

Well designed advertisements and billboards- There are so many horrible looking billboards on the freeway. I'm on the free way almost every day and it drives me nuts when you can't tell what on earth the billboard is advertising. It also drives me nuts when store advertisements are pixelated and bad quality. Seriously people, can't  you hire someone who will make your company look better?

Shooting in new locations- I have found a lot this summer and can't wait to use them all! They're so pretty! Who wants to join me?

Limeade- Its the best summer drink. Even better than Dr. Pepper. And that's saying something for me.

It just gets Stranger- I'm still obsessed with this blog. And the best news?? Eli is moving back to Utah!! :D Ask me how happy this makes me! Ask me!

Gemma saying my name- It makes me sooo happy! I need to record it so I can always remember it and show it to her when she's older.

French Fries- This is a horrible one. I seriously love french fries. Definitely a weakness of mine. I enjoy trying to new places just to try their fries....

Obviously there are a lot more, but that's the list for now.
