Simple Life

Recently I’ve been thinking more about my life and how God has blessed me. While my life may look simple to some people, I believe it is so unique and special to me. So I decided to make a list of all the things I’m thankful for and all the little things in life I enjoy. This may be boring to some of you, but oh well. It’s my blog :)

Things I’m oh so thankful for!

1. A loving family

2. A good church

3. A home in Heaven

4. Friends who love me

5. A nice home

6. A great college

7. A brother and sister and sister in law who are absolutely the BEST! I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world!

8. The best job ever!

9. A great boss

10. Extended family that I enjoy spending time with

11. A life worth living

12. Our military! And of course, you Chris! You’re my favorite Navy friend! :)

Those were all serious…..now to the little things that I enjoy!

1. Rain

2. Comfy pj’s

3. The good feeling I get after I have been to the gym

4. Sleeping in on a Saturday (you have to understand that sleeping in to me means 7:00-I usually get up at 4:45 every morning!)

5. Spending time just talking to friends.

6. Watching a good movie (I am a sucker for tear-jerkers. If you haven’t seen Facing the Giants, you have to! It’s my new favorite movie!)

7. A good song

8. Thunder and Lightening

9. Family vacations (Oh boy do I have some stories there!)

10. A warm blanket on a cold night

11. The feeling that I have worked hard at something and succeeded

12. Laughing (that is a BIG one. I love to laugh!)

13. The smell of fresh-cut grass

14. The warm glow of the summer sun

15. A night at the ballpark with my dad

16. The drive down to the ballpark with my dad (Yes I’m a daddy’s girl. I love spending time with him!)

17. Shopping!

18. With my mom! (It’s the best!)

19. Cool water

20. Swimming (I LOVE to swim! I grew up practically on the beach!)

21. My brown polo shirt, khaki shorts, and flip-flops

22. A good joke (once again, back to laughing! :) )

23. Talking (Okay so I admit it-I’m just a normal girl who loves to talk!)

24. Listening (Really. I am good at listening to other people. I love helping people with their problems.)

25. May 25th! (I think a few of you know why :) )

26. 6:00 pm on Fridays! (That’s when I go home!)

27. A night spent at home with nothing to do.

28. Writing (I am a writer and I love writing things about people I love or situations I’ve been in. Just ask me sometime and I’ll send you some of my work!)

29. Playing sports (I played sports all throughout high school and I still enjoy going out and playing them!)

30. Meeting new people!

Some may say I have a boring life, but I love my life! I wouldn’t trade the places, people, or circumstances of my life for ANYTHING! I am just so happy with where God has brought me and what He has given me.
