Inspired

As most of you already know by my past blogs, most of them are about my wonderful yet ornery son, Hunter; however, I've been inspired over this weekend to make a different sort of blog. My friend, Tiffany, wrote a blog of 25 things that make her happy (to read her blog just click on the link to the right) and I've decided to do the same. I feel that everyone should write down a list of all the things that make them happy because it makes all those that don't, seem not quite as bad. Some of these may be pointless to most and some may not be in any particular order and like Tiffany's do not include everything that makes me happy; nevertheless, here are 25 things that make me happy...

25. Nail Polish
24. TV
23. The internet (email, blog, etc...)
22. Medicine (without it I would have a hard time living a normal life)
21. Cell phones
20. Pop (I've now switched to Diet Dr. Pepper, trying to lose that baby weight)
19. CHOCOLATE (not really helping me lose that baby weight)
18. Getting mail that is not bills
17. World of Warcraft (it's a silly dorky game, but when you have very little money having something to play around at that isn't very expensive is a big deal)
16. Talking to my family on the phone!!!
15. The hope that one day I'll be able to do more than just talk to them on the phone
14. Hunter laughing
13. Feeding Hunter his baby food (although it can be really messy at times, and for some reason he likes to eat his toes while he eats his food???)
12. SLEEP (however little or much I get)
11. Jon & Kate plus 8 (a show on TLC about a couple that has twins and sextuplets, makes me realize that I can do it with just 1)
10. Books (whether for pleasure or informational, could not live without the baby ones!)
9. Air Conditioning
8. The smell of my mom and dad's house in the winter!
7. Movie or TV quotes
6. Friends far and near who care about me and my family
5. Having really great in-laws who truly love and care about me, Hunter, and of course Colt :)
4. My family, there are hardly words that can express how much they mean to me. I love them so much and it breaks my heart every day that I'm away from them. I hope that they know how much I love them and how much their love means to me.
3. HUNTER!!!!! I love my baby boy so much and even though there are times I get frustrated he's one of the best things in my life and by far the best thing I've ever done!
2. My husband, he puts up with me when I don't think anyone else could and can still make me laugh even when I'm in the worst mood. He gave me my son and he gives me his unconditional love every day, I am so very blessed to have him in my life.
1. The knowledge that there is a plan for me, that I may not always understand it, but God does and if I just have faith in Him, everything will work out for the best.

And of course, I had to put in a few pics of my beautiful boy!

This is a picture of his first day on earth.

This is from just a few days ago, hasn't he grown so much!?!?
