Things That Make Me Happy
There are several things that make me happy. Some are big things, some are small things but each of them just make my heart flutter.
* Home improvements. Since Chuck and I decided to stay where we are and fix it up, we have been talking about what we can do to make it look nicer and work better for us. First on the list was to rip up the carpeting in the kids’ bathroom and redo that room. It is tiny so it shouldn’t take long. We are planning on just a few things in there since we already painted it and replaced the towel holders, toilet paper holders, etc. We are going to put in a tile floor, whether it is vinyl tile or ceramic tile. We haven’t really decided yet. However, the most exciting part of all of this for me?….the trips to the home improvement stores!! I love going there…it’s at the top of my list of favorite stores!
* Halloween. I know it is over today but I love this holiday. I used to really get into it but I didn’t get to this year. Chuck couldnt’ find the one bin of Halloween stuff I have so I didn’t get to go all out as usual. The kids had a great time trick or treating. They got lotsof yummy candy that I will try my hardest not to eat a lot of.
* Holiday shopping. I have begun my Christmas shopping and I am done with the gifts for Lincoln. Halfway done with the older two kids and working on my shopping for Chuck. We are doing a kids gift exchange for his family again so I will be drawing names soon for that and I will shop for those two gifts. I have a great head start this year and I hope to be done by mid December…the outlook is good on this one!
* NYC I am beyond excited for my trip to NYC. I am hoping to see some of the sights that are famous and I am really going along for the ride with everyone else. I am not planning on doing a lot of shopping because I know how expensive NYC is. I would like to go to Tiffanys and American Girl but we’ll see where we end up!
*Family. We have been spending a lot of time together as a family which is always special for us. Since football ended, we’ve had lots of movie nights and days of just hanging out. The kids are thrilled and Chuck and I are enjoying the time together.
*Babies. Several people I know are pregnant. A good friend just found out that they are having a boy and my sister-in-law just told us that she is pregnant. It is all very exciting and I can’t wait to start shopping for all the bambinos!
Happiness comes in all sorts of forms for people. Life is really good right now and I am enjoying the ride. It’s always good to reflect on all the good things that are going on in your life. So…what’s making you happy today?
