because i'm HAPPY!

A month and a half into the new year and I've been reflecting on how much i have to be thankful for, even though 2015 was certainly one for the record books in terms of random crappiness. I like to be happy and positive and always try to stay positive. so in no particular order, some things that bring me joy and make me happy:
  • My Husband - after nearly 12 wild and crazy years with the love of my life and best friend, we finally tied the knot this year. I am thankful for his unending love and always making me laugh. He keeps me grounded and our ability to work together as a team when the going gets tough is something i am thankful for.
  • My job - i love coming to work every single day. I can't believe I've worked here for nearly 2 years and still love it just as much as i did day 1. I also am thankful for my great coworkers.
  • Kayaking - we just took it up last year and I love it. It's the perfect way to relax and unwind. Plus, it's something the husband and i can do together and it doesn't matter he is much stronger/more athletic than i am.
  • My family - both blood and inherited, i have some pretty awesome relatives. I am thankful to have supportive parents, an awesome sister, fantastic cousins and great in-law relatives.
  • My dogs - even when they are being bad, they make me smile. They are the best snugglers when you are feeling down or sick (like i was for 2 weeks with an epic cold). 
  • My Friends - I am lucky to have some really amazing friends who have stood by me and also Matt during all the ups and downs and twists and turns the past 1-2 years have dealt us. From bringing coffee and cell phone chargers to the hospital, to random dinners just because, to sending me texts just to check on me, I am a lucky girl to have such great friends.
  • Sheets - i ordered these new plush sheets from qvc this fall and i love them. i get excited to crawl into bed every night.
  • Neighbors - we are fortunate to have some really awesome neighbors who have become friends. we know we can always ask each other for help whether shoveling snow or doing their kids hair for school pictures or taking care of my dogs. 
It's good to be happy and positive. I always try to remind myself that my life is pretty fantastic, even on a crappy day. Happy Friday!
