<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is my 27th birthday. I think the older you get, the faster time flies by. Especially when you start watching your own kids grow.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyways, I always try to stay positive when my birthday comes around. I’ve got a lot to be thankful for, so why should another year make me sad? I decided to compile a list of 27 things that make me happy:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

1. Catching a great smile from my kids on camera. Sadly, this doesn’t happen often enough.<\/p>\n

2. The song Sideways, by Dierks Bentley + the fact that Lilah calls it by name within the first few beats.<\/div>\n
3. The BBQ grill. It can make anything taste good. And how fun is it to hang out on the deck while your man is cooking you dinner?<\/div>\n
4. Diet coke.<\/div>\n
5. My big, gigantic king-size bed. I love being a grown-up and having such a great place to rest.<\/div>\n
6. The three days in July each year when I get to be three years younger than my husband.<\/div>\n
7. Etsy.com<\/div>\n
8. Jumping in my car and being just minutes away from the home I grew up in. Feels so right.<\/div>\n
9. Lynchberg Lemonade.\u00a0<\/div>\n
10. The notes my husband leaves me on the counter in the morning before I even wake up. Simple and sweet.<\/p>\n
11. Lakes. Swimming, boating, skiing, floating, etc. Such a great way to spend some downtime. Water is so soothing.<\/div>\n
12. The fact that my husband and I share a dream of living on a lake someday.<\/div>\n
13. Stationary. Love the tradition of handwriting notes on beautiful paper. Makes me sad that it is a lost art.<\/div>\n
14. Medium-sized styrofoam Sonic cups. Perfect for a wide range of drinks (see #4 and #9). They don’t sweat all over the table + they keep my drink super cold.<\/div>\n
15. Sunflower seeds – a lifelong weakness. When we were kids, my brother used to tell me that I’d never find a husband because of all the sunflower seed chewing\/spitting I used to do. Good thing he was wrong!\u00a0<\/div>\n
16. Dropping my kiddos off to daycare at their Aunt Jenny’s. They love it and I know she loves them. What a blessing. (Hope she feels the same way!)<\/div>\n
17. My Mac<\/a>. When it’s behaving.<\/div>\n
18. A good sunburn. I know that one’s kinda weird, but I just love the way you feel after a day in the sun. Isn’t there a vitamin you get from the sun? Vitamin K or something? Maybe they named that after me \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
19. Fabric stores. I love all the colors and textures in rows and piles. I could shop all day. Usually buy some just for the hell of it. Leaving me with stacks of fabric at home and no time to do anything with it.<\/div>\n
20. The feeling after a good workout. Or even a not-so-good workout. When have you ever left the gym and thought “man, I wish I hadn’t done that”?<\/div>\n
21. The blue eyes that my husband has, and my children have inherited. (It’s why I married him.)<\/div>\n
22. The hot dog dance<\/a>. If you know what this is, you would get along with my daughter. And when Lilah’s happy, I’m happy.<\/div>\n
23. A Lot Like Love.<\/a> Or any good romantic film. But this one in particular always leaves me with a smile.<\/div>\n
24. The way that Graham’s smile gradually appears on his face. I love the transition. Seems so honest.<\/div>\n
25. Bud Lime<\/div>\n
26. Traditions. For instance, my family’s annual trip to Beaver Lake. Bunco on the second Tuesday of every month. Grey’s Anatomy every Thursday night with my friend, Linds. Burger Binge at work<\/a> every Wednesday at lunch. There is something about that predictability and commitment that feels so reassuring.\u00a0<\/div>\n
27. And of course, this blog! A great place for me to air my thoughts and feel like somebody’s listening. Thanks!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hope something on that list left you with a smile!\u00a0<\/div>\n
