The simple things that make me happy

Today I was thinking about the simple things in my life that make me happy. Some of them are things that didn't affect me before I got married and had a home of my own and some of them are just random.
  • When Scott come home from work at night.
  • Driving down Cedar Hills Dr. in Price and seeing the beautiful view, it looks like the mountains in southern Utah, I feel like I'm living in a national park.
  • The time after I've exercised when I know that it's done for the day and I don't have to worry about it
  • Having a church practically in my backyard, and knowing no matter where I go the church is the same and having the network of people.
  • Having my cute father-in-law comment on my blog. (If you haven't met him, you're missing out, he's amazing!)
  • Seeing that boneless, skinless chicken breasts are on sale at Smith's for 1.59/lb.
  • Getting a random hug from my brother when we go to my parents. (If you haven't met him, you're missing out, he's pretty cool!)
  • Being able to do laundry whenenver I want without having to take it at my parents.
  • Having a toilet that works. (Scott and I haven't had good experiences with toilets since we've been married, but we finally have a great toilet.)
  • Having dinner done and the dishes done.
  • Going to my parents, seeing Cosmo in the window and seeing how excited he is to see me. Then having him follow me around everywhere wanting to get loves.
  • Seeing little kids and getting excited about being able to have a baby one day that will be half of me and half of Scott. I can't wait to see what they're like!
  • Getting a random call from my mom to see how I'm doing.
  • Being able to fall asleep next to my best friend every night.
  • Seeing two wonderful teenage girls (my beautiful nieces) meet another girl around their age and take that girl under their wing, to make her feel comfortable and welcome. That not only makes me happy but it makes me extremely proud.
  • Watching my dad chatting with my nephew Andrew (from Scott's side) and knowing that he's trying to get used to having a little boy coming into our family. I think he's really excited to have a grandson with the Marks name and it's been a long time since we've had a baby boy in the family.
  • Watching The Office with my family, and quoting it whenever we're together.
  • Putting a bunch of ingredients together and making something tasty out of it.
  • Looking at the slideshow on the blog and thinking about the journey that Scott and I have gone through since we met.
  • Having a clean house and clean laundry.
  • Hearing from friends that I haven't been in contact with in a long time.
  • Blogging, looking at other's blogs and getting comments on post. :)

Okay I'm upset now.......Kevins dad hasn't posted on our blog (MY face is scowling right now) Aside from that, I enjoyed the list and thanks for the music, I love listening to David Archeleta, what a great singer!

I LOVE that you are at a point in your life when a sale on boneless, skinless chicken breasts makes you happy.
THAT is classic.

You make me happy...just for the record.
