Tag, I'm it!

My sister tagged me to name 10 things that make me happy. Here we go, in no particular order...

1. My family...I could list each of them individually but that's a short cut to 10 things so I'll lump them into one (at least my immediate family! :) ) Trey is an amazing husband, he's hard working and he loves us so much. I love watching him play with Anne Morgan. He certainly has a touch when it comes to putting her to sleep too. Anne Morgan is amazing in so many ways. She has blessed my life so much. I love watching her learn new things. Mollie and Beasley. They have added so much to my life over the years. They are always happy and there to cheer me up when I need it.

2. Living in Auburn, AL...there is so much to do in this town. Life is centered around the family and there are so many opportunities to get out and about with entertainment. Of course there are always the sporting events to go to, but there are also usually free activities to go to as well.

3. Blogs...yep! If it weren't for blogs I wouldn't be able to keep up with so many of you. I love looking at all of the pictures. I love seeing my nephews and my niece through their blogs, if I didn't get to see them on the computer it would be crazy how much they would have changed before I got to see them again. At least I can feel like I see them grow up on here. Also, I have been able to reconnect with people I haven't seen or talked to in years. So much fun! What did we do before blogs?

4. Long walks...I love walking. Soon Beasley will be back to full speed and they will be normal again. It just doesn't seem the same without him. Still, I love to load up the stroller, grab the leash and now, only sometimes, the headphones and just go. It feels so good to stretch my legs and I love to be outside. If it's sunny outside, you can forget housework getting done!

5. How close I've become with my parents...something happens when you become a parent, you get closer to your own parents. Now hardly a day goes by that I don't talk to my mom, sometimes several times a day. We used to go a lot longer between talks and/or visits. Of course it's easier now that I have been blessed enough to stay at home with my little angel.

6. My in-laws...I have the best! They are all so welcoming and make me feel like part of the family. They are family. Trey and I have been together for 11 years now. That makes me happy too. :)

7. Lake Martin...I love it! I love that my parents live there now too. I have so many memories of our summers at the lake. I love it year-round though. Once Beasley gets back to 100% we will be able to go and enjoy it more often. I can't wait to teach Anne Morgan to ski. I know I loved it growing up, I haven't done it in years but would still love to.

8. The Beach...I wasn't ever much of a beach person growing up but as I've gotten older I love it. It is so peaceful but exciting at the same time. It's always so hard to leave when we do get to go.

9. Tennis...I played tennis growing up. I went MANY years without playing though and picked it up again about two years ago. Of course I haven't really played in a year though b/c I was pregnant and now that I have a little one it's not so easy to grab the bag and hit the court. We'll get back into it soon though. Trey and I love to go play together. I can't wait to teach Anne Morgan how to do that too.

10. The idea of sleeping through the night...it hasn't happened since I was about 7 or 8 months pregnant. The handful of nights that AM has done it, I didn't. Hopefully she will get there soon. I can't wait to roll over and look at the clock to realize I slept all night!

Of course these are just a few of the things that make me happy. There are so many more but I was only asked to name 10. So now it's your turn, I tag...
