A Few of My Favorite Things

• White twinkle lights on pine trees in the winter covered in snow
• White twinkle lights on leafy green tree branches in the summer
• Jared hugs – he’s seriously the best hugger in the world
• And while we’re at it, Jared kisses ;)
• The walk to your car on a Friday afternoon to leave work
• Family that comes to visit during the holidays
• When said family visiting for the holidays leaves
• That moment when your newest favorite song comes on the radio as you’re driving along and you turn it up really loudly because you’re the only one in the car.
• Annie (the Golden Doodle) snuggles
• The moment you submit a giant assignment to the electronic dropbox knowing you’ve done your best
• Alex and Ani charm bracelets, especially when they’re picked out just for you by someone else
• Cute new coffee mugs
• A freshly filled water bottle with cold water (water is my favorite thing to drink…weird I know)
• Planning epic vacations and fun afternoons out
• Pho with siracha sauce and the other brownish/slightly purple sauce (I have no idea what it is called, but OMG, it’s so yummy)
• A hug from my mom – I swear I feel like I am 5 years old again (in a good safe way, not a regressed kind of way)
• Phone calls with friends who live far away
• Dark chocolate anything
• Finding a new blog that I can’t get enough of
• When my favorite blogger posts a new entry 
• The foam on top of a latte or cappuccino
