it's been quite a while since i've posted a favorite things list. and with the approach of the holiday season my mind has been heavy with gratitude. my life isn't perfect. no one's is. but i wouldn't trade my ups & downs, strifes & celebrations, trials & tribulations for anyone's. the Lord knew what he was doing when he gave me this life. so here are a few things i've been especially grateful for lately.
1. my God. do you know Him? He rocks! i owe Him every thing. i am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that knows me. i am grateful for His love & mercy. i'm grateful for this life He has given me & His plan for my existence.
2. my family. i say this every year. and they are still #2 in my book. my little men make my entire being sweet.
3. america the great. don't get me wrong. there are other fantastic countries out there, that i would love to visit. but when it comes to a permanent residence, i'm so grateful to have this as my home.
4. baking. i know your wondering why i'm grateful for something that involves physical labor. but i love baking. and i love eating baked goods. so it's a win/win. if only the Lord would bless me with a husband that enjoys eating sweets.
5. phineas & ferb. this just may be my favorite cartoon since dexter's labratory. it is pure awesomeness.
6. anthropologie dresses. i enjoy most everything about anth but i truly have an obsession with their sensibly stylish dresses.
7. pizza. i love me some pizza. lately, i just can't get enough of that dough, cheese, & pepperoni combination. my favorite pizza spots? melo's, amici's, & tomatinos. yum.
8. dr. pepper. this is an absolute essential in my life. i cannot/will not live in a world that doesn't include d.p.
9. mail. i adore mail. nothing brightens my day like getting a little note or a package delivered from my friendly postman.
10. mario kart. love playing this game with my little man during the baby's naps.
11. safeway cartoon shopping carts. i try to restrict the amount of t.v. my children are exposed to. but when it comes to grocery shopping with the least amount of fuss i am all for turning on mickey mouse clubhouse to save my sanity & the sanity of all those in the store.
12. sisters. ok, this really should be higher on the list. but i'm not re-numbering all the bullet points. i adore my sisters. they are my best friends. they inspire me, teach me, hold my hand when i'm down, & make me laugh to no end. they are amazing. i don't know who i would be without their influence
13. apple. i am addicted to their products. they are the best. hands down.
14. costco. i love a store that i can get all our household essentials, & then some, all while my children gladly sit in the cart waiting for the next free bite size snack.
15. classic cars. you may wonder why i am grateful for something that i don't even own. well, i will...one day. when i'm all grown up i will have a '69 chevy camaro. it will be metallic maroon with black racing stripes. and i will love it.
16. music. i love me some good tunes. we constantly have some form of music seeping out of our speakers.
17. modern medicane. seriously. where would i be without this one?
18. chocolate. what list of blessings is complete without mentioning the single greatest invention ever? i prefer my chocolate in the form of milkshakes, frozen hoho's, hershey bars with almonds, peanut m&m's, & of course, cake & frosting.
