10 things that make me smile!

My mom challenged me this week to make a list of 10 things that make me smile. I think I was giving off a serious feeling sorry for myself vibe. I was feeling too sorry for myself that night to do but I think now I'm good to be positive! So, in no particular order... 10 things that make me smile:
1) My wonderful husband- his cuddles and his silly jokes. He makes me laugh so many times a day. He is so positive and so unique and so perfect for me.
2) Mexican food. In particular, the creamy jalapeno dip at Chuy's, our favorite restaurant. Seriously, it's awesome. I'm going to limit myself to only one of ten about food so I don't seem like a glutton but I could seriously list like 15 foods that make me smile. But that'd be sad so I'll just have one.
3) My puppy. She's so funny and so cute. Today she was playing this game where she tried to sneak up on her zebra stuffed toy- hysterical.
4) My family- my parents are wonderful and so supportive and so much fun. Like I said, not in order. I do love my parents more than creamy jalapeno dip, I promise. But really they are the best parents ever. I'm very lucky.
5) Friends. I don't mean the people I hang out with- I mean Joey, Chandler, Ross, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe. Seriously there is not a tough time in my life they haven't gotten me through.
6) Teaching- well, sometimes. I had this one awesome class this year. This kid in it Harley made me laugh every day. Every day he'd say 'this is ridonculous' about something. (that wasn't a typo- he doesn't say ridiculous- he says 'ridonculous') Goofy 14 year olds make me smile!
7) My brother. He's hysterical, in this dry sense of humor sort of way. When he comes home, he makes fun of all the quirky things my parents do. it's awesome. except he's less funny now when he brings his girlfriend home but then he's super happy and sweet and that makes me smile too.
8) Bethel- so my parents are building a mansion and it's pretty awesome. I smile thinking about hanging out there. Ok, it's a bit materialistic to be happy about the mansion but I see our future there. Babies messing up the house and driving my dad crazy. So it's not just the opulent mansion but the promise of what will be there.
9) My principal at my school. I think I have a girl crush on her. She's awesome. Feeling pathetically sad about not seeing her for 2 months. And not just her- all my colleagues are awesome. They are really really funny and they make my job really funny.
10) Wedding pictures. Our wedding was perfect and looking at the pictures remind me of how wonderful it was and how happy I am that I married Al. Plus, I was really hot on my wedding day and that makes me smile too!

OMG- a whole post that didn't mention my ovaries or uterus or my crazy overanalysing my body- can you believe it? Oops, that kinda ruined it. Better go before I start complaining about how the two week wait feels like 15 years...
