26 Reasons Why I Love My Life.

Today, being my 26th birthday (Yes, I'm old!), I decided to do a blog post giving 26 reasons why I love my life. So much has happened the past year, and I love where I am. I feel so blessed. I'm glad I'm 26!

1. My wonderful, amazing, smart, handsome, hard-working, romantic, fun, responsible husband, Brenton. He is my best friend. I love seeing him every day and treasure every moment we spend together.
2. Bryson! My baby boy is getting so big. He doesn't look like a little baby anymore, but a big boy. I love being with him every day and watching him change so much. He has changed my world, completely for the better.
3. My mom and my dad.. They are the best. They are my wonderful support system back home.
4. The rest of my family. I love them all for all different reasons. My brothers are fun. My sisters-in-law are so great, and my nephews are adorable. I miss them all!
5. Arizona. Being away is tough, but I look forward to the day we shall be back in the valley of the sun! Only 9 more months!
6. Baby Einstein. Seriously, it's awesome. I know the movies and music like the back of my hand. Bryson loves them too.
7. Hartley. Having a best friend for like 13 years is a long time. Although we don't get to talk all the time, when we do, it feels just like it always has!
8. Sleep. I love sleep. I cannot deny it. Naps count too. They make me happy.
9. Musicals. I cannot wait to go see WICKED in April. Awesome!
10. Ice cream.
11. Chocolate.
12. Reality shows. I know, I'm addicted. I love a ton of them, and they are involved in my life on an almost daily basis. Jon and Kate Plus 8, The Bachelor, 18 kids and Counting, Real World, The Tool Academy, The City, American Idol, The Biggest Loser, I'm addicted to them all.
13. High School Musical- all 3. I love these shows. They are so cute! I watch them often.
14. Friends! I have good friends, in AZ and UT.
15. Cows. My kitchen is in black and white. I have lots of stuffed animal cows that are in the closet right now since we have no room for them.
16. Music. I like most music of most types. Classical, Musical, Country, Rock, Pop, Christian, LDS, etc. My mood determines my choice of music. Other times my choice of music determines my mood.
17. Movies. I love movies. I like to watch them all the time. Especially romantic comedies. Dramas are good too. Most of the time I'll watch anything, I'm not picky.
18. My religion/beliefs. They are mine. No one can take them from me. I'm grateful for the knowledge I have that life extends beyond death. It makes my life worth living.
19. Blogging. Honestly, this is the way I make a journal of my life! It's great. I hope I can pass it on to posterity.
20. Good food. I love food. I enjoy cooking, although I'm definitely in the learning stage.
21. Disneyland. I love that place. I have an ongoing goal of going there. I will never grow out of it. I've been many times, but will never tire of it.
22. An Apt. in the Ghetto. Ok, so it's not completely ghetto, but I love this chance. In a few years it'll be nice to look back and see where we were, and how far we've come. Besides, it makes us stay so close as a family.
23. The Sun. I love it when the sun comes out. I miss it here during Provo winters. I love spring and summer. Bring on the heat!
24. An Education. Although I don't use my education in my career right now, I am grateful for it. I majored in Political Science at ASU. I'll forever love what I learned, and how hard it was. I learned so much, and that can't be taken from me.
25. Good books. I read the Twilight Series and loved them. I'm reading Jon and Kate Gosselin's book MULTIPLE BLESSINGS right now. Plus, I love reading the Book of Mormon, Bible, and other scriptures.
26. Heavenly Father. Having someone that knows me better than I know myself, and is always there for me, no matter the mistakes I make! To know I'm loved, no matter what.
