when i was in college i had a "happy book" where i wrote down each day things that made me happy. it helped me to recognize the small and simple things that bring happiness. the other day i was thinking about how happy i am and it reminded me of my "happy book." so here is a "virtual" entry in my "happy book."
- free day at the botanic gardens with my parents
- country music videos
- dancing in the kitchen with dave
- costco samples
- a clean house
- being a member of relief society
- the change of seasons and changing leaves
- good girlfriends (and in this case a movie night to see "julie and julia" followed by delicious crepes)
- working out with my hubby (p90x is killer)
- longer nights of sleep (thank you logan)
- people magazine
- logan's smiles
- falling asleep next to dave
- laughing cow spreadable cheese (a sister missionary on my mission introduced me to it and i just rediscovered it. but from now on i can only discover it when it's on sale)
- snuggling my baby
- reading a good book
- dave's cologne
- foggy days
- general conference and knowing we have a living, latter-day prophet
- living close to family
- appreciation from dave
- smelly candles
- pedicures with mindy (anything with mindy actually)
- how logan is a "mini dave"
- nutella and peanut butter (yes, i eat them together by the spoonful. i discovered this combo after our crepe night when some leftover nutella found its way back to my house. not my healthiest habit. which is why i don't let myself keep nutella in the house anymore)
- uggs
- getting to spend all day long with this guy
- my iPhone
- comfy pants
- time together with old friends
- reading blogs
- when dave gets home from work

You better be careful - someone might think you love your husband and son. Oh wait... ;o)
steph, why in the world are we still not close close friends? as i read your happy post, i realized how alike we still are. can we please be friends again? :)
This is a great post. I ought to keep a list like that, just to keep the right perspective and remember all my blessings - big and little.
Logan is looking so big now. I love that little grin.
Amen to comfy pants. Recently mine wore out and got a little rip right on the bum. I've kept wearing them and now it's a HUGE rip. I just can't give them up.
Ahhh!! I love to do anything with YOU too! Especially when it involves pedicures and no kids! YEAH!
