find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year

Although it almost took me a year and a half to complete it was still definitely worth it!! This has been a crazy time in my life. During this goal we bought a home, celebrated my sister’s graduation from Princeton, went to Kenya, survived mass rioting in Kenya, made some serious commitments to each other, each lost a grandma, two aunts, and welcomed a new kitty into our family. It really helped to have something to make me focus on the good things going on in troubling times.

Amazing fresh squeezed juice that J makes me almost every morning. It’s such a great pick me up sometimes I even forget my coffee. My current favorite combo is:
1 orange
3 clementines
4 strawberries

YUM!

Dinner with Nicole! She’s starting a new job so she won’t be able to come visit until this summer so it was a little bittersweet.

Going out for my friend Laura’s birthday!

I saw Tim Gunn in the flesh!!!!! Yay! He was giving kind of an educational fashion show at a mall near me. He was so great!

I’m super addicted to Etsy.com but I especially one seller. I but all of my soap from her and today I got three bars of soap that smell super yummy! Savor’s shop always has amazing things!

Tagalong Girl Scout cookie ice cream!!!!!!!!!! All I could find was a picture of the Samoa ice cream which is quite tasty as well.

Today we secretly blew off both of our families… It was amazing!!! We cleaned, went out for Chinese food, and hung out in bed a lot! It was pretty much my dream day. Happy Easter to us!

Yay!! Our home is really starting to come together. Soon we will start nailing things to the walls!
