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

Yesterday I smiled a lot! The girls at work were cracking hilarious jokes left and right and we just really had a great time.

Then, I went to Tim’s house last night and we watched American Idol. Between Simon’s priceless facial expressions and Tim tickling me, I couldn’t stop laughing! haha.

Today, ok this sounds really redneckish:P haha…I didn’t have a sled but I wanted to try sledding down the hill since I haven’t done that in forever…So, since my dad had some appliance parts stashed away I took one of the spare dryer doors and used to to sled down the hill. It doesn’t work too well honestly, but it was a very comical effort and I laughed histerically.

Ok, so I have been slacking!

Today I was organizing my pictures and I ran across this one of myself from 2002. I couldn’t help but smile…you would have to know the whole story behind it to understand. You see, this picture was shown to my fiance back in 2002. My cousin went to school with him and had tried to hook us up so she showed him the picture. Well, apparently he thought I was beautiful so my cousin introduced us at the county fair. Sadly, I was not interested in him at that time..at all. hahaha. And then, in 2005 we started working together…and now look at us! The guy I completely brushed off that night at the fair is now the guy that I could never live without!

Well, lots of things made me smile today:P

I got a bonus Valentine’s Day present today…a box of the most delicious candy! Yum! I shared with his mama and we marvelled in our chocolate bliss. haha.

I came across reassuring information that laid a massive, heart wrenching worry to rest…A huge smile and sigh of relief accompanied my excitement…

I received the sweetest e-mail ever today from a friend telling me how wonderful our friendship is and how I am their best friend. It made my eyes tear up it was just so sweet! Definately smiled a lot while reading it…

Tim’s humor was in rare form today and he had me laughing histerically every time I turned around! haha.

Also, a friend of mine finally asked his g/f to marry him. She said yes obviously…and she came to show me her ring and she was just glowing with excitement! Of course I was super excited for her too!

Ok, so for yesterday:

Tim came over to see me, even though the roads were incredibly icy! So sweet of him! And then he was running on the ice and sliding really far…he’s so cute and hilarious!

For today:

My cousin’s husband has some pics posted of their twins(a boy and a girl) on his myspace. Well, I left a comment on this one pic about how cute his little butt was sticking up in the air. Today I talked to my cousin on the phone and found out that that wasn’t their son, it was her husband when he was a baby! They look THAT much alike! haha. I felt like such a retard, but it was hilarious!

I’m already a naturally happy person 95% of the time, but I think this will encourage me to appreciate all of the good things in my life even more!

Well, nothing has happened yet since I just woke up about an hour ago. haha. Although, earlier I was looking at the creek behind our house and admiring how beautiful it is right now. We just got a lot of sleet and snow so everything is white and the creek is frozen. A little urge of excitement surged through me and I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to play on the ice today!’ I’ll do that before the day is over!

What a wonderful way to document the year gone by… I will be able to look back and see that every day, for 365 days, I had a reason to smile. =)

I suppose this is day one! =) Here goes:

I helped my children set up a “slumber party” (complete with games, movies, treats, etc.). They had so much fun, and fell asleep happy. Even though we’ve all been ill recently it was a delightful Friday evening. =)
