Top Ten Things that Make Me Smile

1. Caleb

Man, that's one cute kid! Yes. I'm his mom, so I'm biased. Seriously, though. That's one cute kid! Plus, he's super funny and sweet spirited. He's a wonderful little man.









2. My hubby

This is one good lookin', godly man. He makes me smile for lots of reasons, but mostly because he knows me so well. If he stopped at any restaurant we like, he could order for me. If he saw a top at the mall, he'd know whether I'd like it or not. Books, music, movies, he knows it all!




3. God's faithfulness
I blogged about how God's provided for us financially since the Hubby was laid off in February. Many things could be added to this post. It's amazing to know you're loved and cared for by the God of the universe. "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31 ESV)

4. My parents
They're just a bunch of funny people. Yes. I have a bunch of parents. Both of my original parents are divorced and remarried, and so are my hubby's. That makes a large bunch of amazing and quite wonderful people. 


5. Wendy's Frosties

Only the chocolate ones, though. I'm sure they aren't the healthiest of treats in the world, but they sure are yummy. My hubby only allots me a Jr. Chocolate Frosty once in a blue moon, but I get real excited when I see a blue moon. (I think today should be a blue moon day.)








6. Superhero Movies

I get really, really excited to watch trailers for superhero movies. Sometimes I think I'm convinced it's all real and that when the movie's over I can kick all the bad guys' butts and still look great in spandex. My personal fave, at least for now: Iron Man. I think that's only because I haven't seen Thor yet. (P.S. My hubby dressed as Tony Stark last year for Halloween. He was hot!)

7.  Anything Jane Austen

Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy

Yep, if I'm not reading her, I'm watching some remake of her novels. She's just that awesome. Trust me.

8. Hijacking friends' iPhones

I'm notorious for this. If you have an iPhone, and you're my friend, you have three options. 1. Trust me with your phone and know that I wear a halo and a sparkly smile. 2. Password protect it. 3. Don't leave your phone unattended. (Don't fret. I'm not clever enough to do any damage. I can only text people inappropriate messages and change your FB status.)

9. Chewy and Sophie

They are by far the sweetest and smartest dogs I know, and they're stinkin' cute. I love them so much. It's going to be a rough time when one of them "kicks the crate".

10. Early, early morning time alone

Planning for this means going to bed early, so it doesn't happen often. However, it is a sweet time. It's still dark out. No one's up but Sophie and me. Make some coffee. Grab my bag o' goodies and my snuggie. (Don't judge me.) Curl up on the sofa with my Bible, iPod or hymnal, my journal, and Sophie. It's such an amazing thing to think the God of the universe meets with me at these times in His Word and in prayer. You'd think I'd go to bed earlier more often.

These are the things I think of when I want to smile. What comes to your mind?
