Today is a great Wednesday, as tomorrow is a public holiday here tomorrow so now work for me! YAY

If only I had friday off as well... oh well I'll take what I can get!

This week I would like to introduce you all to Emily from Free House!

10 Things that make Emily happy!!

There are so many things in life that make me happy but if I had to narrow it down to ten it would look like this...

1. My Husband - I feel like John has been a part of my life forever. He is my best friend. It is because of his attitude and view on life that I chose to cherish each day. He makes me a better person and more aware of the person I long to become. Plus he's smokin' hot.
2. My Sisters - I have the most precious little sisters. Erin is 18 and Grace is 11. Laughing until we cry is a specialty of ours.
3. My Mom and Dad - They are some of my best friends and I love being around them .
4. Italian Food - I could eat Italian food every day. I'm not sure what it is specifically that makes me so in love. I love a good pasta sauce. Not to mention that I love the culture. Someday I'll take a trip to Italy and I'll eat all day long.
5. Fall Weather - I live in Indiana. I know that for most people the thought of fall in Indiana doesn't exactly evoke images of great beauty. Obviously you haven't driven down a country road in the fall. The leaves are beautiful colors, the corn fields are turning a golden hue and the sky is so bright and blue you MUST wear sunglasses.
6. Mint - I love it in tea, water, gum. Mojitos are my favorite drink and if I had a mint plant in my home I would chew on mint leaves all day long.
7. A Really Good Book - I love authors like Jodi Picoult, Jaquelyn Mitchard, Michelle Richmond, Elizabeth Flock and Alice Seabold. They have an amazing gift for transporting you. I love staying up late at night while John is asleep and crying to a good book, dreaming of the characters who turned into my friends and wishing for a sequel.
8. Candles - I have about 7 in my tiny apartment living room. And they all smell different. Some of them are floral and some of them smell like spices. And on occasion I will burn them all at once...
9. Law and Order SVU - This is the only show that I can watch all day long. I will watch re-run after re-run.
10. Inspirational Quote Books - John and I love to window shop at a store called Z Gallery. They have a great section with coffee table books. Alot of these books have inspirational quotes. I would buy all of them if I could. Instead I just buy one at a time. One of my favorite quotes from my favorite book is the following...

Normal Day, let me be aware of the treasure that you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in the quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow."

- Mary Jean Irion

So go enjoy YOUR favorite 10 Things. Go enjoy your normal day and make it the best day yet.

Thanks for letting me share, Jess!

Welcome to another 10 Simple Things!

This week I would like to introduce you all to...
Elizabeth & her blog Iz Originals

Iz Originals

10 Things that make Elizabeth happy!!!

1. Yoga: I love getting up early and having a chance to do it on the beach.
2. Travelling: Getting ready for a big trip when all that excitement builds and builds.
3. Creating: I love making anything with my hands. Baking, sewing, painting, playing in clay. You name it, if it gets my hands dirty, it makes me happy.
4. Walking in freshly cut grass.
5. New blogger friends: I don't have a lot but i am loving 'meeting' people all over the country and the world who are interested in similar things as I am!
6. Roller coasters: I love the thrill and excitement from them. The knots in your stomach as you climb up, up, and the release from the fall.
7. Cooking: A delicious handmade meal to share with family and friends. I love creating great memories over bottles of wine and long evenings that last well into the night.
8. Getting to see my huddy at the end of a long day.
9. Steaming hot cups of hot chocolate: it doesn't matter how old your are, nothing ever tastes better than hot chocolate on a cool/cold day. Makes you feel like you're 5 again.
10. Large friendly dogs that really think they're lap dogs! Growing up with large dogs, it just seems natural to me that a 100 pound dog would want to sit in your lap as much as a 10 pound dog.

Music Monday!

This Week's song...

Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield

Since Natasha released this song I have always loved it!

I first heard it on the movie 'The Ugly Truth'

And then the other night Lisa showed me a clip from the movie 'Easy A'

Tonight while I was thinking of which song would be my song for the week,

This one came to mind, 

I then watched the clip and it totally fits my week!

When ever something this week is getting me down or frustrated, 

I'm just going to think of this song!

I can't help but want to sing and dance to this song.

It makes me smile!

We will always remember...

10 Years ago today,

The world changed.

We all changed

No matter where you live in the world,

9/11 effected each and every one of you.

Many people lost their lives on this day 10 years ago

Every day since,

Hundreds and thousands of amazing men and women,

Have put their lives on the line,

To fight against terrorism,

And fight for freedom.

Thank you for all those men and women,

We are all grateful for your strength and sacrifices.
For those who have lost their lives during the fight.
You will always be in our hearts.

For those who have lost loved ones,

You are in our prayers,

For those lost on that horrible day,
We will always remember you.

We will never forget how these events have changed our lives.

How has these events changed your life?

I want my life to be one of faith and hope,

I want to ensure that I am putting what is really important first in life.

My family.
I am grateful for the gospel, and that my family is for eternity.

Rediscovered Love...

I have fallen back in love with my curly hair!

My hair is high maintenance!

To keep my curls looking good,

It takes a lot of work, products and money!

BUT...

The end product is so worth it!

I LOVE MY CURLS!!!
