Today, I was walking to lunch from my work (Isaac had the car), and I started thinking about things that make me smile. There were some random ones, but I thought I'd share and maybe they'll make you smile too.

My little niece, Ellie

 #1. A child's smile. I can't help it. If ever a child is smiling or giggling it makes me really happy. There's something so pure and awesome about it. 

#2. Little baby semis. Seriously, every time one of these drives by I feel like I want to point and laugh at it, like you would to a bully who is not so tough now. These get me every time.

#3. Isaac cooking, mostly the action, not always the result. :) He's pretty adorable with it. Every time he tries to cook, it's like a test for him. It takes all he has to figure it out. Watching him cook, and helping him with it, makes me 1. Really grateful for a husband who is willing to try to learn new things and 2. Grateful for a mother who taught me all I ever needed to know about cooking. I feel like I took that talent for granted until I lived with Isaac. :)

#4. Obviously music has to go on here. But something that especially makes me smile is when Christine hits that crazy high note during the ultimate chorus in Phantom of the Opera. I remember many days growing up that my sister, Meagan, would play the piano, and I would sing this song with her. We'd belt it out like there was no tomorrow, basically screaming as loud as we could by the time we hit that note (with our siblings and parents yelling for us to stop in the background). Sometimes, if I'm having a stressful day, I'll pull out my Phantom soundtrack and belt it up. 


#5. What I endearingly call my "fuzzy thongs." Yes, they seem like a pointless invention (slippers without the toes covered??) But just slipping my feet into the plush, neatly trimmed fluffiness makes me feel like a queen.

And much, much more. I would add more, but right now I have a husband sitting on the couch next to me that I should get back to. Anyway, post and lemme know what random things make you smile.
