Simple Pleasures

Maybe it means that I am simple minded... but it really doesn't take that much to make me happy. I love laying in bed and listening to Raleigh breathe. It is rhythmic, and soft and makes me feel so safe. I think my Best Buy Coat is one of my greatest treasures. It's horribly ugly but it keeps me so warm all day long and it has my name on it. I could literally wear my yoga pants all day, every day. I wish I could wear them to church. They are magnificent.

I realized that it is the simple pleasures in life that make me smile everyday. How can you not love things that make you smile?

And so......... I celebrate you.......

Diet Coke in a frozen BYU mug. Your frosty deliciousness nearly makes me weep. Ner'y a day goes by that you don't increase my endorphins with your bubbly effervescence

I celebrate you...Ipods in general.
But specifically, Morgan's green Ipod which contains every Justin Bieber song known to man and since she knows exactly where you keep it and can turn it on and can miraculously get to playlist Number 3 every single time..... Sissy can enjoy hours and hours (and by hours, I really mean about 23 minutes) of danceable entertainment that allows mom to get the dishes done.

I celebrate you... basement that by some unrecognizable force has managed to stay clean since the Superbowl Party. I love you with your dark warmth in the winter and your refreshing coolness in the summer and your willingness to keep teenagers and all their stinky friends busy and happy and away from the upstairs area altogether.

I celebrate you, Finesse Shampoo and Conditioner...
The shampoo of my teen age years. I am so happy Walmart has seen fit to bring you back into my life. I love the memories of Depeche Mode concerts, getting ready for Stake Dances at Wendy's house and getting cleaned up after a day at Laguna Beach that you bring to me with each and every use.

I celebrate you... blue eyes. That I pray daily will not change to brown. So that I can say that one of these babies got something from me.

I celebrate you Spring...
And snow melt.
And afternoon walks with TWO babies in my double jogging stroller.
And open doors airing out all of the sick germs of Wintertime illnesses that WILL BE a thing of the past... Right Raleigh???? No more sickness?

I celebrate you.... My new IPad.... That I LOVE!! With my scripture app. That makes them not only easier to read, but way more fun and informative. And my stake directory that is now at my fingertips. And as soon as I can figure out how to add them by myself.... many more life improving apps to follow.
I celebrate you.... athletic husband. Who invites me to go and watch you play each and every sport. And I think that you are so HOT. And I am so proud to be your wife. And I sure do love your toned up, sportsy body. YUMMERS.

In conclusion, I celebrate the simple things in life.
For in simple pleasures we find great happiness.
