a list of good things

my life is usually organized into lists. i really like making them. on valentine's day, i made a list of all of our valentine's days we've had together and what we've done--there have been four of them, imagine that! but there are a lot of things i am happy about in my simple and boring life right now. i feel very content nowadays. and this is why:

1. hitting snooze on the alarm for an hour and a half because neither tommy or i want to get up, and neither tommy or i have to get up for anything.

2. buying a pint of ben and jerry's to celebrate (instead of to make us feel better about a bad day).

3. checking things off my to-do list in a leisurely and non-stressed manner.

4. making homemade pizza (including the dough!). and having tons left over to snack on for days.

5. baking treats when we really shouldn't. and eating a whole 9x13 between the two of us. in a day and a half. wow.

6. having a date planned for a friday night.

7. lounging around in my pjs all morning (but really i am working at some points of the morning) and then exercising in the early afternoon before i head to school.

8. going to the temple with tommy and getting to look over and watch him struggle to stay awake (every time. it's very endearing).

9. looking forward to general conference this weekend and having the first session be at noon!

10. only having four weeks left of classes before the end of the semester. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

11. planning exciting plans for the summer (but i can't share them until we know about our potential job situations!). making plans ALWAYS can make me happy.

12. finding this picture on my computer:

the tanner face and i. after we went to EFY in 2004. wow, it's been a while. thank goodness i scanned this picture for all of posterity to see us looking so great.
