This is my take on Family Guy’s “What Really Grinds My Gears”

Instead of things that “grind my gears,” I have decided on things that make happy.
Why focus on the negative, right?!

Like a lot of things make me happy, but we all have those few things, that just make us ecstatic..
That’s what this is. So enjoy!

1) My friends..sounds cliche, I know. But seriously, if you had the friends I did, then you would understand. We may all be in Texas, Florida, and Arkansas now, but honestly, it’s strengthened us. We are still as close as we have ever been, and I know that it won’t go away anytime soon. Plus it’s just an excuse for a roadtrip!

^Brittni (with the basketball) moved back to Texas for the year, and Whitney is now in Sarasota, FL for 24/7. I know that the Lord has amazing plans for these two, and I am excited to see what the next year holds for them.

2) University of Michigan

^Student Union and Michigan Stadium…nothing better

3) East Coast

^Baltimore

There is just something about the East Coast that intrigues me. Something about major cities on the river or the harbor on the east coast, I just love! Especially from Washington D.C. all the way up north. Washington D.C. (where I always thought would be really cool to work), Baltimore (just a train ride from Washington), New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and of course, New England in the fall…what intrigues me so much about that area? I don’t know, but one day, I will go visit all of it. So far just Washington D.C. and New York City (twice, and maybe again next year!)

4) Birthday Parties

cake, candles, friends, and birthday gifts…enough said

5) Fingernail Polish

I love all colors. Another one of those things that I don’t know why but it makes me so happy. I love having my nails painted at all times, and there is nothing I enjoy more than changing the colors at least once, sometimes twice, a week…it’s like an addiction (kinda)

6) Kashi

I mean, really, Kashi can not go wrong. Strawberry Fields Cereal, Golden Brown Maple Heart to Heart Oatmeal, Pumpkin Spice Flax TLC cruncy granola bars, Cherry Dark Chocolate TLC chewy granola bars, and the Honey Sesame TLC Crackers. I haven’t tried the frozen meals or the waffles yet, but I will one day.

7) Traveling

Yeah it is absolutely insane to travel right now. But who cares. Isn’t that part of the fun? The business, the hustle, are you or are you not going to make your flight?, the people you meet, the experiences, the memories, the cultures, the different airports and cities. i LOVE airports. They each hold something different unique. Traveling is such a learning experience

That’s all I have for now.
This post made me extremely happy.
So I will leave you with an Olympic photo
