Day 17 - Picture time!

Day 17 - Post a favorite picture of yourself

This picture is from my MBA graduation, taken by a good friend while we were all lining up to walk out into the Reynolds Center at TU.  I really like this picture because it's one of the few that actually show my fun "hood" that you get as a graduate student :)  It was pretty candid as I wasn't expecting her to snap this photo.  I remember that I was full of hope and had the real world waiting on the other side of the stage after I walked across and shook Stead's hand.  And it's one of the few that I have of the graduation and the time before because I lost all my pictures when my computer was stolen that following summer.....so thanks Jessika!! :)

Day 14 - Things that make me happy

Just a day late - it's been hard to get some good blogging time in Chicago ;)

It was so hard to narrow this list down to just 10!! I'm a believer that its the little things that make the world go round, so there are many many things that could be on this list. Without further ado, here are some of the things that make me happy :)

1) family

My family at my MBA graduation in 2009

2) friends

Some KD sisters at a TU game

My childhood friends before "Wicked" the musical

3) love

My honey

4) addie

5) amelia

What a cute puppy!!!

She's afraid of my camera....

6) baking - I have a bad sweet tooth :)

7) hugs - those really tight ones that you get from people you haven't seen in a while...the ones that say they care about you and just make you feel special

8) sunshine, especially after a span of cloudy days or the first few days after daylight savings time has changed and it feels like spring

9) being a beach bum - there's something so relaxing about sitting on the beach and just taking in the ocean and the wind and the sunshine and reading a book

10) fall - I love the changing color of the leaves, the cooler temperatures, my birthday ;), football, and the anticipation of all the holidays down the road
