1. My family. My parents are my heroes. I am so grateful for the person they raised me to be. They are the best people I know and the very BEST parents I could ever ask for. They give so much to trevor and me and noah. :) And of course my amazing sister. She is one of my very best friends, and the older we get the closer we get and I love it. She saves me when she comes over to visit! :)
2. My DVR. Pathetic as it may be, I love that i can record all my favorite shows and then watch them on my own time and fast forward through the commercials. I don't have time to watch them on their time, and I sure as heck can't miss them (THE HILLS, NCIS, SVU, SECRET LIFE, OTH, GOSSIP GIRL....the list goes on haha)
3. The quiet time after Noah goes to sleep. It is so rare to have peace and quiet, I appreciate it so much more.
4. Pictures. I love that I can capture all my favorite moments and then relive them later. :)
5. Noah's sweet smile. My little boy is my whole world. It is amazing how fast everything changes once that tiny baby is placed in your arms. I forget all the hard and stressful times when Noah smiles at me. He is so beautiful.
6. My marriage. I couldn't get through the day without my husband by my side. I cannot imagine taking care of Noah alone. I look up to anyone who can raise a baby by themselves-you are truly amazing and the best parents. Without Trev I would be a crazy woman!
7. Sunshine. I love days that the sun is shining and I can open my windows and feel the warm breeze. It seriously makes me heart happy!
8. Listening to my old mix cds! With every song that plays I think of an old memory. I love thinking about where I have been and what I have learned, the friends I have made and the people I have grown apart from. I love finding new songs I love too! Music makes me happy.
9. Sleep. I never knew how much I would literally crave sleep until I had a baby. :) I would choose sleep over everything nowadays!
10. Simple Things that INSPIRE me.
