1. This guy with this face.
2. Jeff. When these two see each other when Jeff gets home from work, they smile a whole lot. Love it!
3. Food. I could make a list all of its own with the individual foods that make me happy. Chocolate, good coffee, good wine, Chipotle, tacos, pizza, pastas, fruits, veggies, the list could go on.
4. Singing/Music. Love it. Lights up my life. Makes me dance. Betters my mood.
5. Satire/Sarcasm. TV shows like "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report", "MASH" make my heart happy. Truth spoken with humor and the over the top examples.
6. When the Church actually acts like Jesus. Knowing there are people out there like Jen Hatmaker (who I'm totally stoked to see in just a few days in our very own small town) and Shane Claiborne gives me hope that the Church will not fade away because it has to stick with what it's always done.
7. Family. My family, Jeff's family, our extended family. I adore my cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents. I have the best time with family!
8. Friends. I have been fortunate to have many good friends in my life. Some I see a lot. Some I see hardly at all. The best friends are the ones you can pick up with, no matter how long it's been since you've been together.
9. Royal Family Kids' Camp. This camp is for abused and neglected children and I've been privileged to be a part of it for the past 8 years (although last year I couldn't actually attend since Nathaniel was only 6 weeks old). The pure joy of loving kids who have felt so little love in their life, seeing them open up and enjoy being a kid. It is like nothing else. I cannot wait to bring Nathaniel into that this year! Just a month away!
10. The outdoors. The beauty of nature astounds me. I love it all. The sunshine, clouds, rain, thunderstorms, snow (in its season....not so much in April & May), mountains, plains, ocean. I love being out in it, enjoying God's creation!

I love his smile. Nathaniels that is. Jeff's is ok too, but it would probably be creepy if I said I loved it...
