Surfing The Past:

I was going through an old album this week and decided to scan a few of the pictures that made me laugh, and made me say, "Holy crap! I was orange!" (I taught swimming and was a life guard during the end of this summer and that's why I'm orange...) During the first year we were dating (2004), we took a little day-trip to Arizona to see Dustin's Grandma and on that trip we took a long a little disposable camera. These are fond memories.
Dustin with my hat on, clearly making fun of me although, I can't
remember what he was saying.This photo cracks me up.
Not really sure what the serious-trying to be sexy face
is all about (how embarrassing),
but Dustin sure looks cute in this pic if you ask me!
I didn't do a whole lot of "Surfing" this week, So I decided to read through my blog and post some of my favorite posts since I've written over 500 blogs now! Yikes....I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing....

Surfing The Past:
When his personality started to shine through
The one where I announced this and this
What Conrad & Dustin dressed up as last year for Halloween
Not even a month old and he was already melting my heart
The time we went to the cabin with our friends for the weekend
The names we didn't choose
I can't believe I was this BIG! Whoa!
The smell of old spice deodorant still makes my mouth water...
An engagement session I loved doing

    Ten things that make me happy (right now...because there are a lot more! hee hee):

    1. getting to sleep in or take naps
    2. finding a crunchy leaf to step on
    3. being smiled at by any baby (since I don't have any of my own yet)
    4. pumpkin anything...creamer, ice cream, cookies, pie, pop tarts, turnovers, scones, candles, costumes...
    5. the band NEEDTOBREATHE :) especially the drummer!
    6. having people in my home
    7. singing
    8. dancing at random (i.e. to a song in a movie in my living room, to a song in a store in public...)
    9. seeing people impacted somehow by what I put on my blog
    10. amazing prayer mornings with Jesus

    Ten Things That Make Me Happy-
    1. Most things involving Jack.
    2. Autumn air. It just feels different, smells different and makes me act different (for the better).
    3. Soup. I'm a soup fiend.
    4. A clean house, lit candles in good scents, Jack in bed and time to myself.
    5. Being around books. I spent A LOT of my time in the library as a kid.
    6. Good conversations. It literally leaves me with a buzz.
    7. Downtown Tucson and the people that inhabit it.
    8. The right dress, right now. Shoes too.
    9. Chipotle. My husband will use it as a reward, a way to mend a fight, and probably bribery since he knows I love it so much.
    10. Your blog.

    A good, vintage find!
    The sound of waves crashing.
    Putting out amazing music.
    Seeing my friends change the world.
    Making things.

    I feel like my "ten things that make me happy" list changes from month to month, but isn't it nice to see the little things that make us happy like crunching a dead leaf under our feet or having a clean house.

    Amanda, I was smiling while reading your list because I too could have written all of those things. I feel like a good conversation with a friend about REAL things, not superficial types of things, but life changing, character changing things really leave me with a buzz too.

    Thanks for sharing some of your older posts with us. It was a nice way to get to know you. Also, I always think it is fun to look back on pictures of my husband and I from the early days...we started dating in high school over 11 years ago...we were children!

    And here's my 10:
    sleeping in
    cuddling with my baby boy
    coffee
    stealing some moments alone with the husband
    talking to my mom
    sitting by a fire
    smores!
    making my boy laugh
    helping people
    driving (I find it so soothing!)
