Favorite things...

I have had the sound of music song "favorite things" stuck in my head all day.  I love that song, but hate when it gets stuck.  It is REALLY REALLY STUCK,  and am really sorry if it's now stuck in your head!  

These are some of my favorite things:

1) Hitting ALL green lights on milton! 

2) The smell of my husbands Polo cologne.

3) Being productive

4) Mama's homemade bread

5) Swinging my niece in my arms

6) Have ZERO new emails from school

8) Accomplishing hard things

9) Smiles from strangers

10) Playing "reverent" peek-a-boo with the boy who sits in front of us at church 

11) Snuggling with Aaron while watching movies 

12) Remembering all of my lovely EA roommates, old friends, and mission companions 

13) Old pictures

14) Singing to the radio

15) Singing in the shower

16) CHOCOLATE!!!

17) Getting 50% off of anything

18) Playing bananagrams (if you haven't played this game, you must go buy it immediately!)

19) Watching Abby (the Seaman's dog) stick her head out the car window

20) AhhHA!!! moments

21) Successfully cooking a new meal

22) High-fives

What makes you happy?

Suggestions please!

Wow, this has been the craziest summer I have EVER had.  I just started my clinic rotations and have 4 instead of 2!!!!  I have no idea how that happened and even though the school doesn't either, they won't let me drop even one rotation!  Don't get me wrong,  it is REALLY COOL to get the experience and I absolutely LOVE what I do.  I just miss my husband.  I see him for about 15 minutes before we go to bed at 10:15 PM, and kiss him good bye at 6:00 AM every week day (while he is still asleep).  I can really feel it wearing on both of us.  I have tried setting aside certain nights to spend time with him, but it seems like I always get emails or phone calls on THOSE nights from professors requesting new assignments for the next day.  I hope it will get easier as I gain more experience and get faster at writing treatment plans and clinic reports, but until then, HOW DO I STRENGTHEN MY MARRIAGE?  Have any of you gone through something similar?  What did you do?

Best haircut ever!!!

I finally got a hair cut and have to say that Leigh Call is EXTREMELY talented and fun.  If you are looking for someone who can really bring out your best look, and have fun doing it, she's your gal!  Thanks Leigh!  Sorry, this is the only photo I have.  I hope to go even shorter soon, and when I do, I'm going back to Leigh.
