I love...

wrapping gifts for people when it's something I know they will really like.

Julia in her Christmas dresses on a Friday for no good reason besides that she can.

Phil and Justine's engagement pictures.

catching up with Phil.

candy cane hershey kisses.

Adalane's sweet snore.

snowstorms when we don't have to go anywhere.

going to Dakota County's Christmas Heritage Village. It's the best EVER! All the old houses are all decked out and everyone is dressed for the era. Mrs. Santa is in the post office helping send letters to Santa (he sends one back, too!), and you can send mail to our soldiers also. We stop in at the Drug Store for hot cocoa and visit with a woman who works there. Her son committed suicide years ago. I sent her a book, anonymously (of course) and it's good to see her and get caught up without her knowing that I have such a concern for her.

going there with Dan and Deb and my parents. Gosh I love all of them so much.

clean laundry.

knowing that I can do anything I want to.

Julia's hysterical sense of humor.

Friday afternoons.

seeing Em and Kim every day.

making yummy dinners for all of my family to enjoy.

that Shannon is working part time. Not strong enough for full time yet, but part time! That's HUGE! GO SHANNON GO!

my friend Judy in Iowa. She's a full time firefighter (and has been for 22 years!) on a squadron of 122 men. She's a kidney donor. She had FOUR organs removed in TEN months. She beat me by one appendix and one month. :D I love who she is.

sending Bob pictures the kids drew for him.

feeding hungry babies.

clean houses.
