Happy 101 Award!

Apparently Short Southern Momma is a very generous woman (with great hair, I might add!) because she gave me this award already! Thank you SO much! So, off I go t claim my very first blog award!

The Happy 101 Award is to thank the wonderful bloggers that make you smile!

Here are the rules:
List 10 things that make you happy.
(try to do one of those things TODAY!)

Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day.
Make sure to link back to the person that tagged you!

1. Knowing this guy is with me for the long haul...


2. Our families... as crazy as they can be.


3. My animals, they truly make me smile every. single. day.


4. My fabulous five BFFs (more on them to come...)

Claire, my Chicago BFF

5. Food. I know, that's terrible but its so honest. I LOVE food and it makes me SO happy.

Tom Kha Gai, my favorite Thai indulgence!

6.A big whiff of fresh laundry smell... Except, we use free & clear because we have sensitive skin. But, YUM! I loooove bounty!


7. The weather in my great state. I love the freshness in a fall day and the glory of the mountains on a clear summer afternoon. Most people gripe about the weather, no matter the season. It's too hot. It's too wet. It's too grey. It's too cold. It's too muggy. I will take this opportunity to ask all people who hate the PNW to leave. There will be more room for me this way! Thank.you.very.much!

My favorite mountains, The Olympics

8. A good laugh. The gut wrenching kind... who doesn't love that?
Stephanie just made me crack up... see what you think about her "Blondie's Year in Review!"



9. A clean house. This rarely happens in this place! In fact, that's what I'm supposed to being at this very second...




10. Last, but not least... MUSIC! I am a music fanatic. I am not a music SNOB, however. I love all types (well, except artists like Slipknot... *ahem*)

If you can't tell... That lovely lady is my favorite (of all time,) Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland! Oh, OH! *goosebumps* The concert I saw them in this summer was amazing... I can't wait to see them again!

Now its time to tag the top ten blogs that make me smile...

1. A Daily Dose of Davis -- Jen is a great blogger and a good friend. I hope to meet her IRL some day.
2. The Pioneer Woman -- I love her dang recipes! She's a hoot!
3. Live.Love.Laugh. -- Heather is a great blogger about every day life. She brought us along her journey to marriage and now she's a new Auntie!
   
4. House of Rose -- Mandy makes some really cute baby shoes and her little P Man is adorable! She's currently in labor with Bentley so I doubt she'll be blogging a whole lot in the next few days...
5. Life According to Candice -- I don't even remember how I found her, but Candice is hilarious. Definitely NOT PG -- consider yourself warned! :)
6. The Branches -- Becky is about ready to have her son Connor!
7. The Browns -- Becky's twin sister, Bonnie's blog about her life with her brand new baby Jarrett!
8. Another Day In Paradise -- DAR is quite the lady... She's a runner, new attorney and I love reading her posts.
9. Live.Laugh.Love. -- I'm a new follower of Stephanie's but I'll be returning to her blog a lot, I can tell already!
10. Seattle Smiths -- A fellow PNW blogger and the host of Wishful Wednesdays!
11. Experiments in a Galley Kitchen -- Mrs. Potts' blog is another new one. I've tried to catch up and love it already!
    

Ok, I came up with 11... so shoot me. Go check these blogs out if you haven't already!
