well, it's my birthday today and i thought i'd share 32 of my favorite things (i got the idea from a friend's blog). They are not in any order, just as I randomly thought of them. this will make getting older a little more positive, because i'll get to share more each year. that's me being optimistic (it's a work in progress)
1. i love the art work on the opening credits of the new Charlotte's Web
2. i love the tripod that austin got me for my birthday, family pics will be so much easier now
3. i love finishing projects in one sitting (it doesn't happen very often)
4. i love the movie stardust, it's a new favorite. i'm even developing ideas of being a star for halloween and how i'm going to make that dress
5. i love vintage dresses (like on I love Lucy and my mom's old barbie doll). and a friend gave me a whole box full of fun old patterns, i can't wait to make some
6. i love getting kisses from austin & the kids when i have to leave or after i return home
7. i love lindt chocolate

12. i love the gospel
13. i love to paint
14. i love algebra (yeah, i'm a geek)

24. i love my 'lord of the ring/pirate' boots, they are so fun to wear and keep my toes oh, so toasty
25. i love to dress up, which is probably why halloween is my favorite holiday. i firmly believe we do not have enough costume parties
26. my favorite saturday morning cartoon is 'viva pinata'
26. i absolutely love watching episodes of 'the office', i love that it always makes me laugh out loud
27. i love making collages with photos of those i love, they are my favorite house decor
28. i love my calling in the primary and i'm shocked that i would ever say that (i always dreaded serving in the primary and being one of 'those' sisters
29. i love mowing the lawn
30. i love going to the library, the possibilities are endless
31. i love taking the kids to the playground
32. i love bajio grill, i'm hoping that's what we have for dinner tonight

What a fantastic idea! I really loved reading your list. It made me think of things I love - everyone needs a reminder of how many great things there are around us. That was awesome.
Oh, and happy birthday! Derrhhh!
Happy, happy birthday!
I loved your list.
I found a little book mark that you gave me a million years ago, the other day and it's still smells wonderfully (it had eucalyptus on the end) and it got me thinking how you were one of the first people that got me into 'current music.' I was totally raised with the oldies station and I just want to say thank you for letting me borrow: Eurasure's Wild, Madonna's Like a Prayer, and I'm sure there was either an OMD or Alphaville tape somewhere in there. I always thought you were so cool.
happy b-day again Kel. It was great seeing you while JOhn and I visited. I didn't get any photos w/ you n' the kids though (I guess you will have to fly to P-town for a photo op)
we love you guys
