happy moments

Since all of my posts have been on the depressing pessimistic side of things, I thought it would be good to write down a couple happy moments that I have had in the past week...

*Being a proud wife watching my husband get employee of the year award for his work

*Watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with Mark; it was his idea to watch it too. And as cheesy as this is...the moment in the movie where they are at his parents house in the bathroom, and that fabulous song Home comes on. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy hearing that song with Mark by my side because deep down as much as I dislike Canada I know that when I am with him, I am home.

*Holding my 3 week old nephew. Those lil guys always bring a smile to my face.

*I've realized in the past week how enjoyable it is to celebrate in someone else's accomplishments, and to genuinely be so hugely proud of someone that you love. Today I was happy and proud that Mark's hard work was acknowledged, he got a raise at work.

*A simple trip to costco with my sister-in-law

*As little of a thing this may be, Mark made me very happy tonight by letting me know how amazing he thought the dinner I made was.

So those are my happy moments for the week. They aren't spectacular, but they all did truly make me happy.
Now I am going to get off of the computer and read a book that is wider than my hand because it is historically fascinating, and I am a history nerd.
