Life is pretty wonderful, huh? We hold the key to our own destinies and have the power to make anything come true. My husband would definitely say I am a dreamer. I tell Chris all the time that if he wants us to sell all of our belongings and move to South Africa or Japan or Argentina, I am right there behind him. No questions asked. Unfortunately, he has not taken me up on this offer, but I have my fingers crossed for one day in the future.
I not only dream about the future, but dream about different things that make my heart smile. Life is so quick and so precious that I think it is important to take a moment and really savor the things that make you happy. Here is my first list that I wanted to share with you to help you get to know me a little better and to help you to think about things in your life that make it that much sweeter.
1. My husband does this dance when he is really happy. He flails his arms and legs in what I lovingly call the "happy dance." I literally can't even keep a straight face as I type this...I have a video of the happy dance on our honeymoon. If you're lucky, I will show it to you one day. If he doesn't delete it after this post. :)
2. Oprah. She rocks my world. Every evening I get home from work and anticipate what her show was about. Did Lisa Ling investigate some other epidemic in the Middle America that I had never heard of? Would Dr. Oz answer questions that I had been too nervous to ask? I reference Oprah shows WAY more than the average individual should be allowed. I should be embarrassed to type this, but I am going to stand high and shout it from the rooftops (aka my blog).
3. Sin Nombre. My husband knew this was coming...I saw the movie Sin Nombre the weekend before last and I literally bring it up in every conversation. It is a Mexican film that is raw, real and unforgettable. I cried for literally 15 minutes after the movie was over. Yes, I'm that person.
4. South Africa. My favorite place in the world, hands down. I lived there for a summer in college. I was visiting my sister and decided not to come home. Yeah, you wouldn't have wanted to be on the phone when I called and told my parents that I wasn't going to be home the next day as expected. :) The country makes my heart soar to new heights. It is breathtakingly gorgeous, intriguingly complicated and the people are phenomenal. My sister Cindy is the lucky one who now lives there. We are excited to be visiting in November!
5. Strawberries + Costco. This is my last one for the day. But did you know that Costco is selling a FOUR POUND box of strawberries for like $6?! Mere pennies in my mind and they are HUGE and JUICY. Run to your closest Costco NOW! :) I had to take a picture so you would believe me...
Happy Tuesday!
