Emily frequently makes "Happy Lists" on her blog. These lists record the little moments that made her happy throughout the week. I love the idea and feel like I could definitely stand to pay more attention to the happy little details in my life, so I'm going to try to make happy lists here every so often. You all should try it, too!
All my girlfriends who keep me sane in Grenada (most of them pictured above) ||| Seeing my dad sing Christmas music with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on my computer screen ||| Taking our little car for a Sunday evening joy ride to the airport and back ||| Slightly overcoming my fear of Facebook and checking my notifications three times in one day (I've had a quirky case of Facebook anxiety ever since we moved here) ||| Seeing a tiny blur of a mouse dash under our computer desk while we watched The Grinch, and then watching Jared chase the little guy all over our apartment with a broom ||| The adorable little boy at church who giggled loudly from the front row, "Mom, why did you talk like that?" after his Mom cried a little bit while bearing her testimony ||| Jared getting really good at braiding my hair each night before bed (a trick I taught him after I read that Emily's husband braids her hair every evening)
How are we at December 9 already? There are only two finals and one little apartment move left between us and our flight back to America for Christmas. Fingers crossed there will be snow!
