Things I Love

This week I have discovered that my mood can change quite often. Life is not always easy and happy, but I know what will make me happy. When I am stressed at school or had a long day at work I can come home and do something I love which makes me much happier. I'm sure there are things I am forgetting, but here are some things I love:

1. Water- If I could have one thing to drink for the rest of my life, it would be water. Flavored water (aka Propel) is especially delicious! I get dehydrated easily and with this much hair I get bad headaches, but water is the cure. Plus it is refreshing and has no calories!
2. Chocolate- What girl doesn't like chocolate!? Ok so I guess that can be said about quite a few things. It is so good! Milk, dark, toffee, or any other kind is a perfect way to finish off the day. I definitely have a sweet tooth. :)
3. Candles- These darlings are my newest love. They smell lovely and are so romantic! Once I am married I plan on filling my house with candles. Even though now it's just me, I like the mood they set glowing on our bookshelf. Kara (my roommate) may or may not tease me for taking such good care of my candles.
4. Chick Flicks- I hardly watch any other type of movie! I occasionally bring out a sports movie, but nothing is as great as the butterflies you get after a darling movie. Last night I watched a classic...Pride and Prejudice. It was wonderful, as always.
5. Driving at night- The other day I was driving home from work after a long night and decided to drive through the canyon. There is something about the dark sky and bending roads. I can blast the songs that make me dance, or play the sweet country songs that make me daydream. Either way, I decided it is therapeutic.
6. Flowers- They are gorgeous, smell lovely, and can be arranged in so many ways. They are the elegant part of nature. I got to take floral design here at BYU, which has increased my love for flowers. Now I know lots of names and how to arrange the flowers I love.

The first thing I made in floral design was this boutonniere. Zach was such a good sport and wore it on our date so I could get extra credit :)
7. Coconut- I found the most delicious coconut cake that BYU makes. I already love cake and coconut so I wasn't surprised when I loved it.
8. Tennis- I had a tennis tournament last week and totally lost, but still loved it. It is so fun and something I will always be able to do. I don't have to get a whole team together because I only need one more person and lots of people play. It is the perfect sport for this time of life and is good exercise.
9. New music- One of my favorite things is when people post the video of a song they love on facebook. I always love hearing the super cute songs. I recently fell in love with Ben Rector. I had heard of him, but now I have heard his songs. haha
