Simple Joys

Some things in life are so simple and yet they make me so happy! The little things in life are pretty sweet, such as:

- Powerade Zero: my latest addiction. Seriously. I hate regular Powerade, but Powerade Zero is really good! And it has zero calories, so I don't feel guilty at all about drinking as much of it as I can hold!

- Signs of Spring: It is Utah, so there is still snow on the ground, but there are still signs of spring everywhere I look! I was able to do seven hours of yard work the other day and only had to wear a light sweatshirt! I also found a bunch of daffodils, tulips, and a crap load of irises in my yard! I am so excited! I had no idea they were even there! AND while I was uncovering my cute little flowers I found a huge caterpillar (which I loving have named Capatilla, because of the kid from Big Daddy). I am keeping him in a jar until I can show my little sister. She will love it. He has been eating iris leaves and root and is getting bigger every day! He's adorable.

- Fresh fruit and veggies: I love fruit and veggies. The only thing is that they are so expensive these days so it is hard to buy a lot at a time. However, there is a solution! Thanks so a few friends and my sister-in-law I was finally convinced to sign up for Bountiful Baskets, and let me tell you, I am soooo glad that I did! This morning I went and picked up my basket and in it was four tomatoes, two zucchinis, eight sweet potatoes, a bag of carrots, a head of romaine lettuce, a cantaloupe, three grapefruits, four mangoes, twenty clementines, twelve apples, and a bunch of bananas! And guess how much I paid for it all? FIFTEEN BUCKS!!!! Ka-chow! Simple joys baby.

- Fuzzy socks, converse, and sweatshirts: There are days when you just want to be comfy. Most of the days this semester have been those kinds of days for me. I wear my converse every day, and I love them so much. They are by far my favorite shoes in the whole world. I also love my baggy sweatshirt that I am wearing today. It is one my mom gave me and it is super huge and cut up. I love it. Fuzzy socks- self explanatory.

- Waking up next to the man of my dreams every single morning: need I say more? I love him so much. And he is pretty much the best kisser ever. Just sayin.
