What makes me Happy


One of the blogs that I follow was given this award...Carrie encouraged us all to play along.
The rules are simple:
1) LIST 10 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY
2) PASS THIS AWARD ALONG TO 10 OTHERS

So, I decided to play along....with #1
  1. My loving husband
  2. Dakota's vivid imagination
  3. Lily's sweet voice
  4. The smell of the Spring and Fall
  5. Seeing Dakota's excitement over the smallest of things
  6. Hearing Dakota tell his sister that one day he will be 5 and when he is 5, he will get to go and practice football at that field with the other boys.
  7. Hearing " I love you, Mommy."
  8. The love our family has for each other...nothing can come between us
  9. The smell of coffee brewing
  10. An uninterrupted bubble bath
My list could go on and on...2009 has been a blessed year for us here at the Smith house. Our family is healthy...what more could I ask for? Hearing Lily talk...and giggle. She tried to tickle me today..but couldn't stop laughing herself to tickle me. It was a sight.

No matter what happens in the new year or has happened in the past years...
remember Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

We claimed this verse when Lily was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect and claimed it through her open heart surgery....and are still claiming it.

What a wonderful 2009...looking forward to all that God has in store for our family in 2010.

Happy New Year's Eve!!
