30 loves

In honor of my 30th birthday just 6 days ago, I wanted to compile a list of 30 things I love. Too often when I blog or scrapbook, I focus on the kids, and this time it's all about me! I learned this at a scrapbooking retreat a couple of years ago, that as one of God's perfect and beautiful creations, it is important to appreciate me, as one of God's creations!

These items are in no particular order, by the way.
I love...
1. the way Greg loves me (cheesy I know, as this is a country song.)
2. that I have a relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ and assured freedom through Him.
3. hearing Charlotte's feet pitter patter in the early morning as she runs into our bedroom.
4. Elijah's very sweet, open mouth kisses that he accents with the "smack" noise every time.
5. making Charlotte and Elijah laugh.
6. to smile, although it is giving me premature wrinkles.
7. completing puzzles with Greg.
8. enjoying a good meal, especially if it is cooked by someone else.
9. to scrapbook.
10. watching Grey's Anatomy.
11. German Chocolate Blizzards from Dairy Queen.
12. supercouponing.
13. curling up with a good book, including children's ones.
14. to sing in the shower
15. having Foster Family Dance parties.
16. playing board games.
17. to bake.
18. hanging out with friends.
19. talking with Kimberly everyday on the phone. (Remember, K, I said this list is in no particular order, so don't complain you are number 19.)
20. attending my new Bible Study and the accountability it provides in getting me into God's Word.
21. finding awesome deals, including free things.
22. great rummage sales.
23. hanging out with friends.
24. going to Village Creek Bible Camp for Family Camp.
25. watching The Amazing Race.
26. that I am turning out to be like my mother (most of the time!)
27. to teach.
28. giving birth (with an epidural of course!)
29. kisses from my husband and other, shall I say, loving activities.
30. facebooking.

Love your list...been waiting for it;)

I laughed when I read "other" loving activities...cuz Greg can use that one to remind you over and over again that you "love it"...even after a hard day though, maybe a reminder does us all a load of good;)
