Top 5 Things in life...

Sherami tagged me on this one, so here it goes. These are my top 5 things in life...

1. My marriage - I am so speechless when it comes to describing how I feel about my husband and the marriage that we have together. It is honestly a dream come true and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have the husband that I do. We both work so hard at it and yet it feels so effortless because we love the other that much. He is so handsome, patient, kind, respectful, caring, sensitive, thoughtful and not to mention hilarious! He is my absolute best friend in the whole world and I only wished that I would have found someone like him to share a marriage with. God truly rewarded me when he brought Houston into my life. We were meant to be together and I thank my brother for knowing exactly what his sister wanted. We've created such an amazing life together and there are still so many wonderful things to come. I am amazed at how long our "Honeymoon Stage" has lasted and will continue to last for. It's nice to know that the only two people that could change that are the two of us and that is so comforting to know. I still get butterflies when I hear his truck coming up the street and he still can make me laugh hysterically by just looking at me. I love the life that we have created together and I can't wait to add to it ;)

2. My Family - I love my family more than anything in the world, the people who love me unconditionally no matter what. My parents are truly amazing people and I am the way that I am today because of them. They are the best parents that anyone could absolutely EVER ask for and the love that they have giving me in my lifetime is unmeasurable. My brothers have also shaped the person that I am today because of all of their words of advice over the years, not to mention being my protectors. I love them all dearly! I have the greatest woman in the world who is my godmother and she was sent into my life for a reason. She is such an amazing lady and I have learned so much from her over the years. She never forgets anything and hearing her voice will always put a smile on my face. I love all of my sister-in-laws and their families so much and am so happy to have them in my life. I am very excited to get to know all of them more over the years and become much better friends. My mother-in-law and step-father-in-law are wonderful people as well and I wish that we got to see them more. I have enjoyed the time so much that I have been able to share with them and I'm looking forward to spending more time together down the road. I am so grateful for them in my life. I also have an amazing extended family and I am so grateful for all of them in my life. I wish that I got to see them more often. In a perfect world, we would all live near each other.

3. My Little Buddy - We truly have the worlds greatest dog and I can't imagine him not being in our lives. He is not just our dog, he is a member of the family. He has the best life that a dog could ever ask for and I'm sure the dogs looking down on him from doggy heaven are a little bit jealous of how good he has it. He sleeps on a soft, comfortable bed every night in an air conditioned/heated house; he gets treats all day long, he plays at grandma and grandpa's house at least three times a week where he can play with the cats, go swimming, play hockey with his Uncle Dave and run like a mad man in their backyard; he is the epitome of an only child and is showered with attention 24/7. He gets everything he wants but he also deserves it. He is the best behaving dog ever, he never chews anything up or goes to the bathroom in the house. He talks to you with his facial expressions and is probably the most sensitive dog that there ever was. We are all blessed to have Bear in our lives. He has truly showed me the meaning of "man's best friend".

4. My Friends - I am so thankful for having such wonderful friends throughout my life. As time goes by it's hard to keep in touch with everyone but I think of all of my friends often and a smile always comes to my face thinking back on memories together. That is why I love to scrapbook because I can always look back on pictures and times that we spent together and nobody can ever take those away from me. From volleyball friends to school and work friends, I have been blessed with wonderful people in my life and every one of them has taught me something different about myself. I try hard to keep in touch with everyone but there are so many people that I consider a friend that it's hard to let them all know how much I care about them. Thank you to all of you who are special friends to me!

5. My Home - I am a cancer so I cherish being at home and really I am the most content when I am at home. I love our house that we have worked so hard on over these few years. Houston takes great pride in our home too and I love that about him. I love decorating it for the holidays, cleaning it, fixing it, painting it and most of all enjoying it! It really is a never ending process to make your home "perfect" but I don't mind that it's never ending because we have so much fun doing it together.

I am going to tag Brooke, Mary and Dawn.
