7 things that make me happy

I have been tagged by another blog I read to post 7 things that make me happy. Here goes:

1. My daughter. Every day she lights up my life and adds more to my life than anyone. She makes me laugh, cry, and loves me unconditionally.

2. The pool. Right now, our pool is about the only reason we go outside anymore and after a long day of work and errands, it is perfect.

3. Old Navy flip flops. The most comfortable and most affordable flip flops make my whole summer great.

4. My job. I am finally where I wanted to be in my organization and I am getting to grow it and make such a difference. Everything is coming together.

5. Pregnancy. Although the first trimester of pregnancy is never fun, I am just so thankful to be pregnant that most of the time I can overcome the general feelings of sickness. Between the heat and a still undiagnosed sickness that causes joint aches, my pregnancy symptoms are stronger than previously, but there is still not alot than can bring me down about this pregnancy.

6. Thrift & Discount stores. I am very thankful for two stores especially: Value Thrift & Ross. Ross has allowed me to purchase a couple of cheap maternity shirts, a pair of shorts and a pair of khakis to get me through the rest of the summer. For those who don't know, maternity clothes are expensive. And since most of my time being pregnant will be in cooler and cold months, it is not smart to spend alot of money of clothing items I will only wear for a month or two. Cadence starts school next week and I knew that she would be needing some fall clothes before I knew it. While it is fun to by your kids cute clothes, it can also be really really expensive! At two thrift stores this weekend, I found a gymboree top, Children's place jeans, a gap wrap sweater, gap jeans, two pairs of gap pink cords, and a motherhood maternity shirt for me. Along with 4 books. Between how expensive kids clothes are and how hard they are on them, there is little reason to spend so much money on cute clothes, especially when you can find them just as cute for really cheap. Another favorite of mine is the JBF sale, which starts this Sunday here in Tulsa. I hope to finish up KK's school clothes shopping next week at this sale, as well as stocking up on maternity clothes.

7. My husband and family. I have an incredible family who loves me and supports me. I am so thankful for all of them and have so much fun with everyone.

Okay, for anyone who reads this, Tag, you're it!
