When Valentine's Day starts to head our way, I like to think about all the things that get me excited, encouraged and just plain happy.


In no particular order, here are 23 things that I heart....


1. Coffee ( I am currently drinking it now, so it is on my mind. Although, I love my creamer more....Almond Joy is currently my fav.)
2. my Lord and Savior- because I know without Him, I can't experience the deepness of ones love for me, and this list would be worthless.
3. CrossFit (it's been the ONLY exercise that can kick my butt and keep me wanting to go back for more....and it's the only one that has brought back my abs....I haven't seen them since 1998......)
4. the reality that I am a mother of four girls....love it. We are crazy. And emotional. But I love them to pieces.
5. to work.....(this can be a problem sometimes.....I'm getting better. I'm even letting the house go some...not sure I love that part, but I love the "sitting still" part....)
6.  my Wiregrass Church. (no explanation, if you want to know why, come visit us this Sunday.)
7. my small group. (they are a group of people I have truly shared more with then anyone else.)
8. Pajamas....seriously, I get mad at night when I can't find a matching pair. (my disgust of laundry gets the better of me)....but I want the soft cotton, two piece set. Not flannel, silk, whatever. Give me cotton.
9.  food. (all kinds.....and even embracing rabbit food I have to eat everyday on this Eat Clean Challenge I am currently on.)
10. my CrossFit 5am class. I love all my CCC peeps, but 5am has a special place in my heart.
11. working out at 5am. Even when exhausted. It starts the day off awesome and I love to drive home to the sunrise and feel like I just conquered the world....or a female WOD.....same thing.
12. my laundry fairy......oh, wait....I don't have one of those..
13. I would love #12 if it were true
14. chocolate cake...but my all time favorite dessert is....pound cake, although it runs a close 1st with pistachio cake.
15. to look for the beauty in things....everything/everyone has it...be looking.
16. wine and cheese....and throw in some dried figs and apricots and I'll love you forever.
17. pasta....my weakness...if requested, will be my last meal.
18. blogging. Just love it, but no time, just no time, I tell ya.
19. family....just wish I could squeeze them more
20. a good chillaxing evening with friends....preferably on the patio with the fire pit going and #14, #16, #17, and that order would be fine with me...
21. my dearest friend who lives a world away...you know who you are...
22. Hope's birth mom...I love her greatly. She stands as a top blessing in my life, and I find myself bursting into tears through out some days, just because I love her soul and the sacrifice she made. I want to hug her everyday.
23. my hubs....without him, you all wouldn't know the real me. He's my encourager, supporter and deep love of my life, and desires to see me happy and at full potential. He loves for me to be doing what I love. I'm so thankful I haven't run him off, because trust me, I've tried....I'm not the easiest to live with. My heart bursts when I think of him. He is the most incredible man I know.

Take some time to list the things you love! It will do your heart good :)

Happy {heart} Day!
