7 Things I Love

ok, ok, Melissa, I dedicate this to you.

7-BBC. This website is by far my favorite for getting my news. Plus it's British which is an added bonus. And it's part of my daily routine. Come to work. Check email. Check BBC. Start day...So really my day wouldn't be complete without my British information source.

6-Runs in the city. I'm not sure if these will be in any correct order or not because 6 seems low for how much I love running in the city. Nothing provides the same feeling of escape as putting on your favorite tennis shoes, grabbing your iPod (which I carry with me but rarely use), and heading out. I've gotten in the habit of not wearing a watch which makes me feel like I'm escaping even more so as time is no longer a consideration. Add on the people. Ah, the people you see when you run down a busy street during rush hour. It's wonderful.

5-Text messages. Ha, perhaps this should go more in a "strongly like" category. Let me explain though what I love about text messages. In our day and age we rarely have the time to have long, drawn out conversations with people. Having the ability to quickly send an electronic note that says "I'm thinking of you" is the perfect solution. Edit-though texts are great, please understand that I cannot stand when they become the ONLY form of communication. In that sense I think we've become way too dependent on technology, but alas, I'm writing about things I love, back to the matter at hand...

4-Sephora. I don't consider myself very girly by way of buying and applying makeup, but when I walk in this store I feel as though it makes up for any lack of girliness I may not possess. Add on that they have every scent known to man and it makes for a fun store to peruse through.

3-My car running. I have this fear that since I'm so neglectful with my car that it'll die on me anytime. I really have no reason to think that other than I don't really understand how cars work so I just hope mine keeps running...

2-My sister's wedding. For numerous reasons. The largest probably being that she's getting married which is huge. The second being that I get to help with the invitation and details and such (though I have been busy and not as attentive as needed). Either way, I love weddings and I love them even more so when they entail your only sister getting married.

1-My health. I'm realizing as I get older (I did turn 24 you know) that my health is beyond precious and by all standards I'm as healthy as a horse. Did I really just compare myself to a horse? But I am grateful for my health.

So there you have it. My top 7 things at 8:51 a.m. that are my favorites. Though I think it somehow turned into a gratitude list more than anything. Understand please that I left off the obvious ones of family, Gospel, friends, etc. For those don't even need to be written, it is just understand.

And Melissa, again, this post is for you. Never say that I didn't give you a good wedding gift.
