Day with the Twins

Posted in Family, Happy by

Saturday I spent time with my best friend and her twin girls who are almost 6 months old.  Aren’t they the cutest!  They have gotten so big since I saw them last!  The older one who weighed 6 ounces more when she was born…is now the smaller one, weighing a few lbs less then her little sister!  They are so cute and definitely each have their own personality.

Being the “unofficial” auntie I almost constantly had one of them in my arms…I mean its so hard to put them down when they start fussing.  I know I know, this will change when I have have my own kid I’m sure.  But for that day, I treasured all the time I got to hold them.

My best friend rocks and I will be leaning on her for advice when I become a mother. I’m not sure how she does it, a full time job and 4 year old adorable son and twin girls!  Whew…she amazes me.  And for the record, yes my biological clock was ticking very loudly that day, I mean whose wouldn’t!

Syl and Jaime made me smile last week by giving me this award. Thank you ladies…you both bring smiles and happiness to my day too! And Melissa gave it to me too….I guess it was a good week!  Thanks for reminding me Lissa, I thought I kept them all in my google reader, but I think I just randomly checked yours and saw my name! 

Here are 10 random things that make me happy.

1. My husband meeting me at the door when I get home with a hug and how was your day.
2. Emma’s tail wagging….for any reason. I think of it as her way of smiling.
3. Hearing my Grandma tell me she loves me
4. Seeing an elderly couple holding hands….I want us to be like that when I grow old.
5. Seeing my exercise and healthier eating pay off, whether it be on the scale or by my clothes fitting better.
6. Getting random emails, texts or calls from a friend when I least expect it to just say hi.
7. Babies….enough said…they are just so adorable.
8. Getting good reviews at work. My job is very important to me, and its nice to know I’m appreciated.
9. Winning stuff…I love to win things…even if it’s a granola bar!
10. College football…seriously I love watching football all day on Saturdays in the fall. Spending the halftimes on the patio with the grill makes for a great day!

Some are loving mothers, others are motivating weight loss warriors, some are thought-provoking and entertaining writers, others are great photographers and some are a combination of some or all of these!
