35 years

As another year has come and gone, I have to say I am a little in awe at how quickly time flies! I can't believe that I have been alive for 35 years...it really does not seem like I can possibly be that age. I definately do not feel like I am 35, I would have to say I only feel about 28.

So, in honor of my 35 years of life I decided to make a list of 35 things that I have discovered that I love. I don't know if I can document these items in the order that I learned them...they are definately not in any order.
1. I love to sleep. As a baby,I slept the whole night through the first night I was home from the hospital.
2. I love my parents and all that they have taught me and all the sacrifices that they have made for me.
3. I love my family, I love to spend time with them and talk with them. I think they are pretty funny, I love to laugh with them.
4. I love chocolate, pretty much in any form.
5. I love spring time, I love to see the flowers blooming and bringing color back into the world after winter.
6. I love good food, I always have a hard time choosing my favorite food...because I just love food. I will never have an eating disorder because I like to eat.
7. I Christmas, I love the way people are around christmas and I love that we think of Christ more.
8. I love playing volleyball and softball.
9. I love to laugh, I would have to say that there is rarely a day that goes by that I haven't laughed at something. Usually, it is at myself...becuase I do some silly things. Okay, that image just made me laugh. Not everyone can crack themselves up. :)
