25+ Things That Make Me Happy

On Facebook I was challenged by Maria to share 5 things per day that make me happy. Instead of posting directly to Facebook, I thought it would be interesting to make a list of 25+ things that truly make me happy. It was actually pretty fun to make a list (as you can see, it's one of the things that makes me happy) and really think about the things in life that make me happy, besides knowing that I have been forgiven, and God has placed me on his side. (That's what our sermon at church was about today, so props to Pastor Russ!) I would like to challenge Ann Houlette and Lauren Vogel to make their own lists.
