the little things.

Happiness is the little things. Are they not? Let's be honest. In life, the little things are what make one the happiest. For example, when someone tells you that you're naturally pretty, just out of the blue, or when someone just says something that makes you laugh or when your friend remembers something and you reminisce. What about the smelling and the feeling of Christmas time? Don't you just love that? Or when it's summer time and it's 100+ degrees outside and you walk into an air conditioned house or building. What about the smell of the grass after everyone's lawns have been mowed? I love those feelings and just the little things that happen to make life just that much more awesome. Those are the kinds of things that everyone looks past and doesn't even worry about them. I wish we could be more observant of the little things. What are the little things that you enjoy?

...When a Person Hugs Back Tighter.

There's this website, and it's basically incredible. (basically) And you go there and every day it lists something small and simple that is bound to make you smile because it can. It's that awesome. It just states the most random things that most people don't realize make them happy. It's pretty sweet. So, when I'm too foolish to think of anything on my own, I'll refer to this beauty.

So today's topic will refer to hugs. Because hugs are freaking AWESOME. Don't you love it when you go to hug someone, whether you haven't seen them for a while or they're at your doorstep with you and you are both saying goodnight? You're hugging and you hug them rather tightly and then they return the favor? I don't know about you, but it makes me feel better about myself, knowing that they actually care. Just throwing that out there. I think that this would also refer back to warm fuzzies, yeah?

This blog needs to pick it up a little bit, wouldn't you think? I think so too. :)

Puppy Love

This is my doggy, Porkchop. She's a red heeler, and she brings me much happiness :)

A Candid Photo

Nothing in my photography makes me happier than a candid photo. Seriously. I love catching happy moments and fun, exciting moments as well as loving ones. It's a great emotional bond to the moments that I happen to capture.

Andrew said something funny. Obviously.

Weddings

I absolutely adore weddings :) Seeing people with their special someone that makes them grin from ear to ear is probably one of the most beautiful things in the world. So below is probably one of the cutest wedding video things I've ever seen :) Enjoy the adorableness!

Missionary Letters.

Do I really need to explain this one?

Received a letter from my best friend. Made my entire week.

So grateful to have friends like him on missions. They make the world go round.

'Nuff said.

Being Creative

I absolutely love being in crafty moods. It just makes me happy. We were assigned to make portfolios for digital photography last week and I made mine today. You may laugh when I tell you how long it took me to make mine (a little under 2 hours) just because I put so much time and thought into it, and it has to be just right, ya know? I mean, it had to look professional and everything had to coordinate. Trust me... it coordinates. I will honestly confess that I am one of very few people in this world that can pull of putting stars and polka dots together. I just love it :) I LOVE having fun homework that I actually enjoy doing. It's a wonderful thing.

Awesome huh? :)
Sorry I don't have a picture of the inside. It coordinates as well!
It's not that fancy though, so no problem.
