Mickey Mouse. Enough said. :-)

15. Isabella

 

Her. My absolute joy in life. Although she makes me want to slam my head into a brick wall more often than not, I wouldn't changer her for anything. She is my 4-year old going on 14. I never know what is going to come out of her mouth next and she completely makes me laugh. I have been a single parent since she was 4 months old, and even though it has been the biggest struggle of my life I couldn't ask for more. I continue to look at her every day in awe that she's mine and the little girl she is turning into. She's amazing. <3

 

 



14. Josh Groban

This guy. My future husband. Need I say more?  But really, I love his music and his personality is great (and he's not bad to look at). I am very excited that he will be my 4-year olds first concert this November when he comes to Houston. I play his music so much that she knows him by name and even sings along with his songs. So yeah, not much more to say. :-)

 

13. Accomplishment

This. The greatest accomplishment of my life. Today I graduated with a diploma as a medical assistant. That silver cord I'm wearing, yeah, that's an honor cord. I graduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.67. It's such an amazing feeling to have finally found my calling in life. It turns out I am pretty good in the medical field, and I already have an awesome job with an awesome boss and co-workers. This makes me happy. This means that life is getting back on track. This means a better life for my little girl.

12. Laughter

Who doesn't feel happy with laughter? Even when you're feeling down how can you not feel delight when a friend manages to get a laugh out of you? I feel amazing when I laugh so hard my sides hurt. Or when I laugh and get a snort, which then makes me laugh even harder. Laughter is contagious. Even if you don't know what someone is laughing about you could very well join them in fits of giggles. There is nothing like the sound of children's laughter. The innocence in it. Children don't know about worry so their laughter is nothing but pure joy. It's perfect.

11. The Script

These guys. They are Irish and they're hot. Need I say more? Seriously, though. I know they have been around for a few years, but I have just now really started getting into their music. I like it, a lot. Especially If You Could See Me Now and Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am. Their lyrics tell amazing and real stories. Have I mentioned that they're Irish and hot? I have a thing for Irish guys. Absolutely amazing.

10. Camping

While I haven't been camping in many years, I love it. It's the smell of the trees and the earth. The scent of the campfire and the warmth it emits. Growing up my family had a boat, so camping would consist of camping near a lake and having boating fun. I would love riding my bike around the campground;  hearing the sounds of all the activity, the different scents from other camp sites, laughter. I have may fond memories of camping with my family and I can't wait to make some new memories of camping with my daughter.
