Life is beautiful. We love until we die.

Oh how true. This life is so very lovely, despite the twists and turns and breaks and burns. I have a lot to be thankful for this week, so let’s get to it!

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• Seeing off Felicite and Jessica. And by “smile” I mean “cry a thousand oceans.”
• Coming home to Michael Hoffman and consequently home made bread!
• Sugar-free hazelnut soy lattes.
• “My name is Lindsay, I’m 25, and my favorite J-Hi moment ever is…”
• SKITTLES!
• Spending quality time with my j-hi students and leaders.
• Fun Station laser tag! Even though it was a bazillion degrees.
• Unexpected hang outs and alcohol consumption with old friends.
• Apples to Apples. ALWAYS.
• Spontaneous compliments.
• Spending the morning with my love.
• The Breakfast Club bible study.
• Student Ministry open house.
• The senior high leaders.
• Twitter secrets.
• Hanging out with Trisha, Chrissie, and Angie for wedding planning (even though I can’t tie a bow for beans and am therefore essentially useless, haha.)
• Going out to dinner with my love.
• Chips and salsa.
• Friends’ birthdays! Yay Libby and Randy!
• Finnegan’s Wake.
• Blushing.
• Sacrificing sleep for fun things.
• Matt, Tyler, and Cherish!
• Wine.
• Salmon.
• Jeopardy.
• Talking about literature. (And humorously bashing Twilight.)
• My husband. Seriously. He makes me laugh so much.

• Everyone is back in town.

Phew, now it’s your turn! What do you love?
