1. The first thing that makes me happy is my husband Mike. We've been married for 10 years; together for 14 years. Although the stresses of life can weigh us down sometimes, I feel like all of our challenges make our marriage and relationship stronger. He can make me a little crazy at times but I still love him to pieces, he is my soul mate, he makes me happy and I hope that NEVER changes.

2. The second thing that makes me happy are my daughters. I always knew from a young age that I wanted to be a mom. I am so happy that God blessed me with such beautiful and healthy children. Being a parent isn't always easy but the joy they give me everyday is indescribable.

3. The third thing that makes me happy is my very large blended family. Between Mike & I we have quite a brood that we belong to! Although my parents are divorced and I am an only child I am certainly not a lonely child anymore... My Mom has yet to remarry but my Dad has. I have a Step Mom and 5 step-siblings ranging in age from 22-13 and my oldest step-sister Nicole just gave birth to her 1st baby girl Lexi earlier this week! My Dad and his family live in Atlanta and are able to visit us in Florida a couple times a year which always makes me happy. My Mom still lives in my hometown of Joliet, Il. where she takes care of my aging Grandma. Sadly, it's been 2 years since I've seen my Mom. I really miss her and nothing would make me happier than for her to visit me, Mike & our girls here in Florida... or for us to visit her again in Illinois... Then, there's Mike's family, the Schuth's are a joy to me. Mike's Mom & Dad have been married for 35 years (maybe 36?) and he has 2 younger sisters; Allison is married a great guy, also named Mike and just recently they blessed our family with their 1st son Cameron... and Mike's youngest sister Lauren is marrying her longtime boyfriend Gregg in just 2 short months! Our families are growing by leaps and bounds! It's been a gift for me to be part of the Copp, Tait and Schuth families. I love you all so much!

4. The fourth thing that makes me happy is my cat Gringo. I adopted him right after Mike and I got married, he is the sweetest cat in the whole world!
Look at those mits!
5. The fifth thing that makes me happy is my best friend Jackie. She and I became friends 10 years ago when we were both working at Dillards. We are truly 2 peas in a pod. Our birthdays are back to back so we have a lot in common. (cancers through and through) Jackie is like a sister to me, she's always there for me, even if it's to listen to me gripe about my day. Her friendship is a blessing, I don't know what I would do without her!
Bestfriends forever! Jackie & me!
6. The sixth thing that makes me happy is time to myself. I have been a stay at home mom for 2 years so time to myself helps me preserve my sanity! Whether it's uninterrupted hour on my computer or a trip to Target or the beach, I truly need and love having time to myself! I wish I had more of it! That would REALLY make me happy! :)

Great pics! Thanks for sharing! :)
Okay Melanie, I plan on doing this, but it might take me awhile. I'm just getting used to my blog. I don't have many photos scanned yet, and all my digital ones are from just a few years.
Thanks for sharing your photos and thoughts. I love looking and reading it.
Take your time Lyndsey! It took me a week to do mine after my friend Lauren tagged me! Thank you for reading my blog! I enjoy your's too!
