30 Things Making Me Happy Right Now {List 2 :30}...

There has been so much going on here {beyond getting pulled over and what not} and I thought there would be no better way to touch on all of it than by banging out another list for my 30 Lists project.

30 Things Making Me Happy Right Now

1. Warm temperatures that have allowed us to be outside more than in this week.

2. Windows open just enough to let the sun kissed fresh air waft through the house

3. Watching Maya walk in the grass for the first time

4. Watching Maya explore the outdoors as if the world just got much, much bigger

5. Going for early morning walks after Rayne gets on the bus

6. Coming home from morning walks and enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee

7. Signs of Spring emerging here and there

8. Having Rayne console me about forgetting picture day at school "It's okay, Mom. I had this pretty purple shirt on and pictures were before snack time!"

9. Letting the sun shine in through the windows

10. Getting so much support for my decision to close up the soap shop

11. Selling off my inventory and earning a little money to invest in photography

12. Letting go of who I thought I was to embrace who I am

15. Writing...I'm seriously loving words right now and the process of stringing them together

21. Starting to think about ideas for Layla's four year photos
