Things for Happiness: Week 8

What a week, y'all... I know that this is a day late, but I'm going to go ahead and blame that on the fact that I had an extremely long weekend and thus messed up my sense of time... :)

So here are the things making me happy this week (in no particular order):

1. Beautiful, beautiful nature. Living in Texas for school often makes me forget that the weather is capable of changing from blue skies and sunshine to an occasional cloudy day or bit of precipitation. These awesome clouds were above my darling Kylie's house as we stayed with her parents for two days during the long weekend.
2. Lea, the beautiful quarter horse. I got to ride her on Monday - it was my first-ever horseback riding experience, and while I thought I was going to be terrified, I actually had a blast! I can't wait to go back and ride again - way too much fun.
3. The crew (minus two). We had an amazing Sunday at the lake with Kylie's parents. We went out on their ski boat, tubed, and I attempted to water ski... I almost got up, but not quite. Regardless of that, I had so much fun - that weekend is definitely in my top five favorite weekends of all time, hands down.
4. Shelby! She doesn't get nearly enough love on this blog because she's always running around, busy as a bee. Today was our first home football game against Southeastern Louisiana, and it was so awesome getting the chance to finally hang out and chat with her. Roommates since freshman year, and best friends for life, for sure.
5. Jack! This precious little guy is Kylie's puppy, and I absolutely fell in love with him while we stayed at Kylie's parents' place for a few days during the weekend. He's sweet as sugar, and loves getting loving!

Also, honorable mention for someone making me happy this week - if you're reading this, you know who you are, and you really brightened my entire week. Great way to spend a Wednesday & Thursday night, and an entire Friday. :)

What's making y'all happy this week?
