These are a few of my Favorite things........

Yesterday was partially spent in trying to make my bedroom look LESS like and explosion and more like a room where only 1 person lives and another has things neatly organized and stored........yeah right. lol But as I was going through things I was reminded of how I've changed.........somehow or another the past year has been the time of a lot of growing up on my part. Going through all of my stuff I remembered the things that were my favorite......perhaps they aren't anymore but a few are. So I thought I'd do a post on my favorite things.........this could take a while. ;D (they are NOT listed in order of favoritism.......that would be hard to do)

1) A well used Bible........I never know quite what notes I left for myself. =)
2) Sermon notes found in random notebooks that have gone with me to the Wilds. I wasn't aware I still had them!
3) Pictures. I have pictures in scrap books, in a camera yet to be developed, in photo books, randomly stuck different places........yes, pictures are one of my favorites. They remind you of the moment they were taken and the people they were taken with. =)
4) music stuff........I was cleaning off my desk and found stuff from All-State last year. It sounds so odd to say last year......lol My room has all kinds of music stuff though.....programs, music (for several different instruments), lyrics, a clarinet, a stand......the list could go on I'm sure.
5) Well worn cowboy boots. I've always loved cowboy boots since I was a little squirt and managed to get the ones that my brother had outgrown. We actually found some that fit (don't ask) at the beginning of last semester. My mother was rather surprised by the wear and tear I can put on a pair of boots in just one semester. Hoping that they last another.........
6) Piano. I've played since I was 5 and to not be able to play for longer than a week makes me sad. It's what I enjoy, what I'm (possibly) good at, and it happens to be my major in college.
7) Time with friends. It's invaluable and irreplaceable. God has blessed me with some of the most amazing friends EVER.
8) Dr Pepper. No debating, it just is lol
9) Passing grades. They're a wonderful thing to have. =D
10) Sleep. One never gets it at college, sadly.
11) A sense of Humor. To put up with me one is required.
12) Books. I love to read, but rarely have the time any more. To work in a building with over a quarter million books and not be able to read any of them.......is epically saddening.
13) Bright colors. Ignoring the fact that I love brown and wear a lot of it, I actually do love bright colors. Hence the bright purple shirt I am wearing currently.
14) Silver jewelry.........give me silver instead of gold. =)
15) Emails. B/c they are my link to the outside world while at school.
16) Mail in my box at school. What's not to love about it? It brings a smile to my face, always.
17) Letters in general. Old ones and new, they're amazing. When I read one I can imagine the person that wrote it talking to me.......plus, lots of times I just like being able to see what we were talking about all over again. An option that verbal communication doesn't have.
18) Late night conversations........they tend to cover the most interesting things!
19) An amazing church family worth missing while I'm at school.
20) Friends. Old and new, at home and away, crazy or mostly sane.
21) Scooby Doo. I still like watching it and I still like Scooby Doo things. =)

I think I'm done now..........though that is NOT all of my favorite things. Just a short list. Now what trouble shall I get into I wonder.............
