These are a Few of my Favorite Things.

As I was unpacking this afternoon... pulling things out of boxes, unwrapping them out of their newspaper wrappings, surpising myself with some things I had forgotten about. There are just certain items that are some of my favorite things that I own, they make me feel so happy when I see them. So I gathered a few and decided to blog about them.


my pink coffee cup: a going away present from my dear friend Christina, I cherish it for four reasons: it is pink, it usually contains coffee, it is from a good friend, and because it indicates how well she knows me. Which to be known is one of the best things in the world.

my blue scarf: this scarf holds bittersweet memories for me, but I love how it pulls the blue from my eyes, and it reminds me that even though some relationships have to end, that it doesn't mean you stop caring about that person

Peach iced tea: it is my favorite drink, I fell in love with it in Seattle on vacation with my family almost 3 years ago staying in a beautiful cottage on the water. Good memories, deliciousness!

a bottle of vitamins: a reminder that my mom is still my mom and still takes care of me, even after I've long ago passed the adult mile-marker

a pink candle in cracked glass: it reminds me of the simple blessing it was working at Yankee Candle, how God provides, i love pink, and I love the sweet cherry blossom scent it gives off when I light it

Cold Tangerines: one of my favorite books that I keep with me always to read a chapter or two and remind myself to celebrate each day, to celebrate the little things in life and to stop waiting for my life to begin. Thank you Shauna Nieqhist for your beautiful words.

Set: one of my FAVORITE games. I'm a gamer, and this is a visual puzzle of sorts, I could play it all day long. I have fond memories of playing it up at camp this summer...

My CD remote: there's something about owning a remote control that I love. And I love my CD player, because of the sound quality, I can put a CD in it, and just blare the music so loud I can get lost in it. It has traveled with me to every single place I've lived and always provided comfort in a way that only music can. (i did lose that remote for a brief period of time, but fortunately found it again when I moved... again)

my knife: I'm a girley-girl (hence all the pink, girly things I've been describing), but I also pride myself on my ability to get dirty, to work hard, to sweat, and to do things that most girls don't do. One of those things is to carry a knife. I spent 6 months of my life, when I got ready in the morning, I put a nextel on my belt, my keys on my belt-loop and a knife in my pocket. No make-up, no hair straightener - just me and my knife. (and I used it on a regular basis!)

My Lill clutch: it was my present from my sister when I was maid of honor in her wedding, I treasure it and all the memories that encompass it!

My Little Miss Naughty pen: I just love the mocking name of it, and I love those little people, they remind me of my childhood. It is from my good friend Laurie back home, and she gave it to me as part of my going away present and I love the randomness of it and I love laurie!


Those are just a few of my favorite things...
