Things I Love...

I LOVE my husband!

• I love spending time with my husband. Reading together, watching football, going out to dinner, even just sitting on the couch in contented silence.... I can't wait for him to come home every day.

• I love a clean bathroom. I deep cleaned our bathroom yesterday and it makes me happy every time I go in it!

•  I love clean floors. I also mopped our kitchen and entry way floors. It's amazing how a clean floor makes everything feel so much happier

• I love actually getting enough sleep. As I was still half asleep this morning I thought about how I used to sleep-starve myself and that now I am sleep-nourishing myself and love it!

• I admit... I love days I don't work so I CAN sleep in!

• I love sleeping in and still being productive throughout the day..

• I love chocolate and peanut butter. I think I'm addicted. 

• I love STUDYING my scriptures and having time to spend and hour or more with them!

• I love teaching. I'm preparing a Gospel Doctrine lesson for Sunday (Dave and I just got called as teachers) and I'm so excited about it!

• I love my family. I'm so grateful I am a Madsen AND a Romney. 

• I love my new coat. Dave gave it to me for Christmas. :)

• I love missionaries. Sometimes I wish I could go back and serve again... David and I have a few more years before we can go, but we will! Patience... be a member missionary!

• I love being fit. I'm not right now, but I started working out in December (we're working on getting started again) and it felt SO GOOD to do workouts that make my legs feel like jelly and make me feel like I'm going to throw up. There is something strangely satisfying about that.

• I love BYU-IDAHO. I'm all finished, which I am grateful for, but it was kind of sad not going back this semester.

• I love Greenbrier. (For those who don't know, I lived there for 4 of the 5 years I was at school.) I find myself missing it quite a lot sometimes. 

• I love reading books of my choice. Just finished 3 Cups of Tea right before Christmas. I highly recommend it! I'm now reading What the Dog Saw. (Dave got it for Christmas, it's a good one so far!)

• I love texting Rachel and Brooke song lyrics that only we understand. "I can't wait to hibernate!"; "Backpacks are my favourite food, they put me in a wonderful mood!"

• I love sunshine. I drove to the bank today and regretted it. It's warm for a winter day and there are beautiful blue skies. I could have easily walked and think I should have.... 

• I LOVE LIFE. It's great. I could keep on going, but I think I'll just end with that. :)
