Over at Kelly's Korner, this week's topic of "Show Us Your Life" is "Things that you love/that make you happy".
How in the world can I put everything that I love in one blog post?!
I finally decided to narrow it down to just 25 things for this. These are in random order.
1. My family and friends.
2. My students.
3. My co-workers down in the lower pod (our little k-1st-2nd part of the school).
4. The beach
5. North Carolina - my home state
6. The Cheesecake Factory
7. Starbucks- especially the Java Chip Frappucino or Cafe Mocha.
8. Jewelry- I am obsessed with David Yurman right now but it his stuff so isn't in my budget!
9. Shoes
10. Purses
11. Makeup and Hair stuff
12. Shopping- I LOVE sales! I just realized that I am such a girly girl!!
13. The Internet - especially Facebook and blogs
14. My precious dogs (Patsy and Jacob)
15. PJs
16. Chocolate Covered Strawberries
17. Pink (and green too!)
18. Sonic Cherry Limeades - actually anything from Sonic!
19. Manicures and Pedicures (especially pedicures!)
20. Having my hair washed at the salon.
21. My cell phone - I do want to love a new Iphone though! Ha ha
22. Children's Books- that could be another blog post in itself

Show Us Your Life - FUTURE Children's Names
Disclaimer-- We are NOT expecting a baby!! I'm only participating in "Show Us Your Life" over at Kelly's Korner Blog. Just had to add that in so no one gets too excited. Ha ha!!
I wanted to participate in Kelly's "Show Us Your Life" this week because I love baby names. I love hearing about people's children's names and how they came up with them.
Since Mat and I were dating, we've talked about children. We already have names that we love so when we decide to have kids, we are ready!
Girl Names
*Mackenzie Richmond
I think this is probably our favorite girl name. One of Mat's maternal grandfather's relatives was "McKinley". I love that name but Mat isn't too fond of it so changed it just a little to Mackenzie. Richmond is a family name on Mat's father's side of the family. I think it is such a great southern name and I love having a family name.
*Savannah James
We love the name Savannah for two reasons: 1)Savannah, GA is my favorite city in the world! 2)Back when Mat worked for the YMCA, there was a little girl there named "Savannah". Mat fell in love with the name and I think it is great too. James is Mat's father's middle name. Yes, I love it for a girl!!
Other names I love (not necessarily ones that we have talked a lot about):
*Naomi - this is my middle name and Mat's maternal grandmother's name. For the longest time I hated my middle name. Now that I'm older, I LOVE it!
*Sophie/Sophia- no particular reason I love these names. I just think they're pretty.
*Amelia - my favorite children's book character ("Amelia Bedelia")
Boy Names
*Hamilton Foard
We absolutely love this name! Hamilton is Mat's mom's maiden name. When I worked at a daycare in college, there was a little boy named "Hamilton". I came home that first day and said we had to use that name!! I love using last names as first names. Foard is Mat's middle name and a family name. We've always known that we would use it as a son's middle name.
We better not have more than one son because we can't decide on any other names. Ha ha!
These are some other boy names that I like:
*Max- another favorite children's book character ("Max" in "Where the Wild Things Are"). I also love this name because Mat's dad is "Mac", Mat is "Mat" (duh!), and a son could be "Max".
As you can tell, we like using family names and names that have a lot of meaning for us. Naming a child is such a special part of being a parent and we want to be sure that our children's names are very special and perfect! I can't wait until God blesses us as parents!!

Happy Birthday Mat!!
Today is my husband's 28th birthday! Wow, we're getting old!!
There are many things I'd like to thank him for on his special day!
Thank you for...
*Getting up early every morning and taking care of the dogs.
*Overlooking the fact that my shoes and clothes are everywhere in our room.
*Not minding that I'm not a neat freak or cleaning fanatic.
*Doing the dishes all the time.
*Listening to me talk about my students all the time.
*Sticking with me through good times and bad.
*Being with me the past 8 years!
There are many more things but I tend to forget things when I go to type them.
Have a wonderful birthday!!
I LOVE YOU!
