About Me

I love...
Alphabetizing. Babies (especially ones related to me). Baking cookies. Being pleasantly surprised. Candles. Chicago. Chocolate. Cities. Concerts. Day dreaming. Dresses. Editing. Flip flops. Flowers. Great friends. Happiness. Layering. Lazy Sundays. Learning new things. Looking at pictures. Loving movies before I've seen them. M&Ms. Making lists. Miniature things. Mix CDs. Music. My family. My little red car. My new winter coat. My Shabby Chic bed. Non-smoking places. Organizing. Puppies. Rain when it's warm outside. Really soft blankets. Reconnecting with old friends. Riding on the train. Rolled down car windows in the summer. Sarcasm. Seasons. Shopping. Sleeping. Snow when it's cold outside. Socks that aren't white. Sweaters. Taking pictures. Target. The internet. The scent of rain. Things that match. Thinking of all of the things that I love. Walking. Waves for Everyone.
