I love...growing in my faith, my family and friends, teaching first grade, all kinds of music, movies, playing video games, going to concerts, musicals, playing poker, diet cherry coke, gummi bears, coffee houses, chilling in Rice Village, football (the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns!), basketball (Rockets and Spurs!), baseball (Go Astros!), Brad Ausmus, all kinds of dancing, singing(in the car, in the shower...anywhere really!), reading, writing, traveling, Barnes and Noble, playing pool, strawberries, laughing, driving, cooking, baking, taking pictures, the beach, the mountains, poetry, playing guitar, karaoke, meeting new people, comedy clubs, working out, museums, art galleries, learning new things, and experiencing new things. All these things make me smile.
