This blog is being interrupted because I've been sick for-freaking-EVER and I need to cheer myself up by thinking of things that make me happy soooo here's a list.
- Macaroni and cheese with BBQ sauce
- When missionaries also put BBQ sauce on their mac n' cheese and my family is amazed I'm not the only one -- HA!
- Getting to take the sacrament on the actual exact five year anniversary of the first time I ever took the sacrament <3 <3 <3
- The JOY I felt on my 5 year dunkdayversary. I wasn't expecting that.
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf talks. Like this one. Duuuude. So good.
- Remembering that time Camille was really confused about why I asked if Dieter F. Uchtdorf was overweight #bestinvestigatorever
- Talking with members of my stake presidency. Oh man. So good. I totally word vomited about how bad I am at my calling and he took it like a champ and told me all the stuff I needed to hear.
- My cat, Chessie. I'm allergic to cats and I did not want to become this cat's human, but she's the boss. She's watched me sleep almost every night since I got pneumonia. If I cough too much she bites me.
- The youth in my branch. They're some of the most amazing kids with some really serious trials. I wish I was better at helping them, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from them.
- Texting my all-time best friend after accidentally ignoring him for months and remembering that no matter how long we may go without talking and how many dumb things either of us do, he'll always be one of my best friends.
- Trinity's absolute adoration of Stargate Atlantis (and legitimate fear of Dr. Rush on SGU)
- The emails Elder Blakley and Trinity send each other. ("What's up Elder Dude! It's your true homie Trinity!") SO FREAKING CUTE
- That Mormon Facebook group I accidentally helped create/became the admin of when I was a LARC in early 2012... it's the best. Srsly. I love my internet Morms.
- PEACH PIE
- The fact that Taco Bell exists in the world even though it doesn't exist near me and I couldn't really eat it anyway... it exists, and that brings me joy.
- Ditto for Cafe Rio
- Essential oils that help with nausea
- The appreciation for the small things in life that naturally comes as a result of being chronically ill. For example, lately I feel joyful almost every time I get to go outside.
- Talking to WVCM RMs. Even when we don't talk much, it makes me happy just to exchange a few words. Being a ward missionary in Motown was pretty much the best experience of my life and I love(d) those full-time missionaries like siblings... which I mean they kind of are... so it fits.
- My grandma Eleanor. She's the best person I know. She's been through a lot in life but she has an adventurer's spirit and one of the most humble and loving hearts in the universe. AND I inherited my love of pranking from her. If I somehow miraculously ever have a daughter she's def going to be named after her, FYI to my highly hypothetical future hubs.
- When my friends get married. I used to be kinda salty because a lot of Morms dump their single friends when they get married, but dude. My friends have some of the best marriages I've ever seen, and it's so amazing to see them meeting and developing relationships with the people who are going to be their teammates forever. ANNNND it's a great filter to see who really loves me because only the "true homies" stay friends once they get engaged. S'ALL GOOD.
- Missionaries playing with puppies
- Lularoe... #obsessed and #unashamed (but not leggings. never leggings.)
- Seeing all the changes in myself in the past 7ish years
- When I use words like "legit" and Trin tells me I'm too old for slang
- Unfollowing political pages on Facebook
- Banana flavored popsicles
- The Unicorns (plus Talyn). No specifics here. Everything about them. They're the best.

| This is not all of the Unicorns, but we've never all been together at once sooo. |
