1. Blogs. I've had a few friends recently start new blogs, or start blogging more. It's a great way for me to feel more in touch with people and I love it.

2. American Idol auditions. This is actually my favorite part of American Idol. Isn't it bad that I like to laugh at people making a fool out of themselves?! I guess I'm not the only one though- and that's why its on TV.

3. Hugs. Lately Dekker really wraps his arms around me and squeezes when I first pick him up and just snuggles in. Is there anything more sweet? I'm really not sure.

4. "I love you SO much!" Another sweet thing- this time from Josh. This is a phrase that is said over and over again in our home. Can't hear too much of it if you ask me. I remember when I couldn't wait for the day when he would spontaneously say this to me- and I don't think I'll ever tire of it now that he does!

5. Water. Yep- good old H2O. Can't live without it.
