My Life on an Island

Let me give you an idea of what happiness is to me right now:

1. Waking up to a home-cooked meal.
2. Hidden candy stashes
3. Endless supplies of Mint Chocolate-Chip Ice Cream
4. Everyone wanting to sit by you at the dinner table...to the point of argumentation
5. A little boy running around in his halloween costume...prematurely. He never wants to get out of that dinosaur suit
6. Pushing a dino on a swing at 8 in the morning...while the sun is still rising.
7. Family laughing at all of your jokes, whether these are funny or just plain dumb.
8. Mom always knowing what's best.
9. Dad coming home for lunch to spend it with you.
10. Wild blackberries around every corner you turn
11. Beach and mountains all in one area.
12. Photographers buffet all over the island.
13. Creepy wind chimes that sound in the wind
14. Every long missed movie at my fingertips.
15. Little sisters begging you to get married only so they have the opportunity to wear a pretty dress.
16. Brother calling you small stuff even though you're older
17. A blonde little girl with kind eyes looking up to you in every essence of the word "idle."
18. That same little girl holding your hand where ever you go.
19. Useless random facts shot off by the 17 yr old brother.
20. Passion for BYU sports
21. Hugs
22. Kisses
23. Regardless what you look like in the morning, everyone greets you with a smile
24. Surprises
25. Couches comfier than apartment beds.

And the list could continue. I love being here.
