HEART {30 Days of Writing} - or WHAT DO I LOVE?

I just asked the boys the question "What do you think mommy loves?" Here is what they said...

Brady - "Hugs, kisses, and games. Now I want a hug and kiss mom." 

Logan - "Ice-cream, Movie theatres, us, and God."

Carter - "Us, God, Daddy."

They were all pretty right on, other than the ice-cream and movie theatre thing, but I think those come b/c we happened to have done them last week! And to be fair, I'm not super huggy but with the boys I am.

So, what do I love?? In no particular order.

1. First and foremost, God

2. Dallas

3. Carter, Logan, and Brady, aka The Boys

4. Our parents and brothers and sister-in-laws and nieces and nephews

5. Our Grandparents and uncles and aunts and cousins - family is important

6. Friends near and far

7. A real talk with a person, more than just surface things

8. Coffee

9. Iced Coffee

10. Coke

11. Burning candles

12. Music

13. Art - in several different forms

14. Visiting family or friends

15. Paraguay - the food, the drinks, the people, the country

16. Canada - ditto to the above

17. Mexico - again, ditto to the above

18. Colorful things

19. Relaxing or doing things with the boys

20. Laughing with Dallas

21. Board games

22. Water activities

23. Reading

24. The smells of grass, coffee, and rain

25. Road trips or plane trips

26. Looking forward to things

27. Remembering good things in the past

28. Enjoying the present

29. A thought provoking devo book

30. The Psalms

31. Figuring out language (mostly just Spanish - English is not fun to try and figure out!) and cultures in general

32. Studying something

33. Numbers

34. House decor that has meaning or memories

35. Skyping

36. Camping

37. Seeing people realize new truths about God

38. Doing weird or new things with people you can totally be yourself with

Did you make it this far?? I notice and realize that when I try to think of specific activities that I enjoy, I usually think "it depends on who I'm doing it with". Relationships are key to me, to me it's far more important who I am with than what exactly I'm doing.

Anyway, on that note it's time to do some things I love, and some I don't love quite so much. Drink coffee, hang out with the boys, and do the laundry....
