A few of my favorite things

1. Hugs from my boys (especially the ones that turn into wrestling hugs on the floor intermixed with the melody of their giggles)

2. Cheesecake of any flavor!!

3. Watching my boys pretend to be Jedi knights knowing that in their innocent imaginations, they truly are Jedi knights.

4. Quite moments spent with my husband after the boys have gone to bed

5. Reading a good book

6. That rush of security and peace I feel the rare moments that both kids are sleeping and I crawl into my warm bed on a cold day.

7. Coming over the point of the mountain and looking down onto Utah valley and that feeling of being at home again.

8. The feeling of being in the temple

9. Being together with family and laughing

10. Watching my children and seeing them progress in their lives and the excitement of wondering what greatness will come in their future.
