happiness is...
Welcome to Happiness Is! Today I'm going to put up a MckLinky...the rules are simple. Just write a post with two things that made you happy this week and link up! Please link directly to your post, and not your blog, and please link back to me so others can join in the fun!

Let's get started!

Happiness is...


...walking into the living room to see this. It cracked me up...and she had never even heard the song before! (She's pretending to sing the song)


...finding a peach tree in our yard! These are still "baby" peaches that had already fallen off the tree, but hopefully we'll be getting ripe peaches this summer...mmm.

magnolia flowers

I'm sorry. I can't help but post pictures of flowers. Well, at least I'll have something to look at when, you know, it's 102 outside and we're about to die from the heat. Yep. I'm enjoying spring while I can.

raw(e)

This week's Raw(e) theme is "This Week" - you can enter in any photo that you've taken this week. Of course, that made this a little harder to find a picture since there wasn't a specific category it had to be in.

While we were at an outdoor mall yesterday, I snapped this picture of Lilly by a fountain... 



There's something about the blue of the water that draws me in. It's so cool and serene...two things I definitely need during this crazy week of finals, graduations, and overall business. 

To learn more about Raw(e) go here to the first "edition". Want to enter in your own "This Week" photo? Head over here to Sailor and Company to link up.

PS Tomorrow I'm going to try to start a blog hop...I'm putting up a MckLinky with my Happiness Is post. Just a head's up in case you want to join ;)
weekend


I had a lovely weekend. 

On Saturday I slept in and had wonderful waffles for breakfast, courtesy of the best cook - my mom. Later I went shopping (where I lost my beautiful wedges) and MeMe's friend came over to spend the night. We ordered pizza (You should try the spinach alfredo deluxe pizza from Papa John's...mmm. Mushrooms, bacon, cheese, onions, and spinach all packaged neatly on top of a yummy crust. Seriously.) and I stayed up too late.

After church on Sunday, my mom and I went to a ballet end-of-the-year performance, in which my friend and her two little sisters were in. It was amazing. Afterwards, we all went to the river - where we saw four of the guys that were in the ballet performance an hour earlier playing Frisbee. I didn't say hi. I'm not that much of a creep! :) 
There were also two evil ice cream trucks. And, just like I said, little children ran from the playground as fast as they could to the truck. I saw people getting Tweety Bird ice cream. Grr. But, it's their choice and therefore none of my business if they decide to get Tweety Bird...but that doesn't mean that I can't agree with their choice. Right? Right. That's my answer and I'm sticking too it.

I digress.

When we got home from the river, I did homework. Lots of it. You'd think with exams next week they'd let off of homework a bit...but nope. Here's to hoping I can make it to the end of the school year. One. More. Week. 

How was your weekend?
