10 Things that make me happy

Yesterday, I had so many thoughts about How I Met Your Mother that I forgot about the topic for the Blog Every Day challenge. I obviously haven't been doing every prompt, but I had been planning on doing the happiness one all along because duh, happiness is kinda the theme of this whole blog. And I'm a rule-breaker and stuff, so I'm posting it today.

10 things that make me happy:

1. Macaroni and cheese. You guys, I eat a lot of mac and cheese... like... a lot. It's my favorite. Hands down. 
2. Buying new fingernail polish. Garrett thinks that I already have every color and I don't need more, but you can never have too many colors, right? Right. 
3. Stripes. I love stripes, you guys. On anything. Phone cases. Shirts. My fingernails. Scarves. Anything. My closet is so stripe-heavy. You guys would laugh. 
4. Hugs. There are few things better than a big hug from someone you love. 
5. Sending and receiving mail. I love writing letters and notes to people. And if you've ever sent me a card, I promise I still have it. 
6. Pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. You can ask anyone that knows me in real life. I start counting down to PSL day months in advance. They are my favorite thing in the entire world. 
7. Inside jokes. I don't have too many friends anymore (you know, adulthood), so I treasure the friendships that I have very much. Having secrets and inside jokes is silly, but they're special to me. 
8. "Just saying hi!" texts. Knowing someone is thinking about me always makes me all warm and fuzzy.
9. The Backstreet Boys Pandora station. I'm known for blasting boy band music all the time. I'm also kind of known for being perpetually stuck in 1999. Not sorry 'bout it.
10. My iPhone. Sometimes it still blows me away that I have a tiny device in my hand that can connect me with my fiancé 4.5 hours away, teach me about the Great Wall of China, identify the new song on the radio, and keep me updated on news all around the world. It's crazy, right?
