Moments of happiness

Inspired by another post on moments of happiness via design scouting; I've decided to compile my own moments of happiness.

Current moments of happiness (or rather, most recently as well)
Sharing a Milky Way with the BFF.
Eating my favorite burger with my favorite people: the Big Brother, Benster, the BFF.
Reading and eating Bunny Peeps.
Studying for my CSETs, really a pain, but it means I'm one step closer to becoming a teacher!
Ordering new "teacher" clothes online and a nice wallet!
Drinking a Mexican Pepsi!
Gym time with the BFF.
Finally figuring out how to deadlift, Pendlay row, and squat correctly.
Officially registered for the Nike Women's Marathon in SF!

Now for moments of happiness from the past:
Graduating from Georgetown.
Being accepted into the Rossier School of Education at USC.
Traveling in Europe.
Laying in bed with a very special person and just spending hours cuddling.
Taking a road trip to NorCal and SF with said above person and walking copious amounts of miles. And, sharing one too many laughs the entire trip.
Meeting and welcoming my first nephew into the world. Actually getting to hold him for the first time after months of just seeing him via Skype.
Participating in the Vagina Monologues.
Indulging in an Ily latte or mocha.
Walking through the streets of DC with no particular direction.
Learning to cook dinner with said very special person from above. Turns out you do need spices to the meat to make a patty melt taste good. :)

I must remember to focus on the moments of happiness and not let my past experiences ruin everything that lies ahead of me. So you hear that ugly, nasty images I will not let you bring me down. Because I am stronger, tougher, and smarter than to let you bring me down and intimidate me into being a submissive, vulnerable woman. I will and I am going to conquer you.
