Things that make me happy

1. It is going to be below 80 degrees today, which means I am wearing my new pair of gray suede boots.

2. Cooler weather means it's almost fall, which makes me a happy lady because of:
       2a. boots (see above), scarves, hats, sweaters
       2b. chai tea & lattes, warm apple cider
       2c. foliage

3. I start work at the Grad Clinic next week, meaning I will be getting paid to give massages.. finally!

4. I will also be interning with my previous instructor Masha, for the level 1 practical class. Excited doesn't even describe it.

5. Just celebrated 3yrs with my man and future husband, and he bought us a real bottle of champagne to celebrate (no Andre for special occasions, no sir!)

6. My mom is getting married in a week and a half and I couldn't be happier for her or her future husband.
       6a. I won't get annoyed when people inevitably ask "So when are YOU getting engaged/married Steph?" because I HAVE AN ANSWER THIS TIME. Booya.
       6b. I get 'siblings' (step-wise) for the first time ever.

7. I am going to Philly to see some of my best buddies on Saturday; this doesn't happen often enough.


Anyone else just overall happy about some things right now?? I find it very mood-boosting to write these things down, especially when some other things aren't going quite right. Happy Tuesday, all!
