Happy Thoughts

So I'm going for a lighter post today. It took me a while to figure out if I wanted to post a specific story or come up with something else. I think I will save the happy stories for another day and just go with some random things about myself and my life.

• I'm married to my best friend. We've been together 10 years and know each other really well. We love to laugh. We started dating when I was 17 and him 19, we've "grown up" together.  It hasn't always been easy, or fun but he's home.
• We have a dog. He's terribly spoiled and we love him to pieces. 
• I'm Italian and LOVE to cook. I love trying out new recipes, ingredients. I tend to be more adventurous in my tastes, but have successfully worn him down over the years and can get him to try most anything now. Although he still doesn't like sushi and its one of my favorites.
• I love to travel. I have been to many places, Italy when I was 16, Amsterdam, Canada all over the place, Mexico, Guatemala, the Cayman Islands, Key West, many places in the states. The list of places I'd still like to visit at least once is seriously long. Not all exotic or far away places either, there are plenty of those on the list though. We haven't been too many places together and would Love to share them with my husband.
• I've known my two best girlfriends since Kindergarten. We can go for really long times with out talking and then get together and its like we spoke yesterday. I call their parents Mom and Dad. I love them!
• I'm a tomboy and have always had more guy friends then girl friends. Still do. 
• In high school I was a band geek. Captain of the flag line. Editor of the yearbook senior year. I took 4 years of Italian. Was in a few musicals. And got pretty good grades.
• I love photography and taking pictures, but am horrible about getting pictures of hubs and I together. I still have empty picture frames on the wall in our family room and a few unfinished scrapbooks.
• We love to watch movies. There's a drive-in near us that we go to all summer for double features that makes for a great date night. We have collected a shit-ton of dvd's and have finally graduated to netflix.
• My favorite color is orange
• I love HoHos (the little debbie kind) and Ice Cream (lots of kinds).
• I like girly drinks but will have the occasional corona with lime
• I like classical music
• I read like mad and enjoy romance books especially M/M, historical, and paranormal.

That's enough for now I think. And its getting a little hard to talk about myself, so see ya later.
