A Year to be Thankful Day "I Don't Know Because I Stopped After a Month": Three Things That Make Me Happy

In a time where I feel it's hard to be thankful, I have to remember that others have it worse off than I do.  It's been a while since I posted (see the title above) this list because I, well, I just got too busy, I'd forget to post or I became too lazy. Here goes.....

1. For the first time in 11 years I have a Disneyland Pass. My hubby of 10 years surprised me with this for our anniversary in June. 

2. As much as I get annoyed with him, I am married to a good man. I realized that my first visit back to Disneyland. He does his best to try and make me happy. 

3. My air conditioning went out and I have to get it repaired. It's going to be expensive, but I feel I can get through it. It's making me a stronger person to know that I can figure it out. No one wants to spend the money, but we'll be ok.

P.S. I'm trying to complain less. How can anyone be upset when they get to come home to this sweet boy! Next post will have pictures of the other dog, Mia (Mama Mia).

3. I had a fantastic time in Hollywood Hills last night with my friends and hubby! What a gorgeous view from Yamashiro. My husband and I celebrated our 8th anniversary there two years ago. We heard that it was closing to make way for homes. Thank goodness someone saved this beautiful Hollywood landmark. This makes three visits for me overall.

A Year to be Thankful Day 13: Three Things That Make Me Happy

On my lucky number 13 day, here are the things that improved my happiness.

1.  My husband and I got to see some officers in action in Seal Beach. While nothing about the upcoming story I'm truly happy about, I'm just very interested in police work and investigations. Apparently a party bus of people vandalized a CVS and robbed a person in the parking lot. All horrible things of course. We were stuck in the traffic on PCH, so cars started pulling over, and people got out to watch. It was all very exciting. To get us all out of the traffic, we had to drive on the wrong side of the road.
