love

In honor of the day of love I reflect back on things I've loved over the years:

As a kid I loved:

• horses
• mystery books
• bubble gum icecream (my mom hardly ever let us have gum, and this way I thought I was legitimately cheating)

As a teenager I loved:

• an assortment of odd ball boys (the word "love" is a stretch here)
• the independence of driving
• going to the mall
• working at Valley Sports (my first venture into the adult world)

As a college student I loved:

• my assortment of friends, most of whom I met as a Freshman and am still friends with.
• going to BYU, being there was so fun. Classes though, were another story.
• meeting Stick, but not getting married until 5 years later
• late night runs for treats, usually chocolate
• going to the movies at midnight and not thinking a thing of it

As a mother, wife I love:

• always having my favorite person in the world at my side
• the neverending love of my kids, despite my mothering mishaps
