100 Happy Days {Part 3}

I'm a day behind in getting my 100 Happy Days update posted. My excuse is that I've just been too busy being happy to get this update written (not that I was too tired after work and class...).

Here are some things that made me happy this week:

Day 23: I started packing for my week long trip to Louisville. I also started watching Scandal and was completely hooked after 20 minutes.

Day 24: Weather kept me inside on the treadmill for my run. I was totally cool with it though because I got to watch another episode of Scandal.

Day 25: The 6.5 hour drive is never fun, but getting home and hanging out with my parent's and Justin always makes me happy.

Day 26: Strawberry Festival 5K in Starlight, IN. I beat my goal time, took 1st place in my age group, and ate a gigantic strawberry shortcake.

Day 27: I hate living so far away from this girl. I was so glad we got to spend time together and go shopping!

Day 28: Justin and I went down to Bernheim Forest to scope out spots for our engagement photos. He practiced a few poses.

Day 29: I cannot wait to have a house. After dinner, I sat on the back porch of my parent's house and enjoyed the amazing evening (while watching Scandal!).

Day 30: Track workouts! I didn't get to run in any of the summer running series events last summer. It was perfect timing that I was home for the first week of the series.

What made you happy this week?
Does anyone else watch Scandal?

100 Happy Days {Part 2}

Hello Friends! If you're following along with my 100 Happy Days challenge, here are some of the things that made me smile last week:

Day 16: The boy & I have a really unique song that we consider "our song." I rarely ever hear it on the radio so when I did, I took a snapshot video of me singing at the top of my lungs and sent it to him. 

Day 17: Every time I pack to head back to Clarksville is a happy day! 

Day 18: The 6-7 hour drive is never fun (especially after a full day of work). The sky was crazy awesome though because it was storming like crazy behind me. I felt like I was outrunning the storms all night.

Day 19: Justin's friend's uncle opened a new restaurant in Knoxville. Justin, my dad, and I got to go to the training night and test out a bunch of the menu items - for free!!

Day 20: Justin completed his first half ironman in 6:06:53. I was so proud of him!

Day 21: Summer classes started...not necessarily a happy day haha. I am super excited that all of my classes are online this semester though. It's going to be so nice to work at my own pace and not sit in a classroom for 9 hours a week. 

Day 22: The Bachelorette & Red Velvet ice cream. There is nothing I would rather do on a Tuesday night :)

Is anyone else watching The Bachelorette this season? 

Tell me something that makes you happy.

Late To The Party

As usual, I am way behind the times in keeping up with Social Media trends. A few of my friends have been posting pictures on Instagram with the #100HappyDays hashtag. As I started seeing more and more images with this hashtag, I did a little research and decided to participate.

The 100 Happy Days challenge actually started on December 30^th last year (best day of the year in my opinion). A 27 year old guy from Sweden inspired the challenge when he decided to record things that made him happy. The challenge isn’t a contest, it’s just a reminder to slow down and enjoy the small stuff. I can totally relate to being “super-busy,” but I am definitely not too busy/stressed out to take a moment each day and think about all of the great things in my life.

Here are the things that have made me happy lately:

Day 1: Finishing my 4^th semester of grad school

Day 2: Justin coming to visit

Day 3: Skyping with my nephew

Day 4: Chocolate coconut peanut butter

Day 5: Derby Pie cupcakes

Day 6: Watching the Pittsburgh Marathon

Day 7: Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo

Day 8: Running downtown followed by $1 burgers on Bar Louie's outdoor patio

Day 9: Frozen Yogurt (and all of the toppings!)

Day 10: Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Lattes & Boston Cream Donuts

Day 11: The Boy making fajitas

Day 12: 3 new pairs of shoes for less than $60

 

Day 13: Finally putting together a wedding binder!

Day 14: Nobody wanted fruit in our morning meeting so I commandeered the entire bowl

Day 15: Running outside & warm weather
