Blog-tember challenge What makes me happy??

"Sept 2nd: Write about what makes you happy, from the little joys to the huge game-changers."

Instead of really writing about the things that make me happy, I decided to do a list..because, frankly, this would be the longest post in the history of blogging because I sometimes over-explain things!! :D  So here are my happiness items, in no particular order! ;)
