My Favorite Things (Part 2)

This is a photo book that Emily made for me and gave to me on my wedding day. It made me all teary eyed and I look at it often. She typed the lyrics to this silly VBS song that we claimed as our own, and printed them on each picture.

My favorite Iowa hoodie. This also represents ALL of my Iowa clothes. Is it totally obvious that I have an undying love for my Hawkeyes?

My journals. I've been journaling since 2000. Actually I had ones before this, but sadly at some point I threw them away because I was embarrassed of my awkwardness. I sure I wish I had them to laugh at now because I sure love reading through these and seeing how ridiculous I was.

Ticket stubs. I know. I haven't been to many concerts, but these were special for me. I sadly have lost my Backstreet Boys ticket. :)  Reba McEntire was my first. My mom had promised me that if she ever came to Iowa she would take me. It was awesome...except for the part where we had a pole in front of us which obstructed our view. I was very excited when I got to see Casting Crowns too. Mom and I also went to that together.

This picture from our wedding day is a favorite of mine. I love the frame as well. It was a Christmas gift from Jacob and it sits on my dresser in our bedroom.

My scrapbooks. I have so many unfinished scrapbooks, but I love this one (and I actually finished it). It's of one of my favorite daycares.

This book was made and given to me as a wedding gift also. Everyone who came to my shower in Cedar Rapids wrote a piece of marriage advice for me and then September put it into a book for me. I read it from time to time because sometimes I need a bit of a reminder on being a loving wife! :)

There's your second installment of my favorite things. Too bad I'm not Oprah, because her favorite things are pretty fantastic (although probably not as sentimental) and you'd all be scoring some  pretty sweet stuff. But alas, you're stuck reading this.
