Since the last three days have been a whirlwind of squeals and happiness…I have started thinking about all the things that make me giddy in life. Tim always says that one of his favorite things about me is how excited I get over the “little things” although he hates it when we are driving and I gasp over a sale at Pier 1 Imports.
