Ten Things to Smile About

February flew by... hard to believe it's nearly over already. But it's been a pretty awesome month, so I guess I can forgive it just this once.
1. I threw an awesome steampunk birthday party for my great friend Amy.2. I got over 100 hits on a single blog post (my review of Monsters and Mormons) - this may not be much to some of you big timers, but it's a new record for me!3. I met some really awesome people and saw a lot of old friends at Life, the Universe, and Everything, the local writing con.4. My brother in law got his mission call to Ukraine.5. I got to spend some quality time with my in laws and go through the temple with previously referred to brother in law.6. I tried several new recipes  (including TWO new dinner ideas, three dessert recipes, and a bread recipe).7. I finally used some of my birthday gift cards and got some fun new kitchen stuff and a new sweater shirt.8. I splurge on a water flosser that will blast away all my cavities (I hope).9. I went on several fun dates with my husband.10. I got a sweet bonus AND a raise at work (I knew they were both coming, but it's still exciting).
