making me happy monday

I read a blog where every monday they do a "making me happy monday" post. I love the idea so have decided to start it myself. I always find Monday's to be the most reflective day of my week as it is the start of a new one. Nothing can brighten up the beginning to another [long] week by being thankful for what I've been blessed with!

I have the most amazing older sister ever. I've mentioned her on here before, but seriously I can not say enough about her. Abbie is always the most thoughtful person. Even though her husband is in his first year of residency for medical school and works more than I ever thought humanly possible, and she has two little girls at home, yet she is so positive, uplifting, and has the best perspective about life. I call her almost everyday because I always find myself in a better mood, and my day to go a little better after I talk to her about anything and everything. Now, I just wish I lived closer to her so I could visit more often!

(excuse my hair, this was earlier this summer during my anti-doing-my-hair stage!
Glad I got over that one really quick!)

Also, due to the fact I go through shoes so dang fast at work I am always on the look out for cute, closed toed flats. I found these this past week and already know they were a perfect summer purchase! Another thing to add to my "making me happy monday" list.
