Things That Made Me Happy Last Week

It snowed last night. Big crazy snowflakes when it’s supposed to be spring. That’s not the happy part…the happy part is that when I woke up this morning the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and all of the snow was gone. We can just pretend like it never happened!

I scrubbed my bedroom and bathroom, like spring cleaning style, even cleaned the drawers out. Today, almost one week later they’re still clean!


I watched Twilight will some gals on Friday night and we chatted until 2 a.m. We caught the last few minutes of the MSU game and they made it to the Elite 8. That's a double dose.

Brandon had a ginormous assignment due today so last week was crazy. Saturday he and Eric were at the library ALL DAY. I hung out with Jamie and Cohen when the boredom became too much- they definitely made me happy last week.

I made Cream Cheese brownies. They were so dang good!

I realized that Brandon will be done with his first year of law school in 44 days. What the? It went by so fast! I am so happy for him, he rocked it.

On Sunday Michigan State played for a chance at the Final 4 in Detroit. They beat the number 1 overall seed, nobody though they could do it. Honestly, such historic and amazing events deserve their own post, coming soon.Yay for Happiness.

Okay, make these brownies ASAP! So good!
