100 random things I love

With Valentine's day upon us and no boyfriend in sight, I have been thinking about all the other things life has to offer that I wish I could savor forever. (Not that I need a man to make me complete, it's just this holiday is kinda centered around your affection for your significant other, or whoever you are in a relationship with. I'm more excited that international blanket fort day, is 16 days away, and I am pretty psyched 'bout that.)
I would have liked to use a word other than love in the title, but for lack of a term which encompassed "relish, enjoy, appreciate, and am thankful for" love had to do. Yes, I love the Lord with all my heart, I don't know where I'd be without my friends and family, church is one of my favorite places to be, and the freedom we have in the United States is not to be forgotten. But I'm talking about the little insignificant things, the things in life that make you stop and smell the roses, you know? So, here we go;
  1. Dryer fluffy laundry
  2. holding an ice cold glass with condensation on a hot day
