#5 The Performing Arts

Isn't Capitol Theatre dreamy?!

I LOVE the performing arts. Anytime the symphony is playing, a ballet or an opera we always make an effort to go. Getting dressed up and going to a decked out theatre with live music is just amazing. I absolutely love it. I feel so fancy. Tim took me to the symphony for one of our dates when we were still newly dating and I remember thinking he was one of a kind to take me. Any man that can appreciate the music of Swan Lake live deserves a second look. :-)

p.s. Tim even proposed to me on my birthday after taking me to the ballet! DEFINITELY a winner. :-)

#6 Antique Jewelry

Anything old really sparks my interest but jewelry seems to hold so much history. My engagement ring is from the 1920's and everytime I look at it I wonder how much love it must've seen through the years. That and it's absolutely GORGEOUS. We had such a hard time finding a ring for me when we got engaged but the second we stepped foot in that antique jewelry store I was like a kid in a candy shop! Tim bought me some sapphire earrings from the same shop for our last anniversary and has promised much more :-)


#7 Television

I make no attempt to deny it. I love TV. When I was single I LOVED spending Saturday morning in bed with a bowl of beef ramen watching TV. Even if it was bad TV (like Judge Judy). Now there are all kinds of cool shows to sit back and watch mindlessly. I get so into it! I sometimes even get into the commercials. Tim always laughs at me when he hears me laughing just to find it was a commercial. What can I say? I'm an American!

#8 Photos

Old photos, new photos, I just love pictures. I always have my camera out and bugging Tim to take pictures of every moment. Every time we can afford it I LOVE hiring a professional to take family pictures of us. Maybe it's vain but I think we have such a beautiful family and I don't want to be sitting here at 50 when my memory starts failing me and not have pictures to remind me.

#9 Christ.

This man saved my life. I'm definitely not perfect but thanks to Him I can still have all I need to be happy. Because of him I know my family will be together forever and consoles me on a daily basis. I am so blessed and I know it's because of Him.
