"Ten things that make you really happy"

This topic is another one from the Blog Everyday In May Challenge that I have been having a lot of fun catching up on.

Today I am supposed to share 10 things that make me happy with you lovely readers. I am generally quite a happy person and I am able to find joy in the littlest things - I have always been grateful for this quality of mine. Here follows the 10 things that make me happiest at the moment:

1. This photo makes me so incredibly happy. Meet my little brothers; NJ (he's not so little, he's 14) and my precious little LP who is almost 6 months old. This photo was taken on one of the last days of my April holiday. Being at Varsity and being away from these little guys for a couple of months at a time has really been difficult but I believe it has brought us so much closer to one another. NJ and I don't annoy each other nearly as much as we used to, and who could possibly stand to be away from that tiny little face in the middle?
   
2. Messages from my beautiful step-mom. Being away from her and LP is tough but getting a message from her always puts a smile on my face!
3. These two girls (in the middle and the right) - Amy and Emma. I have known Em for 5 and a half years and Amy for just a short few months but they both hold a special place in my heart.
   
4. Iced Coffees with my best friends. In fact, any coffee!! I NEVER thought I would hear myself say that. I've always hated it but since I started Uni I've become addicted to it. Not only does it get me through the late night study sessions, but my girlfriends and I love to go the little cafes around here and chat over a cup or two.
   
5. Plane tickets. And not just any plane tickets, but plane tickets home. This photo was taken about 2 months ago. It was my very first time flying by myself (and only my third time in a plane). I love the excitement around it and I love the fact that it means I get to see my family again.
   
6. *This* song. I just can't get enough of it right now.
7. The fact that I'm doing driving lessons. I feel like I'm finally getting things in order and becoming more independent and that puts a smile on my face.
8. Pinterest. Oh. My. Gosh. I have been obsessed with Pinterest for months now and I find myself experiencing withdrawal symptoms if I don't check it every day. If you're a Pinner, follow my boards at "shanleahy".
9. Sleeping in. I love the fact that my lectures are not early in the morning and that I can get some extra Z's.
10. This blog makes me happy at the moment. I think I'm finding my feet slowly - thank you for baring with me ;)
