Happy Friday! This week, we are talking about five things that make us happy and this was a really hard list to make! I decided to break my list down into people, places and things to help me narrow the list because I could go on forever about things that make me happy! Per usual, I’m linking up with my girls Cynthia and Mar for the #Friday Five. You can read our linkup rules here. Please, please, please follow the rules! Note that if you don’t play nicely, we will delete your link.
People
- My husband. Duh. He’s my number one guy even when he drives me nuts. 🙂
- My parents. They are awesome!
- My dog. Um, Sasha is simply amazing.
- The woman who recaps Scandal for Glamour magazine. She is ridiculously hilarious. I love her writing.
- My crew. I have a tight network of friends and I’m grateful for each of those amazing women.
Places
- DC. I am really fortunate in that I love where I live. Truly!
- Dominican Republic. Our honeymoon spot was beautiful. Of course, I’m less than happy about what’s going on over there right now…
- Alabama. Sweet home, y’all. Roll Tide.
- My parent’s house. It will always be home for me.
- Disney. The happiest place on Earth! 🙂
Things
- Running. Duh. It’s my thing.
- Bacon. Do I have to explain this??
- Wine. See above.
- A rainy morning when I can go back to bed. THE. BEST.
- A lovely cool summer night. I’m not really familiar with this in DC but I hear it’s nice 🙂
What makes you happy?
This “cool summer night” thing is why I head north or into the mountains every summer. I hate the DC heat and humidity, so I get out of here as often as possible. Otherwise my blog would be nothing but whine for 3 months LOL.

Mountains = way to go. I have a trip to Colorado and Seattle this summer and I can’t wait!!
Aww, seeing that Disney is among your Happy Places warms my heart! See now there is a reason we are virtual friends..lol
Lol. The Disney love is real 🙂
I haven’t visited DC, Dominion Republic or Alabama… But now, of course, they’re all on my list! At least I’ve visited WDW – LOVED every minute!

Love this!
Cool summer nights are wonderful! I have to say I would also love a warm, balmy summer night without a sweater! 🙂
Have a happy Friday!

Great list! My husband is a great guy who loves to drive me nuts too. 🙂
I look forward to taking our daughter to Disney when she is a little older. I’ve been there a few times and it is so fun and happy!
On the subject of bacon… last night I went to a Culinary Fight Club event for bbq. There was bacon wrapped chicken, among other things. OMGOMGOMGOMG

I love your own twist on the theme! DC also makes me happy, it’s definitely in my top 5 favorite places. I can’t wait to go in a couple of weeks for Independence Day!
Sam @ See Sam Run recently posted…Five Things Friday: Stay Happy!
Thank you for picking this topic. It is always good to spend time thinking about what makes us happy (and how lucky we are)! I picked my husband as #1, too. We are an odd match by any calculation but it works AND he makes me happy, I also have an amazing crew.
Have a great weekend and thanks again for the Happy Friday!
Erica @ Erica Finds recently posted…Friday Finds: 5 Things That Make Me Happy
Such a great list, I love your approach by discussing your favorite people, places and things! I definitely agree with you, there is no better place than home sweet home…and BACON?! Seriously, bacon is the reason why I am not a vegetarian, lol. Thanks for hosting! 🙂

Lesley recently posted…What Makes Me Happy
Love your take on it this week. A couple groupings of short and to the point lists. Agree on a lot of them, especially Disney, bacon and wine.

Courtney, you have me cracking up over here with “a lovely cool summer night” – ha! That sounds delightful and, like you, I’m wondered where I’d have to go to find it! I have to say, it wasn’t TOO bad last night, but it was still kind of muggy. And, I also thought about you as I ate my last Bacon & Egg Cupcake for breakfast this morning…sorry. Thanks so much for another great link up and I hope you have an awesome weekend!
Tara @ Running ‘N’ Reading recently posted…Friday Five
wait….did you say bacon and egg cupcake?!?!?!? oh my word. i need more information!
Well! Our dog had PUPPIES last night! That makes me happy, and they are all alive and well. I’m also eating a coffee cake I made from the ‘Running with Spoons’ blog. It’s delish. 🙂 Sunshine and flowers make me happy. Reading my Bible… 🙂 It’s like feeding on AMAZING spiritual food.
