Lately, I’ve really started to notice all of the little things in my life that I’m grateful for. Not just the big events, but all those tiny little details that make me happy. I think it’s time to make a conscious effort to capture the things that make me smile, the things that I’m grateful for on a daily basis, and I think the way to do that is through here.  So here is day one of the things I’m grateful for: us.  About two weeks ago I married my best friend, and we had the most amazing honeymoon in Italy.  Just that sentence alone is full of some really majorly “grateful” things.  To kick off this new segment, I thought instead of doing a play by play of our trip I would do a little list of things that make me the happiest from us and our trip. Here we go:
