This is so much harder than making "The Angry List". A couple of differences are obvious to me as I begin to try and think through this list - These are in order of importance, there are many more things in life that make me excited in life than make me upset, and trying to describe the emotion that rises up at the thought of these things is beyond me.
1) My Jesus. This is not here as cliche. I am who I am because of Him. He is my love.
2) My Wife. Again, not cliche, simply true. She is my partner in everything that I do. My life would be completely awful without her. Watching her be who she is enthralling.
3) The thought of being a father. No, we have no kids on the way, nor any plans for them currently, but I have wanted to be a dad since I was little. The honor and privilege it will be to be a daddy is beyond my words.
4) Having the opportunity to be a blessing by the direction of the Holy Spirit. Be it giving, encouraging someone, or teaching. I am alive for these moments.
5) People. I love people. I love being around them, talking to them, watching them. People.
6)My G Puppy. Cutest and smartest ever. No debate.
7)The Diamond H Ranch. I proposed to my wife, learned how to bass fish, shot my first big deer, bled and sweat, grew in Jesus, learned to build fence, and generally became a man on that piece of land. It is very dear to me.
8)Sports. I love playing sports. I love watching sports. I love sports - especially Aggie Sports and playing basketball. My wife probably questions my sanity with how excited I get at the thought of playing basketball.
9)Nike and Ralph Lauren clothes. They fit right. They make me really excited. Undoubtedly, Nike makes the coolest sport apparel. Period. It is the best, and it makes me happy.
10)Music. I don't even want to be honest about how much memory on this Macbook is taken up by music. I also do not want to be honest about how much money I have spent in my life on music. It is likely disgusting.
11) Ten just wasn't enough for this list...Cowboy Boots. The way they smell when they come out of the box. How dependable they are. How good they look. How versatile they are. The world should wear boots.
I love my little wife, her pretty red shoes, and how well she fits in my arms.
