5 Things That Are Making Me Smile 
  1. Getting my first college acceptance from a school here in California - UC Irvine!

2. My mom surprising me with a little "Congratulations" package for getting into UCI. She got me flowers, TJ's apple butter, TJ's dark chocolate sea salt covered almonds (go get these now. i mean it.), and a tangerine Hansen's soda. I love my mom!!

the flowers are gorgeous!!!

3. Getting home from a super sweaty workout at the gym (the stairclimber never fails to challenge me!) and finding Ginnie Mae sleeping on the table. She is such a prima donna! but it's impossible to ignore her cute little face so i let her stay there for a little bit ;)

gimme a belly rub!
