So after going back and checking out my numbering, I realized that I had two number 44's. That means that today is in fact my 50th day of Happy!
I've got to be honest, I am a little burnt out on this whole 100 days of Happy challenge. I have been thinking over the past few days about why I am doing this. Why have I committed to posting for 100 straight days on a blog that has a grand total of 131 posts through it's lifetime (the last 3 years)? I have stretched on my Happy a few times but for the most part my first 50 posts are truly little things in my life that make me Happy.
I have realized that I cannot complete this task for everyone else, I have to finish it for myself. Although my posts might be a little boring and mundane to all of you (the lack of comments the past 4 days has made this obvious to me) I have to keep going so I can continue recognizing the small things in life that truly create Happiness.
With all this said, my 50th Happy is my family.
I have mentioned them a few times before but I am so Happy when I am talking to my family via Skype, spending time with my family, or simply looking at pictures of my family. I need to clarify that "my family" consists of my siblings, parents, grandparents, etc. as well as Matt's siblings, parents, and grandma. Family in general is such a special thing and I feel blessed that we are so close to my parents as well as Matt's. We love all of them very much.
Here are a few pictures of some of our family (in no particular order):

Umm why does everyone in your family have animal names? Dodo? Moose? (ok I get this one) Birdie? Can you do a post on this one? I am totally curious!
Family really is the greatest! Sorry I haven't commented. I have been reading. Good job keeping up with it.
Yay for half-way! Don't give up - I love going to Natalie, Tara and your blog every day to see what is making you happy....it makes ME happy! I love your family too - cause most of it is mine also!!!
You won't regret doing this once it's complete. I love reading back on stuff like this, and it always makes me recognize my blessings over the bad.
I love family, too! I didn't always, but now that I'm married, I realize just how much they mean to me.
Please tell them i am not an animal!!!!!!
