100 things...

I thought I would come up with a list of 100 things that make me happy. I came across a list that someone else had done, and thought it was a pretty neat idea. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that hard to come up with a hundred things! I tried to be conservative with all the things Dakota and Kevin do to make me happy, since we all know I could dedicate an entire list just to them, but I just couldn't help myself. Afterall, they make up about 99.9% of my happiness. Ok, so here I go.....
