David Letterman.

So, ever since I was little I've loved David Letterman. I don't know why. Sometimes my dad would stay up to watch his Top 10 List. That was always a special thing, when Dad said we could stay up past 10:30 to watch with him. After the Top 10 List, unless someone interesting was on, it was time for bed. So I was thinking maybe I should make a Top 10 List of things I love and think are beautiful.

10. Jamba Juice. Today I was walking on campus and it felt like it was 150 degrees, so I stopped at Jamba in the Wilk and got myself a 16 Citrus Squeeze. SO yummy.

9. Cooking. I love cooking. It's therapeutic to me. When I need something to do, or when I need time to think, I bake or grill or sauté. I love looking at people's faces when they eat what I make!

8. Writing in my journal. Along with cooking, writing in my journal relaxes me. I've written in one pretty diligently ever since I was in 6th grade. If you haven't done it, start! The best thing is to read back over things you've written in the past.

7. Early morning. Even though I'm NOT a morning person, the times when I do wake up early and it's quiet and the sun is just barely rising are just so beautiful. I love getting up early and getting things done. One of my favorite things is to read my scriptures then.

6. Snowy nights. While I love early mornings, I also love snowy evenings. My favorite memories are being with my family around Christmas, reading by a fireplace and drinking hot

chocolate, and the snow falls outside. I just think that's so pretty!

5. Babies. There's something so happy about babies. I love their little feet and fingers. At church the other day I was playing with this cute baby boy, and his smile just melted my heart!

4. Pink lemonade. There's just something so summery and pretty about it. I picture ladies in big hats sitting outside and sipping it, while talking about books.

3. Reading. I LOVE to read anything I can get my hands on! Right now I'm reading this amazing novel called "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini, and I am learning so much about Afghani women and the struggles and injustices they have dealt with.

2. BYU. I love BYU, and I love Provo! Sometimes I whine and complain that I don't want to be there anymore, but once I leave I can't wait to come back. I love walking around campus and meeting students and professors that I can learn so much from.

1. Pearls. There's something so beautiful and classy about pearls. And I strongly believe that you look so much better when you put some on! And beautiful jewelry makes me feel so much prettier. And anything that can make me feel that way definitely goes on my list!

So there you go. Go out today and look for something beautiful.
