My List

Last night Alyssa and I were talking and some how we got onto the conversation of what we love. We just started listing things out. This is my list. I have 25 things here and I could have went longer. The only rule was that this had to be things and not people. Here goes....

Things that I love, in no particular order. This list does not count people, just things.
1. Early morning drives when it feels like no one else exists except for you.
2. Old comfortable blue jeans. I have two pair.
3. The smell of rain.
4. Old cars
5. Good books
