I Believe...

The idea for this post came from one of my blog gal friends, Sally. She has done this several times and I always thought it was so neat! Now that I have a blog of my own, I thought I would give it a whirl...(Check out Sally's blog...http://exploitsofamilitarymama.com) 


Here they are..
**Just a disclaimer...these are in no certain order, with the exception of God being on top, of course.**


I BELIEVE...


in God.


that family is one of the strongest bonds there is. 
No matter how mad I am at them or what we may have done to hurt each other, I know that they will always ALWAYS be there for me.


that having a sister is an irreplaceable relationship.


that you shouldn't underestimate the power of girlfriends. They can't replace a sister, but they can come pretty darn close.


in flowers. Nothing says I love you like a vase of flowers. Even if they are handpicked. Sometimes the "recess flowers" from my kids are better than any flowers that could ever be bought.

I BELIEVE...


in strong coffee and white wine.


that sometimes you have to sing into your hairbrush and dance in front of a mirror. 


that cleaning house can only be done to really loud music. 


in driving with the windows down.


I BELIEVE...


that it is ok to still sleep with your baby blanket.


a bubble bath and a good book is the best way to end a long day.


Dave Matthews is the most talented musician I've ever heard.


I BELIEVE...


that being a 27 year old daddy's girl is normal.


that needing your mom at 27 is just as normal.


that I'm a princess...(I'm really only kidding, but if you know me, you know that I do often refer to myself as a princess. This may be the result of being a 27 year old daddy's girl. But if I'm the princess, that makes my mama the queen and I've never heard complaints from her in that department.)


I BELIEVE...


that children are our future.


that I was BORN to be a teacher.


that no matter how much I love my job or "my kids", it is ok to watch the news religiously at the threat of snow. Nobody loves a snow day like I do! (Unless your name is Betsy Thompson and you have 4 seasons of Grey's Anatomy on hand.)


I BELIEVE...


mountains can be healing.


so can oceans.


it's ok to say your are sorry.


and sometimes you can say your are sorry and still stand your ground.


I BELIEVE...


in a sad movie just because you are in the mood to cry.


crying is healthy.


I BELIEVE...


relationships can be mended.


some aren't meant to be.


new ones are sometimes worth the wait.


I BELIEVE...


Funfetti cupcakes make me a much nicer person.


laughing until you cry and your stomach hurts is healthy.


in sleep.


And on that note, I am off to bed. Please share what you believe in this week...
