I Believe In...

Lately, I've stumbled across some random and fun blogs.  A few fashion blogs.  Some DIYer blogs.  Some other new mommy blogs.  You name it.  I really enjoy following these blogs, despite not knowing or never having met the authors.  I guess that's what blogging's all about though, right?  Anyway, the author of this blog, Living in Yellow, recently did a post called "I Believe In..."  It was so fun to read, so I thought I'd do the same.  So, here goes...

I believe in happiness.  So much so that I have the following tattoo...

I believe in splurging on Starbucks every Friday.

  I believe in true love.

I believe true love can be found on "The Bachelor". :)

I believe in always being the bigger person.

I believe in going on yearly, family vacations.
{Next summer = Florida!}

I believe everything happens for a reason.

I believe in buying inexpensive clothes, and lots of them.
{Thank you Target, F21, and Old Navy.}

I believe Hawaii is the most beautiful place I've ever been.

I believe my baby's smile is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.  

I believe it's perfectly okay to steal copy others' creative ideas.
{Hence, this blog post and the majority of my DIY projects.}

I believe in the power of prayer.

I believe in taking photos to document life.  Lots and lots and lots of them.

I believe it's okay to scream and run and cry if there's a spider.  And I believe in making someone kill it for you.  Yes...even if you're 29 years old.

I believe in putting clothes on my dog, despite the hubs' disapproval.
{Look at this guy's wardrobe!}

I believe it's okay to never curse.  Especially the F word.

I believe in enjoying food and not worrying about every little pound or calorie.  After all, what's the point of life if you can't enjoy it?

I believe in finding a husband that makes you laugh.

I believe in taking mental health days.
{Learned this from my very first principal and the guy that hired me five years ago.}

I believe in BLACK and GOLD.

I believe in being girly.

I believe a hair appointment is one way to make yourself feel a million times better.
{Speaking of, I need one.  Have you seen my roots??}

I believe in miracles.

My sweet miracle

I believe in drinking beer over a nice glass of wine.  Nine times out of ten anyway.

One of my fave kinds.

I believe in always being optimistic.  Things could always be worse.
{Random fact: I was voted most optimistic female in my senior class in two separate polls, one by peers, the other by teachers!}

I believe it's okay to decorate for Christmas as early as November 1.
{Only one month to go!!}

I believe pretty girls can be good at math.

I believe in my students.

I believe in using proper grammer when texting.  And spelling words correctly: tonight vs. 2nite.
{This is a major pet peeve of mine.}

And along those same lines, I believe in knowing the difference between words like their, there, and they're.  It doesn't take a college degree...get it right.

I believe in seeing the best in people.  And always giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I believe in treating dogs like humans.  And allowing them to sleep in bed with you.

I believe a clean house makes you feel organized, put together, and on top of things.

I believe being early is the only way to be.

I believe there is always time for things you enjoy.  For me, that is "The Bachelor".

And finally, I believe more of my friends should start blogs.  It's fun.  I promise!

Now it's your turn!  What do you believe?
