After going back and forth I have finally decided.

to blog (after so long) about:

25 things I believe

 in now that I am 25.

1. I believe in birthdays! 

No not just because today is mine but I think everyone needs at least ONE day to feel loved and appreciated!!

no secrets. no excuses. pure honesty.

whether it is I love you, or I am sorry. 

3. I believe in thanking GOD everyday. 

whether things are good or bad.

I seriously question people if they don't like dogs.

or your stomach hurts.

over these 25 years I am strong as EVER. 

and I hope that never changes.
