10. As always, the river trip in July has to make the list...it's one of the highlights of my life and probably always will be!
9. Realizing that sometimes, the best thing you can do is let go. Way, way harder than it sounds, but totally worth it in the end.
8. Getting accepted in grad school, MBA here I come!!!
7. Passing my stupid certification exam for work! Stupid test could've been the death of me. Now, the application will probably kill me, but at least I survived the test!!!
6. FINALLY introducing my two best friends and watching them fall head over heels for each other.
5. Buying a new Jeep 4 door and then taking it from previously mentioned husband. Technically, the events leading up to the purchase totally sucked, but overall,it's way cooler than the jeep we had before!
4. Seeing baby Keegan in the first few hours after his birth.
3. Seeing baby Carson in hour one of his birth.
2. Buying a house!! While the painting and stuff is totally stupid, in theory, the house concept is greatness.
1. Marrying my best friend on April 5. Not sure if that will make the list every year, but at least for this year it does! ;)

Maybe we need to rethink our positions?

After you read this, if you can still tell me that gay partners don't deserve the same things that heterosexual partners deserve, don't talk to me anymore.

Feeling like I need a voice...
So I have this friend, and she is amazing! And what amazes me the most is her ability to speak her mind without worrying what anyone is going to say to her. I love it! I absolutely admire this quality in her, and I can't imagine her without this quality. So when I read a blog post of hers today, I started to wonder if I would be the same way, or if I tend to sit on my opinions rather than voice them.
I would like to think that the majority of the time, I have the courage to stand up for my beliefs and my opinions. I would like to think that when someone sends me an email discounting Barack Obama's abilities as the next President of the United States, that I would be able to respond and tell them exactly why he is qualified to lead this country for the next four years.
I would like to think that if someone challenged my religious beliefs I would be able to stand up to them and affirm what I believe in. I would like to think that their view of my beliefs wouldn't matter to me and that my life would continue whether or not they supported what I thought or not.
I would like to think all of these things about me, but often I think I fall short of "standing up for what I believe in." I think I take the silent approach more than I choose the vocal route that would lead me to doing what is right. I applaud my amazing friend for her bravery and ability to affirm what she believes on a daily basis. I think it is truly a cherished quality that she should hold near to her self.
So, on that note...I just want to say a few of the things that I believe in and am willing to defend!
1) Rainy days are always followed by sunny ones at some point..:) I know, classy!
2) President-elect Obama is going to do a magnificient job running this country. That is not to say that George W. Bush didn't do a good job, it's just to say that we are in need of change and he can deliver that to us.
3) I'm not 100% positive hell exists, but I do like to believe in a higher power that is going to save my soul.
4) No matter what they tell you, brussel sprouts are disgusting and should be banished from the earth.
5) It's not global warming, it's climate change, but I truly believe we are pushing the change faster than is natural.
6) Madonna is stupid.
that's about it for today, but I think I like this affirmation of beliefs thing and will try it again someday!
