Our Song

Just in case any of you did not know, this is mine and Aaron's song:

Bless the Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rollin' home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

Favorite Rascal Flatts Songs

These are two of my favorite Rascal Flatts songs.  They kind of sum things up.  That's why I love them.  Of course, my ultimate favorite is still Bless the Broken Road. 

The Day Before You

I had all but given up
On finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was on the day before you

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
And it makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you
Were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
And if you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

Bridge
The day before you
Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
I'm never going back

Chorus:
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

And...

Waiting All My Life

Everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
Everybody's searching for someone
Been down a thousand highways
I never thought would end
Baby, I've been

Chorus
Waiting all my life to find you
Always been one step behind you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

I was tired of waiting
Every night was praying
Everyday would be the day I'd find you
I grew so impatient, how long would it take
To know you were out there somewhere
Somewhere waiting, wondering just like me

Second Chorus
I've been waiting all my life to love you
All that time I was dreaming of you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

Bridge
And did I lose faith, did I lose heart
Maybe I did, but I never lost my way
To where you are – I've been

Your love I've been waiting
Your love I've been waiting all my life
All my life, all my life

My Songs

I found more Rascal Flatts songs!  The first song that I have listed I had never heard.  I absolutely love it.  It may have to be a ringtone.  Anyways.  Not much more to talk about.  This blog is a public one.  I'll bet that you wish that you could read the other one.  Too bad.  Maybe I will let a few people read it, but only if they ask nicely.  Well, I have got to get moving.  I have leftovers to put away and dishes to wash.  Tomorrow is Wednesday...Bible Quizzing.  Just talked to Angie.  They have her camera!  There are some pics on there that I would like to put on here.  Okay.  I have REALLY got to get off here.  I have to charge my phone before Aaron tries to call & it dies!  Later.

Love ya...

Karaoke Night

We've been playing Karaoke Revolution tonight.  It has been a lot of fun!!  My son is the new American Idol.  He beat ME!!!!  Oh, well.  He did a great job.  Now we're playing Karoke Revolution for XBox.  Fun times... It's almost my turn, so I'd better get down there.  Later.  Keep me in your thoughts, I'm feelin' kinda down.  Love ya...

Last Night's Concert

Last night was awesome!  My brother works at a radio station and got tickets to the Jake Owen/Carrie Underwood/ Brad Paisley concert.  We were the next row up from the floor!  Then we got "meet & greet" passes for Jake Owen.  He is a really sweet guy.  He puts on a great performance.  We got his autograph and got our picture taken with him.  How cool is that?!  Carrie Underwood performed next.  I'll tell you what...the camera must add on more than 10 pounds.  This girl was TEENY TINY!  I would love to have thrown her sandwich, if I had had one.  She is an amazing singer.  She is a fabulous live performer.  I would definitely go see her again.  Then, out came Brad Paisley!  What a tremendous show!  This guy played for about 11/2 hours!  At one point he asked "Do you want me to keep going?"  (duh)  He even came out for an encore.  It was just the most fun I've had in a long time.  My brother totally rocks!  He has an incredibly cool job.  It isn't often that you can find a job that you enjoy.  It took me about 9 1/2 years to finally look forward to going to work.  It makes a huge difference in your outlook on things. 

So, check out my slide show.  Enjoy.  Take Care.  Happy Holidays!  Love ya...

July 3rd

Ok, so I haven't blogged in a while.  Sorry.  I've been working lots of overtime.  I need money for vacation. 

I am sitting here downloading music.  I am needing a nostalgia fix.  I am downloading 80's music.  Make that "attempting" to downlaod it.  It is taking forever.  At least it will only take a few minutes to put it all onto discs.  I wish that it would hurry.  I still have to take Michael to purchase a couple more rockets.  Then we're going over to S's house.

Went out to eat with family tonight.  It was the first time that T has spoken to me since everything happened.  Not that this has been a horrible thing.  The last time I talked to him was about a week ago when he called me at around 2:00 a.m.!  Not the best time to call me and attempt to chew me out.  There are only a few people who I would not want to kill at that time in the morning.  I can count them on one hand.  My parents don't count in that list, because if they were calling at that time of the morning it would be something extremely important.  Anyways..

Time to check on the downloads...still waiting on Def Leppard, Debbie Gibson, and Bon Jovi.  Strange combo, I know.  I am downloading "No More Rhyme" by Debbie Gibson.  I sang it in the 10th grade talent show in NC.  I was going to sing "I Dremed A Dream" from Les Mis for Junior year, but they decided not to do a talent show.  That sucked.  I had to move anyways.  That's when my dad retired from the Marines.

If this stupid music is not done by 9:00, I'm just going to put what I have on CD.  I'm getting impatient.  I pray everyday that God would hurry up and bless me with more patience.  It never happens.  What am I doing wrong?

Here comes the part of the blog where I discuss my singleness.  Here goes...you can just take a nap if you want to.  Ok... So, most of the time, I hate being single.  Why is it so impossible to find a guy that meets my qulifications/standards.  I don't think that they're that high.  If anyone is interested, here they are:  preferrably a single parent (that way they understand what kind of crap I have to go through, between the ages of 30-35, he HAS to have a job, a vehicle, a home of his own, sense of humor similar to mine, great personality, not a homebody, Christian (not super "churchy"), like to take family vacations, gets along with my family (ok, not all of them.  I don't even get along with all of them.), gets along with my best friend Nae, and gets along with Princess.  Now, is that too much to ask?  I think not.

Ok, I'm giving up on waiting for my music to download.  I'll just let my brother take care of it.  I am ready to leave here.  It's boring me to death.  Ok, not the only reason I want to leave.  Later...

Song

I thought that I would post the lyrics to the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.  It's one of faves right now.

Unwritten by:  Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your INHIBITIONS

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way

oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your INHIBITIONS

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
treat yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your INHIBITIONS

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
treat yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
treat yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

I love that song!  Do you ever sit and wonder where your life is going?  There are so many things that I had planned to do that I have yet to accomplish.
