Smile!

Happy Wordfull Wednesday! The topic is "Love Songs", more specifically- what is mine and my sweethearts "song".

For some reason I thought every couple had to have "a song", like it was a rule. So I was somewhat disappointed when my husband and I never seemed to have that memorable moment together with some wonderful love song playing in the background. Maybe because we don't really listen to music when we're together...

So I was worrying about how to say "we don't have song" in a more interesting way, but my husband came to the rescue (and he didn't even know that this was on my mind!). The other day he came home from work and said "I heard a song on the radio that reminded me of you". Of course he couldn't remember the name or the artist, but he searched until he found it, and here it is!



Now, I'm not a big Uncle Kracker fan, but this song is pretty much perfect! I think about my husband through the whole thing. How great my life has been with him in it, how I really do smile every time he walks into the room, and how he's my best friend!

We've been married for almost 5 years and we finally have a song that "fits"! Hurray for music that helps us celebrate a life of love and experience!

Bugged

I started early this morning on my "learn something new every day" quota. Just waking up and opening my bedroom door there was a very fast shadow racing across my path. Ooo-wee scary! Thankfully it stopped when I turned the light on and there was a sturdy shoe nearby. I had never seen anything like it! A mix of a cockroach, a centipede and a Tennessee 'hopper bug'? It wasn't long before I made my way to Google so I could calm my imagination down. (was it poisonous? did it crawl in our sheets at night? does it lay huge nests in our couch?!!).

Turns out that I squished a "house centipede". It is an insectivore, eating other insects and spiders. Good news right?! I'm not sorry about killing it, but I am willing to accept it's existence...as long as I can't see it. They are scary little creatures! But so are spiders - this is giving me a complex!

Touched my Heart Strings

I first saw this on Chocolate on my Cranium and had some real tears pop out! It is so beautiful! I think especially since we can see the joy and emotion as they play. I am so grateful for their talent!
