Cheesy but lovely

So the Scrubs series finale came on the other night and I found myself tearing up at the last few scenes. They played a beautiful Peter Gabriel song called "Book of Love" and showed scenes of love, marriage, and children. It was absolutely beautiful. Maybe it's the wife or future mom welling up in me but I felt like this song just captured the beauty of it all.

Here are the lyrics:

"The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings"

How Ever Did I Get Here??

So I just remembered I had this blog. Time to dust off this little piece of the Internet and reconnect with my inner writer. Since the last time I wrote, I got a job and have now been at said job for over a year. Not the greatest job ever but it pays the bills (just barely). I'm still loving my husband of almost 2 years (aww!). We bought our first house last may and got a puppy in october. Both are incredible and incredibley challanging!

We have been praying long and hard for new friendships, especially couples in the same season of life that we are currently in. God heard us and we have been so blessed with wonderful friends through our church family. I look forward to stretching and growing with these amazing people through the years.

In other news, I am ready for a life change and a new challange. I'm considering going to realty school and trying my hand at real estate. its got to be better than my current job and I think I could be really good at it!

So I think thats about it for now.

until next time :)
