I love The Script

The Script - For The First Time lyrics



She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,

While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,

And we don't know how,

How we got in to this mad situation,

Only doing things out frustration,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,



She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time,

I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,

And we don't know how,

How we got into this mess is a gods test,

Someone help us cause we're doing our best,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard



But we're gonna start by

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,

Sit talking up all night,

Saying things we haven't for a while

A while ya

We're smiling but we're close to tears,

Even after all these years,

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time



Oooooo



She's in line at the dole

With her head held high

While I just lost my job

I didn't lose my pride

But we both know how,

How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,

When you pick yourself up,

You get kicked to the dirt,

Trying to make it work but,

Man these times are hard,



But we're gonna start by,

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,

Sit talking up all night,

Doing things we haven't for a while,

A while ya,

We're smiling but we're close to tears,

Even after all these years,

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.



Oooooo


Yeah...

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,

Sit talking up all night,

Saying thing we haven't for a while,

We're smiling but we're close to tears,

Even after all these years,

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time

Christmas Time

"Have yourself a Merry little Christmas..."

We all know what time of year it is, and if you dont the radio will be the first one to remind you!

All the classic Christmas songs are blaring on every station and in every store.

As annoying as this time of year can be, in some ways I cant help but love it!

Yes by the end of the seaon we will feel tapped out dollar wise, but I think we fail to remember what truly is important ( and no Its definetely not that new IPOD touch we've been craving).

As we sit in a room full of people ripping presents open, we truly need to look around and remember that these moments may not last forever with the same people. Time passes by and people grow older, some pass away. We have to cherish every moment we have with the people we hold so dear.

I can honestly say that I am so blessed to have such an amazing family to share Christmas with but I can also say that my family is fully aware of what comes first on this day. Jesus Christ and the people in the room. We hold dear what is important and let go of what isnt.

I am thankful that I get to see another Christmas and I am thankful that this year has brought, FOR THE MOST PART, good things. God is sooo good and He continues to bless us everyday.

I hope that all of you out there can have an amazing Christmas and may 2011 bring more than we could have every wished for.

Let us all strive to be better in 2011

Childlike Innocence

In life you have to remember never lose your child-like innocence...

My niece and nephew never let me forget how great it is to be a kid.

Since it was Christmas we were able to bring Jaelyn and Tyson home for the weekend to celebrate Christmas. the amount of fun we had I cant even explain....so I wont, ILL JUST SHOW YOU PICTURES!!!

I love being aunt Jeny to my beloved Niece, its so crazy to love someone so much!

This is my gorgeous Nephew Tyson and our adopted family Anutsuwa, this was also Anutsuwa's last weekend, she moved to Texas to start school. LE SIGH how she will be missed.

The kids felt it necessary to open all the gifts together....or maybe just Jaelyn, Tyson liked the boxes and wrapping more than the gifts themselves

All in all th weekend was awesome and makes me so grateful to have such amazing kids in the family

The Big City

At last here I am posting about living in the big city. Sorry it took me so long to finally do this, it has been a full week, but I wanted to get settled in and things have been really since finally arriving. I am actually sitting in my parents home back in salina typing this, its so odd to say that I come home to do things.
Living alone has to be one of lifes great luxuries, the peacefulness is amazing and I truly enjoy it. It does get a little lonely but I wouldnt trade it for the world. Its an awesome feeling to say that its MY apartment.

Now on to my work situation, Now that is a beast all in itself, the campus is huge! its like a college campus really. We have our own gym and cafeteria (which I will not bring myself to eat at yet because if the food tastes half as good as it smells ill be as big as a house in no time.
It took me a little time to warm up to my coworkers but they all seem awesome and I am excited to really get to know them.
People have asked, "have you ventured around the city" and to be honest, I have really had the time, though I did go to Bed bath and Beyond and kohls the other day....thats me being brave!

Its so odd having to take the highway to get places now and the time it takes to do anything is amazing. it took me an hour the other day to get lunch, due to traffic and the drive across town.

All in all I love the city and ill keep you all posted in my adventures!

Tying the loose ends

*plopping to floor with one said exasperated sigh*

Evening my fellow bloggers, As i type this blog i come from a place of sheer exhaustion and stress. It has been a long last two weeks, this big move to Topeka has done me in for sure. I guess when taking on this project I had no idea how much actual work it would be. Silly me I forgot that I dont participate in a real life version of star trek where I can teleport all my worldly good to another location....as nice as that concept does sound (ill add that to my list of "to do" items and get on creating that).

I am offically 4 days away from the big move and I am filled with many many emotions. Fear, happiness, excitement, fear...oh wait I said that already. But all in all I am just hoping for things to go smoothly, no hiccups. I think things have fallen into place so well that I am afraid that SOMETHING, just something has to go wrong. I need to stop jinxing myself, I know but fear has that way of playing games with my head.

So as I continue on with the packing, preping and all the other fun things that go wtih this move, I hope you all keep me in your prayers for a safe move and Ill keep you all updated
