My life is dramatically changing and it smacked me in the face last night! Within the last week we've been pre-approved for a home loan, my ducks are aligned so I can go back to school, take a Biology and a Chemistry class this summer to meet the last of the pre-reqs I need so that I can apply for a Veterinarian Program that starts in September and hopefully be 1 of 30 students accepted. And of course we're getting married ..... We didn't have it planned this way, things have just fallen into place all at the same time. It's all a little scary because it's happening so fast but I couldn't be happier! Things are on the up and up for us right now and all of our dreams are slowly but surly becoming a reality.... Now if someone could only talk Levi's boss into giving him that big huge fat raise/promotion he deserves!
I am a huge fan of country music, always have been since I was a kid. I have my aunt Laura to thank for that. There was a time I only enjoyed New Kids on the Block & Milli Vanilli but Laura played country music around the clock and always in the car. I seem to remember a lot of Reba or maybe I think there was a lot of Reba because the first country songs I took a liking to was Reba's The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia & her classic Fancy.
I remember once Laura took her daughter Jessica & I to a local country bar (unfortunately now that I'm of age it isn't around anymore) The Rock'n Rodeo. Jess and I were ecstatic, we put on our best outfits! I can still remember what I was wearing: black shorts and a purple silk blouse (I know.... weird I remember that, it's not like I remember other outfits I wore to other events during that time.... Except the denim Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs outfit, but I'm not going to mention that, in fact forget I even said that! I did not have an all jean Disney character outfit!!!). Jess and I were playing with a water balloon in the back of the car on our way to an evening of line dancing with Laura, which let me tell you was a real treat! We were getting to go into an adults only BAR for a night to dance and there was going to be cowboys there! Well the water balloon ended up EXPLODING all over me, mostly covering my purple silk blouse. If you've warn silk and spilled on it, you know it's not fun! It stays wet forever and looks terrible! I ended up spending most of the night trying to dry my outfit by standing in front of a giant fan that was bigger than I was on the dance floor meant to cool down sweaty dancing people. Luckily for me though my cousin Jess stayed right next to me the entire time and brought me a soda or two. One of the million reasons she's one of my bridesmaids.
Ok point of the post today, I was listening to Pandora.com on a George Strait station because I wanted to hear the songs that took me back to those days. Just some good ol country music that never gets old. This one came on, and totally made me smile. I had completely forgotten about it. I think it would be nice in a wedding :o)
I'm a sucker for a love song, they make me cry, they give me goose bumps, but most importantly they just make me happy!
Levi and I are constantly listening to music, and when we find something that makes us think of each other we share it over the speakers @ home. We've listened to many that touch our hearts and make us want to slow dance for a crowd... Dan Aurebach's When the Night Comes, Van Morrison's Into the Mystic, Rolling Stones Wild Horses, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's I need you...... and so many more far and wide in-between, but I keep coming back to this one:
