Music

Music in general is awesome. Today's post is about country music though. Country music is to me what the bible is to most people. All it takes is one verse and my entire mood can change. No matter what song it is I always bring it back to my husband somehow. Either the lyrics reminds me of him or us or the guys voice sounds like Jon's. One thing I really love about my husband is that he has an amazing voice. He has that deep, deep voice that is just sooooo sexy. Put some Josh Turner on the radio and OHH MYYYY GOSHHHHHHH. (HUGE smiles on my face!)

Lately the song that really gets me is Man I wanna be by Chris Young. (Another favorite of mine.) If you haven't heard it here are some lyrics.

I wanna be a good man
A do like I should' man
I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see
I wanna be a strong man
And admit that I was wrong, man
God I'm asking you to come change me
into the man I wanna be

There's anyway for her and me to make another start
Could you see what you could do
To put some love back in her heart
Cuz' it going to take a miracle
After all I've done to really make her see

That I wanna be a stay man
I wanna be a brave man
I wanna be the kind of man that she sees in her dreams
God, I wanna be your man
And I wanna be her man
God, I only hope she still believes
In the man I wanna be

Well, I know this late at night that talk is cheap
But Lord, don't give up on me

I wanna be a givin' man
I wanna really start livin' man
God, I'm asking you to come change me
into the man I wanna be






Not saying that Jon has done anything wrong but he is always working at being better for me. Even if he doesn't need to. He is always saying he doesn't deserve me and nonsense like that. What he doesn't see is that I really don't deserve such an amazing man like him. I feel like he is always trying to be this amazing person for me while I just sit back and enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I have done a lot of growing up and maturing and had a lot of epiphanies. I am such a better person than when we started dating, believe me. But hearing this song makes me realize that I can always be better; We all can.
It makes you think that if only everyone just focused on the other person in the relationship like Jon does instead of themselves the world as a whole would be better off. Hmm.

Going to be a couple posts today.

I read about this somewhere but didn't understand it until I saw it on Nicole (flip flops and combat boots)'s blog. So here is the first post!



If you blog is about "marriage, family, faith, decorating, crafts, travel, gardening, saving money, cooking, homemaking, style, and a dash of everyday life!" you should grab the button and join in! (Stolen from Nicole too. I thought the way she said this was cute!)


These are the newest questions:

1. What is your favorite vacation spot?
Myrtle Beach. I have been going since I was really little and it is such a great place. My husband and I were recently there to visit family and we got to talking about vacations. We decided to put Myrtle behind us and create our own vacation spot to take our children to eventually. Maybe your favorite vacation spot will be ours? hehe

2. What are the three qualities that you most admire about your husband (or if you're not married what are the three qualities you would most desire in a man)?
1) He always seems put together. I can freak out and fall apart over something stressful in a second and he never does.
2)The way he loves me. Yes this might sound cliche but I'm serious. My husband is so selfless. He does everything to make me happy and is constantly making me fall in love with him over and over again.
3) His sense of humor. He always makes me laugh and I love it. He doesn't even have to say anything super funny. Sometimes he'll just do a look and it makes me laugh.

3. What has been a meaningful Bible verse to you this week?
That's hard. I usually get a new verse every now and then when I really need one. I haven't needed one this week yet but I'm sure it will be soon!

4. What is your favorite color(or colors) and why?
PURPLE!! Actually concord grape/plum. I just think it's so beautiful and unique. Every time I see it I smile.

5. What is the funniest thing that happened to you in the last 24 hours?
It was probably a "had to be there" moment but... Yesterday I was at volleyball. I went to dig a ball out of the net and Kirk (on the other side) jumped up next to me and like scream/growled. I immediately screamed and obviously lost focus of what I was doing. Everyone laughed at me and I had to laugh at myself too. I appreciate Kirk for always making me laugh but come on!! haha
