This is my favorite song right now:

In My Arms
by Plumb

Your baby blues
so full of wonder
Your curly ques's
your contagious smile
And as I watch you grow up
All I can do is hold you tight
Knowing

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around you
But you will be safe in my arms

Story books
Are full of fairy-tales
Of Kings and Queens
And the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You'll somebody see
The truth for lies
When the

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around you
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
Cause you are never all alone
Cause I will always
Always love you

Hey I
Hey I
Will love

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

In my arms

Everytime I hear this song I loose it. I think back to my teenage years...so confusing and scary and awful. I made so many wrong turns and my mom and dad were always there to lead me back home again. I think to Kenzie and how hard it will be for her and I just want her to know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter what I will always love her. She will be safe with Jake and I. This song is so beautiful you all should listen to it!

Day Four: Seven things that cross my mind a lot

1. AHHHH I OVERSLEPT
2. I wish I could fit into my old jeans
3. My Kenzie Lynn is the most awesome kid ever
4. My husband is the best (he starts my car every morning so its warm when I get in it)
5. Is it almost 5:00?
6. Whats for dinner?
7. AHHHHHHH its so nice to be warm and cozy in my bed

Day Three: Eight things that I couldn't live without!

1. Jake and Kenzie...that was easy
2. My three furry babies
3. My extended family
4. My wonderful friends
5. DVR (I had no idea what I was missing until I actually had it)
6. My driod (I would be so lost without it)
7. Pasta
8. An occasional sip of Mr. Pibb (I cut out soda a month ago but I still gotta have it every once in a while)

HELP

It seriously took me an hour to post this last post and I got so frustrated I almost quite 3 times (i am so impatient!) Can somebody please help a girl out...I need to know how to post a cute picture in my header and I am having issues with my dumb pictures not wanting to go where i want them too! THANKS

DAY TWO: Nine things most people don't know about me!

1. One of my very best friends is Jake's high school sweetheart! We double date ALL THE TIME SHOUT OUT SHERRIL MARSH



2. I am ALWAYS second guessing myself when it comes to my mothering skills!



3. I own two pairs of shoes that I can't walk in. I am a "pro" when it comes to wearing heels but I have met my match with these little buggers. I need to hire a stripper to teach me how to walk in them!

4. Tori Spelling is my hero! I think she is a wonderful mother, great actress, BEAUTIFUL except when she was TOO skinny this past summer (YOU LOOK GREAT NOW GIRL) and a super classy lady!

5. I HATE HATE HATE fish! Jake offered me $200.00 dollars to eat a shrimp and I had an anxiety attack when I went to put it in my mouth! (True story)

6. I am scared to death of birds, deer and fish. THANK YOU Alfred Hitchcock and your stupid move that I HAD to watch in sixth grade, THANK YOU 3 accidents and THANK YOU mr. dead catfish floating at the surface that slit my leg open!

7. We need updated family pictures done badly but I am too scared to get them done because of how badly I have let myself go (LIZ...i am STOKED for your contest and ASHLEY we are going to be in Utah this summer for Whits wedding...I need prices!)

8. I have a "special" language for my animals and they all have first middle and of course last names as well as about 50 nicknames each (Don't worry they don't have a complex or anything!)

9. I am the worlds worst dancer...No Joke...I am horrible...I saw the wedding footage!

Day One: Ten things you wish you could say to someone right now

1. Your one sexy hott man and even though I'm a crazy, moody, mean lady sometimes I love you no matter what. I promise I will try harder to be better...I do see how hard you are trying and I'm so thankful for that.

2. I know you better than anybody in the world and I love you so much!I'm so scared for you right now....your really need to start living in the reality of the situation and not the fantasy world you have created. It's not just about you anymore.

3. I am so glad I stopped being so judgemental because I honestly don't know what I would do without you. I love you and your cute little fam so much

4. Your going to be a wonderful mommy and I love you and LP so much. Its a good thing you stopped calling me flip-out-hair girl cause I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for all your harsh reality slap in the face talks!

5. Where do I even start with you...I call you with a confession and you know exactly what to say to make me feel better or your going through the same thing too. No matter what your always there for me and your the most loyal human being I know. I want nothing but a happy life for you because you deserve nothing less of that!

6. The stuff you said about my family and I has left me so hurt. Not a day goes by where I don't remember how hurt I felt when everything went down. You didn't even have the balls to say I'm Sorry...I screwed up! Your pathetic, selfish, and down right poison and I really hope I never see you again!

7. You three furry four legged creatures will never know how much I truly love you. I consider each one of you my children and I'm so grateful that I have you three to cry on and love on!

8. I am so thankful for the example you both have showed me on how to make a marriage work....it is crazy to me that after 25 years you still love each other the same amount as the day you were married!

9. I'm so glad that we have become so close. I was worried that you and I wouldn't get like that but we did. You and the kids mean so much and I love all three of you!

10. Thank you for introducing Jake and I! You were my first real friend here in GA and I'm so glad you and your family are such a big part of our lives. Your like a sister to me and I love the boys like they are my own! Your husband is pretty awesome too!
