Half a Mile...
While driving in the car, "boyfriend" and I heard this song on the radio. Funny enough, he started to belt out the lyrics as "Half a mile..." I couldn't help but giggle. He pulled a "me"...hehe.
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam,
made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in,
like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I made a plan,
stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang,
'til the day you came
Showing me a better way and all that my love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
I can only fall short for so long
Time will hold, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you with half of my...
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything
Half of my heart
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam,
made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in,
like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I made a plan,
stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang,
'til the day you came
Showing me a better way and all that my love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
I can only fall short for so long
Time will hold, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you
But I can't stop loving you with half of my...
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything
Half of my heart

Where are you Sunshine?
Sunday, Sunday...you weren't very "sunny" today. This morning I got up and around to enjoy a phenomenal sermon (as usual) at church. Luckily, I got to see my best girl-friend and share birthday wishes with her (and the pink-daisy, day-by-day women's Bible we had seen last time we went to the local bookstore together).
After church, we rode together to the nearest b-double-dubs for our favorite wings. Ironically enough, the place wasn't crowded but it was slower service than normal. I didn't mind it so much though. It gave us a little more time to talk.
We drove out to the house immediately after lunch in order to see the latest updates. After admiring my new chandeliers (still in the box, currently) and the installed archways, we started to walk out to the car to head out.
*Insert loud, obnoxiously, scary siren noise (while the sun was shining) here*
As Miss Adele started to walk to her car I told her that I guess we had to go back inside. Hellloooo, the tornado sirens are going off. (She thought it was the 12o'clock whistle...it isn't Saturday, silly). Therefore, we ran inside and turned on the television. It was perfectly sunny out!
Then, the storm hit.
I tell you what, I don't think I have ever seen so much cottonwood blowing in the wind. It literally filled the sky with white puff-balls to where it looked like we were in the middle of a blizzard. Soon after, the hail hit. Tiny ice chips turned into coin-sized balls...then the balls got bigger...and bigger. The trees started to crack in the distance and the sky turned black.
We turned up the t.v. and waited it out. Luckily, the heart of the storm passed over us, and we made it out without so much as a scratch on us (or the vehicles).
Days like this I realize how truly blessed I am. God is so good. I pray for all of those that lost a part of themselves (or even their very life) in these storms. Thank you, Lord for taking care of me and my family...

Happy, Happy Birthday!
So, it is official...I am twenty-two years old.
Back in the day, I remember when I would wake up the day after your birthday and think, "I feel the same today as I always have." However, I am realizing that the older I get...the older I feel. I mean, I am about to graduate college. Four years of dedication filled with hurts, heart aches (and head aches), lost and found friendships and relationships, and long nights of studying...in a blink of an eye- gone.
Looking back, I realize how much has happened in the past four years. Ultimately, I came out of it a different (better too, I hope) girl than when I first began.
Thursday evening I enjoyed some me time as I pampered myself to look pretty. Afterwards, I stopped by the house and talked to my guy. While I was there, I received a phone call.
"Heavenly Hands" flashed across the screen, and I was immediately confused as to why they would be calling me.
Mr. Itwassupposedtobeasurprise immediately grabbed the phone from my hands in frustration and talked to the voice on the other end. As soon as he hung up, I could see his heart drop from his expression and he explained that I had an appointment the next morning at the spa. I wasn't supposed to know about it until tomorrow, but he wanted me to start off the day right since he had to work. I freshened-up my soft, pink-polished fingernails and took a semi-long bath before the water turned cold and headed to bed.
The next morning I woke up ready to relax. I immediately went to the spa and enjoyed the morning with Emily (one of my new favorite people). Literally, my body felt so much better afterwards.
As soon as I stepped inside I saw these beauties:
AND
For my office...
Petite chocolate crystal chandelier with iron finish
How cute are they? I'm doing the office in a soft beige color (called cafe au lait) with dark chocolate brown satin curtains and leopard-print accents. We're laying down wood floors and I plan on using deep reds to offset the brown. We already have a desk and credenza that we are refinishing!
After enjoying a little squealing time from the shock of my chandeliers, I pulled a lawn chair into the garage and started garage sale-ing. We had to call the water utility company to get our number since we planned it last minute.
The day was gorgeous. I almost didn't want to go inside...almost. After a while, my stomach got the best of me and I was anxious for dinner. I took a good long hour to get ready before heading out for my birthday dinner.
Since our first date consisted of more talking than eating, we went back to try for a second time. The place was packed, and we had to park down the street and take the shuttle just to get there. Once they dropped us off, we put our names down and waited. Ironically, it wasn't that long of a wait for just the two of us.
They sat us next to the window where we could overlook the sunset near the lake. Appetizers consisted of ceasar salads and fresh deviled eggs with a side of ripened avocado. Then, I dug into my delicious sirloin with burgundy mushrooms and red-skin mashed potatoes...ymmm.
After dinner, I was too full to do much more than walk to the shuttle. The driver dropped us off at the pickup truck and we started to drive to a chocolate shop. Unfortunately, we took a wrong turn and ended up getting back on the highway in the opposite direction. Thus, we made the decision to head back to the house. While there, I started my usual weekend laundry and called it an evening.

Since the weather turned out to be so beautiful, my sweet boy came home from work early and decided to have a last minute garage sale since the entire neighborhood was. He tossed boxes into the driveway and sat outside with the puppies. As soon as I pulled into the driveway, I had to laugh. I gave him a great big hug and he told me to run on inside to get my birthday gift...he claimed he got it on sale at one of the garage sales...he lied.
As soon as I stepped inside I saw these beauties:
For the entry-way...
Beaded and crystal-drops chandelier with iron finish (it doesn't have the bronze that's shown)

The weekend consisted of the usual yardwork, housework, and breaks for food and family. Too bad I ended up getting sick on my actual birthday and traded in fun for a three hour nap...boo. All-in-all though, it turned out to be a nice birthday.
Oh the simple things...
