What's in a Song??

So Dave and I have a song since about right after I moved in with him.... I don't know if real people do this anymore or if it is just high school kids. The song is a super sweet song, and here is the big surprise he picked it out. He came home from the farm one night and while I was making dinner he downloaded the song to his iPod and then played and danced with me in the living room. SunShine
I was super surprised when he did this. It was something I always thought was a super romantic thing, but never thought I would find a guy that would actually do it. And I never told Dave that I always wanted to dance like that in the living room. And I never thought he was the type of guy to do that!! But it will always be one of my favorite memories with him.

But... there have been a number of other songs that have come up that always make me think of Dave...

She Daisy -- Passenger Seat
Kenny Chesney -- She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

And there is one that made him think of me...
Kenny Chesney -- You and Tequilla

See I am a person who loves music! I always have it playing. I have soundtrack for my life. Songs can remind me of certain moments or people. The good, the bad, and the ugly...

So last night when we were driving a song came on the radio,
Are you Gonna Kiss Me or Not
and I told Dave that I thought the song should be "Our Song". It was US.. Even the name of it is something I say to him ALL the time. Like Daily!!

So I have a question for all of you... Is it ok to change "Your Song"?

My Worst Nightmare

For some reason about a week ago I have started to nightmares. Wedding nightmares! Terrifing nightmares! All about the darn girls I have asked to stand up in my wedding...It could just be because they are all big pain in butt!! Or more than likely it is because I am starting to stress about wedding details.

The first dream I had I got a call from the bridal store saying the girls dresses were in and ready to be picked up. I was really upset because the dresses weren't even supposed to be ordered yet. I wanted them to wait till the end of Augustish, to order the dresses, and here they were in already. And then when I go to pick them up Not one of the girls ordered the right dress or in the right color! It was a disaster! How could they do this to me? What were they thinking? Well apparently none of them really liked the first dress we picked out and so they all decided to just order whatever they wanted!! Damn girls, don't they know this isn't about them? Don't they know I want it to be all about me? I want them to wear potatoe sacks and look hideous so I will be the prettiest one there!!

The second dream was on the day of the wedding, and yes it involved those darn girls again!! Only this time I was up in a balcony (not sure where because our church doesn't have a balacony) but there I was with my mom watching all the guest come in and I noticed the girls walking around in RED dresses!! Don't know if they were the right style or not all I know is they were RED!! I flipped out broke down in tears! My mom tried to comfort me and tell me the color didn't matter, but I didn't want to hear it. I was going to call off the wedding because the girls ruined it!

Needless to say I wasn't really stressed about the dresses until I started having dreams about those damn bridesmaids! Maybe I should bench them all and choose some new ones? If your interested let me know I might be looking for some new recruits!!

Big Changes On the Horizon

So maybe I am a little crazy... Or maybe a lot crazy!!

Not only am I planning a wedding right now, but I accepted a new job! So I get the stress of planning a wedding (which actually hasn't been too bad yet) and the stress of a new job!

And if that isn't enough Dave just accepted a new job too! Yes we both put in our notices within days of each other and we both start the new jobs on the same day! It wasn't planned it just sort of happened that way!

My new job is going back to more accounting and less admin!! Yeah me!! for a large farming company in Alden called Summit Farms

Dave has taken more of sales position with a different company.

So the adventure continues. Hopefully we will both love our new jobs. I know we are both more than able to do excellent at the jobs!

The Hardest Part

So I have been just a trucking along with the wedding plans!

Now that the big stuff has been taken care of... the stuff everyone else cares about, I am trying to figure out the most important part to me... the ceremony. I want to make sure I have just the right songs, and just the right bible verses picked. This is the hardest part of me.


I have some songs for walking down the aisle, for the unity candle, but how do you make sure you have just the right one. Just when I think I do I hear another song that makes me think... well maybe that song will work.

I want to make sure the words speak to exactly what Dave & I feel about this day, (ok well mostly me, because I think Dave will be happiest when he gets to have a beer in his hand!!).

I settling on the final songs and picking out the bible verses for the readings will be the part that will take me longest, and will be the part that matters the most to me! Nobody else might remember them the day after the wedding, but I will!

I will remember them till the day I die ... loving this man!
