I've been tagged. . .

Kandid Kiwi "lyric tagged" me, so here's my song lyrics. And I'm tagging Missing Mississippi, Pat and Jasmine, and Memoirs of a Mommy.

This song is called Storm by Lifehouse. Since the beginning of the summer I've kind-of felt like the waves have been crashing over my head. With all of the stuff at church and then losing a close friend, it's been a lot to take. But I know that God is there for me, and he will catch me when I fall. So this song has been a real comfort and so has Cheeky. I mean how could you not look at her and smile?




How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
This darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And I know everything will be alright

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything is alright
Everything is alright

Happy 6 Months Old!

27 Years Old

I had a good birthday today. We went to Le Peep for breakfast, then we went to Target (which is always a must on my birthday), and then we came home and just kind-of hung out. The funnest thing we did for my birthday was a couple of weeks ago when we went to the Lifehouse concert. That was the best concert I've ever been to. It was so much fun. I can't wait for them to come back again.

Since I'm getting older, I thought about things I want to do in my life. So I made a list.

(not in order, and nothing too serious)

- Skydiving
- Learn Japanese
- Learn to Snowboard
- Have as many kids as possible (adopted and biological)
- Go to Japan, Germany (been twice), and Hawaii
- Get a Tattoo (hehe, I know, bad Erika)
- See Lifehouse in concert at least 10 more times
- Ride on a motorcycle again
- Take a tour of Pixar
- Go swimming with Dolphins

And I get to do one of these in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned to find out which one. :-)

Poor Little Cheeky

Last night Cheeky (that's her official nickname) started to get a bad cough. She slept pretty good but this morning her cough sounded worse. We took her to urgent care and the doctor said she just has a cold. So it's hugs and cuddles for now.

And today was her first time to stay home from church. She missed her church family.
