This song makes me smile. It makes me think of when Joe and I were first dating and I talked him into going to the Hangnail/Dogwood show in Orlando at the last minute. We drove there and back the same night and made it home around 4am. We managed to get lost in Orlando while we were on a highway, and Joe decided that we should keep following it because “Highways don’t just end.” Well, this one did! It just turned into a dirt road. It was like a 4 or 6 lane highway and then POOF, it was a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. We still joke about that when we’re lost if we’re on a highway
Ooh, and Lou’s band opened (Lou from Dear Ephesus - what was his band - MAN, I can’t remember the name - someone post a comment and remind me!). That was fun times. The Hangnail boys were great and thanked me for knowing the words to their songs, LOL.
(Yawn) I am really sleepy today. I can’t figure out why because I ran and drank caffeine. It doesn’t really make sense. I don’t think I’m pregnant, so maybe its just some random tiredness.
This morning was my first morning leading the ladies’ running group at church. I can’t believe that 3 years ago when Jake inspired me to try running, I was so out of shape. I was a size 14 (EEK!) and thought I was going to pass out after 60 seconds of jogging. Now I’m running 6 days a week and leading other women through the same journey. Its really cool. I feel so blessed to be able to help other people to meet some of their health goals. Its so nice.
Church tonight was nice. Of course Juli wanted to chill in the foyer rather than stay in the service, but at the end she tried to go back into the nursery. That totally shocked me. She usually tries to run away as soon as she sees the nursery. Maybe next week she’ll go in and Joe and I can both listen to the service and hold hands and Juli can be all happy. That’s a dreamy thought!
Joe is watching the Denver game downstairs. I love him so much Its amazing how just thinking about someone downstairs, doing nothing, can warm your heart, isn’t it? I truly thank God that he brought Joe and I together so early in our lives. The other day Joe was talking as we drove home and I was just staring at him, thinking of how he is just the perfect man for me. Seriously, I feel like God custom made us for each other. I mean, there’s been other guys in the past that I felt a connection to, but its different with Joe. I know that he’s the one for me. Even though we both screw up and say and do stupid things, I know there’s still no better match.
OK, I’m done with my mushfest. Man, all this sappiness… maybe I am pregnant, LOL.
