All in a name...

So, in creating this new blog, one of the most difficult things to do was come up with a name. I wanted a name that would sum up my thoughts about my marriage, life and love. I chose This Beautiful Thing because it's the name of one of my favorite songs. Every time I hear it (on my iPod, never the radio) I think of my husband. There are other songs of course, but this one just really gives the big picture of our partnership. I've posted the lyrics here so you can see them...


This Beautiful Thing by Old 97s

Remember the year, look at us then
A day in the life of me and my friend
Nights would come and go on their way
I would stay for another day


Many a sun has risen since then
That many days I've seen her again
She was a whole other star in space
I would stay for all of my days


On my soul you're bouncing about
the cold I know is warming
you will help me figure out
This Beautiful Thing we're forming
you will help me figure out
This Beautiful Thing we're forming


Help me help me when I'm in doubt
Help me find my eyes again
cause I'm a loser crying out
If I was just a friend
If I was just a friend

Help me help me when I'm in doubt
Help me find my eyes again
cause I'm a loser crying out
If I was just a friend
If I was just a friend


Some ole year we will renew
the love we had here when we were just two
then that moment I'll say to my friend
wouldn't you do it all over again?

On my soul you're bouncing about
the cold I know is warming
you will help me figure out
This Beautiful Thing we're forming
you will help me figure out
This Beautiful Thing we're forming
Help me help me figure out
This Beautiful Thing we're forming


See why I love this song?

I love that song. I can't to read more about your adventures in married life. We've been married 6 months & I can't believe how quickly time flies. :)
