CMA Awards & Daughtry performs

Mark and I have been impressed every time Chris Daughtry sings, from the first day we saw him on American Idol back in 2005. We even had a chance to see him in concert last year for our anniversary. With his 2nd CD " Leave this town" he does a duet with country music legend Vince Gill, in which they performed live for the first time their hit song "Tennessee Line". This song has made a huge impact on my personal life. The story basically talks about wanting to run away from problems, and yet realizing that in order to really "fix things" you have to face them. Its a song about wanting forgiveness and truly desiring to change. I'd like to share the lyrics with you all. Music is an important part in my life and it seems I really respond to music, even spiritually. Such things as marrying Mark, and other important change I needed to make in my life to make it right... you get the picture. Here is the lyrics Enjoy!

Tennessee Line Lyrics

I open my lungs
To breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now, reminders of how I used to be
I know down the road
My troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window
Hell if I know where I will go
So I will just keep on driving

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learn
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time

Who would've known
That pride is so hard to swallow
As I rest on the shoulder of a road
Growing colder, with the trouble on I own
Should I just keep on driving

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learned
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time

I know I must be doing something right
Head the other way back to where I started out
Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
And stop living with doubt

On my way to L.A.
Looking into the rear view
As the roads fade away
Sworn off my past
The first and last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right
Every wrong turn I've learned
That this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind
It's my heart I'll follow this time

Halloween 2009

Well I know it has been a LONG time since I have posted anything on here, but at least I can say I have kept myself very busy. Between summer vacationS, funerals, and school, we have been just trying to stay out of the Arizona Heat. I will be posting back posts, so if u want to see what we have done throughout the summer just look at our old posts.
Halloween was fun this year, we had it spread out over about 4 days. Wednesday we had a combined Halloween party trick or treating among the classrooms. Thursday the local grocery store had a little trick and treat and games throughout different areas in the store. And Sat we went to a co-worker from Mark's work and had a BBQ and little carnival games. Then we raced home and met friends and neighbor, and went into nice neighborhood, and we should have weighed the booty, but if u can imagine those plastic pumpkins you use to trick or treat with, there was about a inch left from the top full of Candy. Good thing we wore them out they only wanted to go to bed and not eat a bunch of candy, it made separating it much easier.


So time for Costume explanations: Aimee wore a pink princess like dress, and ended up becoming a much toned down version of Glenda the Good witch from Wizard of Oz.
Emily had wanted to be a witch since Oct 1, and was afraid to put green makeup on her face, enjoyed wearing the hat and carrying her broom. Cady was Dorothy, and only by luck. We ended up at a grand opening goodwill, and they were advertising Halloween costumes, and so we went in to see what we could find, found a broom for $2 for Emily, and then found a perfect dress for Cady that had no stains or tears. I later found some red ruby shoes at Target to truly complete the ensemble. So we assumed the Dorothy cast, but it ended with the girls. I was a Nurse/Doctor and Mark was an Awesome Dad.
