Music Monday.

 I don't really have a certain topic for my blog today, but I have been doing some heavy writing here lately, so I decided to just share my current playlist with you.
 I try to keep 10 songs under "mylist" on my iPod, but I can't get enough of these 15 songs, so consider this a bonus?
Yay for bonuses?
High five!
Anyway, I'll post them for you, along with my favorite lyrics from each.

Tell Me I'm A Wreck, Every Avenue

"When you tell me I'm a wreck, you say that I'm a mess, how could you expect anything less? You latched onto me, then cried that I strung you along." 

Grenade, Bruno Mars

"If my body was on fire, you'd watch it burn down in flames. You said you loved me. You're a liar 'cus you never, ever did."

Little Miss, Sugarland

"Little miss checkered dress, little miss one big mess, little miss i'll take less when I always give so much more. It's alright, it's alright, it's alright. Sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win."

Heartbeat, The CO & Tyler Ward

"I don't wanna leave this heart alone. I just wanna go wherever you go. I just wanna come back, pick it up - it's love that we're fightin' for."

What She's Doing Now, Garth Brooks

"There's somethin' about this time of year that spins my head around, takes me back, makes me wonder what she's doin' now."

AND

"Just for laughs, I picked up the phone & dialed her old number; no one knew her name. I hung up the phone and sat there & wondered if she'd ever done the same."

Guinevere, Eli Young Band

"She carries memories around like souveniers down in her pockets. She shoulda let some go by now but came seem to drop it. Says forgiveness ain't nothin' but a lifeless tire on the shoulder of her soul that never rolls."

Kiss Goodbye, Little Big Town

"When you lose someone the first thing that goes through your head is if you run fast enough, you just might catch up, but it don't work like that. You just gotta watch them fly, stand there in the spotlight. You wanna swallow up your pride, you know it's gonna be alright. Wish it well & close your eyes with a kiss goodbye."

Best I'll Ever Be, Sister Hazel

"So I wait and I wait, and I run old scenes through my tired head of the days we laid by the school and said 'forever'. Is that the best I'll ever be? I miss you. I miss talkin' all night long with you, and I need this to find a way to your home. My love, can you hear me?"

Beaches of Cheyanne, Garth Brooks

"They say she just went crazy, screamin' out his name. She ran out into the ocean, and to this day they claim: if you go down by the water, you'll see her footprints in the sand 'cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyanne."

She (For Liz), Parachute

"How can only thing that's killin' me make me feel so alive? I couldn't speak. I couldn't breathe to save my life. All of my chances swim like sinkin' ships. This time is it."

Heaven, Warrent

"The memories are gray, but man, they sure are comin' back. I don't need to be the king of the world, just as long as i'm the hero to this little girl."

Secrets, One Republic

"Amazing that we got this far, it's like we're chasin' all those stars."

Kiss Me When I'm Down, Gary Allan

"It's been a year since last weekend when you swung by."

Angels on the Moon, Thriving Ivory

"Don't tell me if i'm dying, 'cus I don't wanna know. If I can't see the sun, then maybe I should go. Don't wake me 'cus I'm dreaming of angels on the moon where everyone you know never leaves too soon."

Right on Back to You, Keith Urban

"I don't know where i'd be without you. I guess I get scared, and that's why I act like such a fool 'cus you're the one thing I can't lose. I feel the tears comin, and I wanna cry. I think of us, and all the love comes shinin' through. It always leads me righ on back to you."

Happy Monday, friends. 

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day Twenty Four!

Day Twenty Four: iPod Shuffle (first 10 songs)

So, instead of iPod, I am going to do my iTunes! I will then post my favorite line of the song.

1.) We Rode in Trucks - Luke Bryan

 "Down where I was born, it was heaven on earth.

The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt.

The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright.

Where I grew up, we rode in trucks."

2.) It Would Be You - Gary Allan

"if it was a blizzard, it would be a record breakin' cold,

& if it was a lie, it would be the biggest story you've ever told."

3.) Famous in a Small Town - Miranda Lambert

"Let's go on down to the quick stop
Wear your yellow shades
And I'll put on my tight jeans
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
And we'll let em point and stare in disbelief."

4.) Walk You Home - Karmina

"Need the band to play the song, 

someone's hand to keep you strong.

It's harder when you're on your own;

success is not the same alone. 

Can't have up without the down,

need the straight to have the round.

I'll provide the harmony -

your song is best accompanied."

5.) Waiting for My Real Life to Begin - Colin Hay

"& you said, 'Be still, my love.

Open up your heart;

Let the light shine in.'

Don't you understand?

I already have a plan;

I'm waitin' for my real life to begin."

6.) Open Arms - Journey

"We sailed on together;
We drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.
So now I come to you with open arms,
Nothing to hide, believe what I say."

7.) Heaven - Casey James (or Bryan Adams/Jason Aldean)

"Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down."

8.) To Make You Feel My Love - (MY MAN) Garth Brooks

"The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothin' like me yet."

9.) Dare You to Move - Switchfoot

"Everybody's watching you now;
Everybody waits for you now.
What happens next?
I dare you to move.
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor;
I dare you to move
Like today never happened -
Today never happened before."

10.) One Day You Will - Lady Antebellum

"Down the road the sun is shining.

Every cloud has a silver lining,

just keep holdin' on.

Every heartache makes you stronger, 

and it won't be much longer. 

You'll find love; you'll find peace,

and the 'you' you're meant to be.

I know right now that's not the way you feel -

but one day you will."

it's like a river that's so wide, it swallows you whole..

"I'm leaving to go to the house now."

"You are so sweet, just take care of him for me, he needs you."

"I know you can be strong for him,God has put you in his life for a reason."

"He'll open up to you, just be there for him."

"Is your honey going with you?"
"No..she couldn't."
"Then your probably not going to see anything."

"I love me a redhead."

"Is this real, because I'm really hopin it's a bad dream."

"Somebody just please wake me up."

"He loved this song."


You never can believe that a life could be ripped away from you in the blink of an eye. Someone you've grown to love & adore, vanishes, without a chance to say goodbye. A good person, a Christian man. We all wonder why, but we all know that God has His reasons. He is in complete control of what happens here in this old world, and a man is far better off there, than here.

As we exited the truck, oh, the truck. Emotions that I havent felt since two years ao, overwhelmed me. It overwhelmed me to the point of my knees shakin, but I have to be strong. I need to be, for him.
We made our way behind the church, my hand in his, that's where it's belonged for the last few days, we stopped. The agony flew through me like a ton of bricks crashing on my heart. This is so surreal. We walked, we looked, and we cried. The cemetery is a bautiful place at that time of the day, surrounded by trees, it's almost hidden. The sun was turning into a deep orange, pushing light through the trees, and a gentle breeze was blowing. There was no cloud in the sky, it was a beautiful day.
Not being able to comprehend everything that's taken place in the last 72 hours has taken a toll on everyone. You keep believing that you're going to show up, and he'll be there, like he always had been. But, he won't. He'll never be at the door to greet us, at the kitchen table to talk, at the edge of their porch waving, in the shop working, or smiling on the carport again.
This isn't a dream, these things really happen, and..we have to learn to ride the tide; that doesn't mean that I won't miss that man as much as I would if I was kin to him myself.

Please continue to pray for Shea, and his family, your prayers mean more to him than you will ever know.

In loving memory of:

quiero de tu novio para siempre!

"make a wish"
"..what if i have everything i could ever wish for?"
"then wish that nothing changes."


"it would be prudent that we're not friends, and that you stay away from me, but i'm tired of avoiding you."

I don't question what i tell you, the words flow freely from my lips
& as soon as they fall out of my mouth,
the confidence i've placed in you sweeps in and takes my words
to the deepest part of you; hiding them so that only you
& i can't find them again.
I admire that about you, knowing that i can trust you.

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to meAll the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go
I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go
I will be, all that you want
And gather myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay.
I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me.
And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go.
Cause without you I cant breathe
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I've got, you're all I want
And without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see,You're all I need.

i was so caught up in holdin' what i never thought i'd find..

There's a place I've been lookin' for,
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it Couple times,
even settled down
And I'd hand around just
I know now the place that
I was trying to reach
Was you, right here in front of me
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd re-live all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here,
right here.
It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take To get me in your arms that way
In a love I never thought I'd get to get to
And if that's the road God made me take to be with you,
Then I'd re-live all the years, be thankful forthe tears i've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here.

"peace doesn't mean living without conflict."


ashdjkashbjahjasdgjh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm so so so so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cantata?
Amazing.
It was truly great.

"Julianna, you made me so proud. I'm so glad i got to see that tonight, Pawpaw would've been so happy to've had you in the choir with him. I love you, you're special, don't ever doubt that."
-I hadn't even thought about it. It hadn't crossed my mind. Until then.
How happy it would've made me to have been able to sing with him, i never had the chance.
I know he & Meamaw were there in spirit.


i'm tired, have a headache, and sooo..i'm callin it a night!
Maybe my next post will be a little more enthusiastic.

favorite txt of the day:
1) "I missed you the moment you stepped outta my truck. When i look over at my passenger seat, i still see you sittin there with your beautiful smile."
2) "It's almost like a dream, but the best dream i've ever had."

mmm...life is so good.
