The Soundtrack of Our Lives

Is my sister the best or what?
She has added music, and she has outdone herself. Turn your speakers up and enjoy!!!!

I love these songs. They bring such fun memories to mind. Memories of driving to Memphis with Abby, of Daddy singing "my" song(Julie, Do you love me?), of high school, of singing with my mom, of singing loudly in the car. Memories of just how much Abby loved Lionel Richie! It is amazing what music can do. It can transport you right back to the time when you first heard the song. It can put you in the same mood you were in then, even if it was over 23 years ago.

The song One Touch by Nicole C. Mullen is my new favorite song. It is about the story in the Bible that talks about the woman who had had an issue of blood for many years. She had enough faith to go into a crowd of people where Jesus was, because she believed that Jesus had enough power that if she just touched His clothing she would be healed. Can you even imagine the faith that took? When she touched Him, He turned, He had felt the power leave His body and wanted to know who had touched Him. It is the greatest example(in my opinion) of a persons faith and Jesus' great power to heal.
Nicole C. Mullen sang this song at the Women of Faith conference I went to in April. I was blown away by her performance. I couldn't believe someone had actually written a song about my favorite Bible story, I was so excited. The kids and I now listen to this song all the time!!
Thank you Abby Jo, you just made my day! I love you!

Julie, Julie do you love me reminds me of sitting in your bedroom crying the night you got married because you were gone for good. I turned the song on real loud and cried. I love that memory!

2 sets of Jones' reminds me of your Sunbird, Samuel as a baby and your 1st house in Leachville. When I hear this song I can smell you house. I love that!

When I hear Cinderella for the 1000 time each day on KLOVE, I am reminded of Anna screaming "it's my cinderella song, it's my cinderlla song!" as she twirlled around the dining room in her t-shirt and panties. It makes me smile!

Say you Say me reinds me of me when we were little and I told you I wanted this played at my funeral! How funny, but I am serious...light candles and sway in my memory!

Ok, that is enough...I could list my memory or meaning of each song, but I wish not to bore you any longer.

Don't forget Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow. Julie had all their hits. She definitely broadened my music horizons, and I love her for it!

Tina Turner....I forgot Tina. I must add a little "What's love got to do with it" to the playlist. Do you remember me standing on a kitchen chair behind the couch on Skywood, with a hairbrush as my microphone, with my hair all "fro'd" out and lip sincing the song for Meep & Peep during one of their visits? Crack me up!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
