I Hope You Dance

I have loved the song "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack ever since it first came out. I hadn't heard it in forever and it came on the radio just now, and it made me cry! This song has so much more meaning when you have a child, and I never even really thought of it that way before... so I am posting the lyrics, and I hope it touches all your hearts, too.


I HOPE YOU DANCE
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance....I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance....I hope you dance....I hope you dance...I hope you dance....
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance....I hope you dance

I hope you dance....I hope you dance...I hope you dance....I hope you dance....
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone
Thanks for letting me share that beautiful song with you, and may your little ones
always choose to dance. :)

FaVoRiTe FoTo FrIdAy!


I am following Heather's lead and am also going to try to keep this "Favorite Foto Friday" thing up...we'll see how it goes ;)
This picture was taken a couple weeks ago, and she thought that my friend Reena was pretty funny. She likes to be talked to and acknowledged...she's pretty funny herself.
***Hope you all have a good weekend!***

SHE IS GETTING SO BIG! We can't believe how
much she's grown in the past couple weeks!
This picture was taken of her at 6 weeks old, and I just love it! I printed one off for my station at work and I made Jason put one in his wallet. LoL Hope you all enjoy it!

Steve, Heather and their family come up in only 4 days! YEAY! We are so excited!

Life Is So Hard!




I just had to post these pictures of Nichole! She is so funny, she's starting to stick out her lower lip when she's upset or getting ready to cry, so it's hillarious to watch! I am so glad I caught it on camera, although I am sure there are going to be MANY more chances! :)

Things here have been going well, we are finally used to having a baby around, we don't feel like we are living with an alien anymore, she's one of the family now. :) Anyways, not too much else going on. I start my job at the bank on March 20 and I am looking forward to going back to work, even though I know it will be hard to leave Nichole, I will make it through okay.
