I coulnt wait to get home from Kansas City when I heard this song... I remembering crying alot when this song played. =) And now, I'm hoping that maybe Laura will eventually come back where she came from.  I miss her.

 In the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where I come from
Now you can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
Back where I come from

We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine, too
Back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad day light
TV's, they were black and white
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
Back where I come from

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow way
I make it a point to say
That that's where I come from

That's where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Back where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
And I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
That's where I come from

me and my mom, the most amazing woman in the world =)

 best friend.... she and I do everything together!! I love it.

I miss this girl, she need to hurry up and move back home...haha.

I dont have a picture of Drew ( the boy =) buthe's been a serious heart healer for me...I actually found that there ARE good guys out there... sad that they're so difficult to find.

Me and my Daddy on Christmas

I love my Mom. =) She's amazing

Well, looks like I have made Kansas City my permanent home!  I have set myself up with a cozy apartment on the border between Kansas and Missouri, me and Rob work for the same company so it saves us on gas. =)
I have been learning to cook and enjoy making Rob suffer through new recipe's.... but he's a good sport. lol.
Rob bought me a puppy on our anniversary this year and she's the bestest! German shepherd/lab and her name is skylar, she's our little baby.  I got to come home for a little over a week during Christmas which was AMAZING!!!!

I just hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and remember the real reason for this season!

Blessings everyone.

Gratitude

Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain

Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

This Girl.......

LOVES

This boy..... =) =)

 Give me one pure and holy passion.
Give me one magnificent obsession.

     Jesus, give me one glorious ambition for my life:
 To know and follow hard after You.
