Days 1, 2, & 3

Like many people, I completed the daily gratitude challenge on Facebook during the month of November. It was a great reminder to daily find at least one thing that you are grateful for!

 

I am taking a little spin off for December. I am honoring Ben and my 10 year anniversary (happening this month on the 31st) each day.

 

I am trying to post pictures, quotes, songs, etc that remind me of Ben, our relationship, the past 10 years, or love in general.

 

I figured that I would document on our family journal as well.

 

Day #1

December 1, 2013

Our first picture together ever!

We met in May 2003 and began dating in August 2003.

So young and in love here!!

 

 

Day #2

December 2, 2013

Our most recent picture. It was taken a few days ago before Ben left for training in 29 palms.

Looking a little older but still love this man like crazy....even though he drives me a little crazy sometimes!

 

Day #3

December 3, 2013

The beautiful family that our love has created. So excited for Kenzie to get here and make it complete!!

 

And of course a few songs because my memory associates so much with music.....

 

You had me from Hello: Kenny Chesney

One word, that's all you said
Something in your voice caused me to turn my head
Your smile, just captured me
You were in my future as far as I could see
And I dont know how it happens, but it happens still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will

Well you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello

Inside I built a wall
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't going to love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in

But you had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment I looked into your eyes you won me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you wont let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello

Thats all you said
Something in your voice caused me to turn my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello
Girl, I've loved you from hello

 

 

She thinks my tractor's sexy

(A long, funny, and private joke between Ben and I!)

Plowing these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up a throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

We ride back and forth until we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
One more teeny weeny ride before take her home

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Well she ain't into cars or pick up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor's....

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
