Some tidbits and my song of the moment

~ Josh turned the heat on! Okay, so he says he did it for me, but I did not cave. :) The thermostat is now set on 58. I'm still in layers, but I'm not complaining. ~


~ We had an awesome weekend with the fam. I didn't take many pictures because I was determined to enjoy every minute of hide and seek, reading books, giving advice on new glasses, playing cards, watching movies and of course, snuggling with Gage. I did manage to sneak in this one though. Isn't he a natural? ~

~ I just finished the last book of the Twilight series. It was so hard to put down. I think I'm becoming a fan in spite of myself. It's probably time to read something with a little meat to it though. ~


~I love Sara Groves. I've heard her Christmas cd is really good too. My song of the moment ... ~

What I Thought I Wanted by Sara Groves

Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box
Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off
What he thought he wanted, what he got instead
Leaves him broken and grateful

I passed understanding a long, long time ago
And the simple home of systems and answers we all know
What I thought I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and somehow peaceful

I keep wanting you to be fair
But that’s not what you said
I want certain answers to these prayers
But that’s not what you said

When I get to heaven I’m gonna go find Job
I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
How to be broken and faithful

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted

Staring in the water like Esops foolish dog
I can’t help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
What it was I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and grateful

I’m broken and grateful
I want to be broken and grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
