I love to Sing!

This post is because I was listening to one of my favorite CD's today and as I was rocking out singing I decided that I should share some of the lyrics with ya'll. I Love all types of music, mostly I love songs that 'speak to me', or relates with something I've been through. Anyway this is a song that I really like:

It Passes All My Understanding By Cherie Call
I was sitting in a southbound plane
I was buried in a magazine
When the man in the next seat over
Wanted to talk to me
He talked about the universe
He talked about saturn's rings
He said "I might be an athiest
except for just one thing:
"It passes all my understanding
how it all worked out just right
The distance that we live from the sun
the stars that shine at night
We may prove that is was jsut an accident
But how did it begin?
It passes all my understanding."

I told him, "You are a scholar
You know things that I don't know
But I beleive a God in Heaven
Made everything below
And I know we are his children
I've known it since I was two
but when it comes to being struck with awe
I'm just like you

"It passes all my understanding
How the Lord knows both our names
And he made this world for everyone
That was sitting on that plane
And in spite of all men's distractions
He offers us His peace
That passes all my understanding"


I Skipped one verse but you get the idea...I really like this song and I hope you can get the messge from these words....Kind of goofy but I like it and it's my blog!:)

Three Months Old

Although this is not a great picture of her (she was really tired) Aliya is now three months old!!! We are moving right along.

Dutch Oven Cookin'

This is Derik and two co-workers on Friday at work. They were asked to cook the 'month end meal' for the thirty people in the accounting department. Derik said that it went over well, plus he got three hours paid just to cook lunch...AWSOME!!!

No Alarm Clock

This morning started out really bad....Derik woke me up with a start "What Time Is It?" I looked at the clock and my heart sank. It was 5:55am and I was scheduled to be into work at 6:00am. The alarm clock did not go off and my sweet baby decided that this would be a good morning to finally sleep eight hours at a time..Love it! I jumpd out of bed, threw on some clothes, slapped on the smallest amount of make up I could get away with and put my hair in a ponytail. Derik called work for me and told them I was on my way. I sped all the way and got into my seat by 6:30. AHHHH. Then, I got to work and messed up the first call I took my supervisor had to spend the next twenty minutes fixing my mistake....I felt so frazzled and dumb! The day got better after that, but man what a rocky start.
