Now that I've put up a song with no meaning, I've got to even it out with this beautiful song. It was #1 for 4 WEEKS! That's a long time! If you haven't heard it, it's definately worth finding and listening to. I haven't seen the music video yet, but I'm sure it's great :) Anywho, hope you enjoy!
House that Built Me
I know they say you can't go home again,
I just had to come back one last time,
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam,
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine.
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom,
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar,
I bet you didn't know under that live oak,
My favorite dog is buried in the yard.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house that built me.
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years,
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine,
Plans were drawn and concrete poured,
Nail by nail and board by board,
Daddy gave life to mamas dream.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house that built me.
You leave home and you move on and do the best you can,
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am,
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,
This brokenness inside of me might start healing,
Out here it's like I'm someone else,
I thought maybe I could find myself,
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave,
Won't take nothin but a memory,
From the house that built me.

Stupid Song
This song is so stupid it makes me laugh. Whoever spends their time writing stuff like this needs a life...
I haven't been to church since I dont remember when
Things were goin great til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you cant go hatin others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them
I pray your brakes go out runnin down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill
and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are honey,
I pray for you
I'm really glad I found my way to church
Cause I'm already feelin better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I'm goin take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin up and I'll keep prayin for you
I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend
and wake up with his and her tattoos
I pray your brakes go out runnin down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill
and knocks you in the head like I like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far,
in your house or in your car,
wherever you are honey,
I pray for you.
I pray for you

Totally Random Story
While we were at Camp Zarahemla for Memorial day, Brinnley, Lauren, Briana and I played the story game. You know the one; the you go around in a circle and each person says one word until a sentence is formed. It was around 12 o'clock midnight when this was going on, so they might be a little strange.... but here's what we came up with :)
Ducks are delicious and nutritious because they eat gooses. Obviously Lindsey has serious rabies and smells like petunias and bites me because I'm a ding-dong. Ice cream melts on Cameron because his brain is ice cream. Llamas spit creatively on Hercules and digest Lauren with difficulty. Tomatoes bombared the McDonald's sewer ferociously at midnight. Platypuses make fairy wings for toothpaste. Ashtons smell seriously delicious only if they eat prunes. Dufensmertz the hobo creates cardboard hotels with worms and Perry the Platypus. Hermit crabs race rapidly in Briana. Johnny Depp is handsome, creepy, and he loves Alice. However, bodyguards curse toothpaste with the Wicked Witch of the West. Broomsticks frighten little Munchkins and frogs. Kermit the Frog swallows canoes. Inside are tadpoles, cantaloupes, and Johnny Depp. Julie Andrews loves fish and camps where Oompa Loompas nestle. Birdies swim graciously with Lindsey and Brinnley and Johnny Depp. Kermit cuddles ibuprofen before he dies. Toothpicks retire into mushrooms that tackle rainbows. Justin Bieber sounds freakishly girly. Huggies pertain to Noah and Moses. Carebears snore like wolverines during hibernation and dinnertime. Micheal Jackson dances like he just needs to eat ibuprofen before he explodes!!! Smelly bellybuttons can poison other hairballs, earwax, and Johnny Depp. Briana will be flying and crash into Kermit and Super Grover. Richard Armitage crawls nobly into the crash to die. What is this world coming to?! Bedtime would never exist except George Washington died!
Once again, this was at Dark o'thirty in the morning, so it might be a little weird and slightly deranged to you, but it was hilarious to us.
There are a few reoccurring themes throughout, like Johnny Depp, ibuprofen, and Kermit; however, I think it makes it all the more enjoyable :)
Ciao!
