Blog Game

Blog Game!
I was tagged by a friend to do this!

Instructions:
"With as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in: a picture, a poem, a song (or piece of music), a phrase (or quote), an item of clothing, a place, and (just for fun) a Disney princess. If you want to join in, tag 6 more blogs.

Picture: This is a family photo of us getting ready for a Cardinals game when they were in the playoffs. We are ALWAYS trying to find fun things to do together as a family!
Poem:
A Ring
© Heather Twining
It's a symbol of everlasting love
A symbol of forces bigger than us from up above.
Ones undying commitment & trust in another
A special bond that never gives up hope or faith in the other
We wear it show our loyalty and to let others know we are taken.
This little band with a huge message that's never meant to be forsaken.
Its a kiss or a hug at the end of a long day
Its a sympathetic heart when there is no longer anything to say.
Its a standard that has come unglued in the previous years,
A word taken to loosely- a huge commitment taken so lightly it now appears
But for the lucky few, we take this commitment very serious
We know everything about our partner-nothing is held in or mysterious.
We care for our "better half" in ways we never thought we could
Dream big things together-things we never thought we would
We are in fact better with our other half
They are what make life worth it-the things that make us smile & laugh.
In a cold world, its nice to be able to look down and remember that special day in your tux or wedding gown.
Its amazing what a gold band on your left index finger can mean
Its not really about the beginning or end-its about all the memories in between.
One life shared together

Song:
At our wedding we danced to "Better Together" by Jack Johnson. I remember when Shawn and I were first dating we were driving from Strawberry, AZ to Phoenix and Shawn said..."I want you to listen to this song...This is my song to you". Ever since then it has been our song. Here are some of the lyrics.

There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard No song I could sing But I can try for your heartOur dreams, and they are made out of real thingsLike a, shoebox of photographsWith sepiatone lovingLove is the answer,At least for most of the questions in my heartLike why are we here? and where do we go?And how come it's so hard?It's not always easy andSometimes life can be deceivingI'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together[Chorus:]MMM its always better when we're togetherLook at the stars when we're togetherIts always better when we're togetherYeah, its always better when we're together.

Phrase:
Formula For Life
This life is yours, take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to make your life better!

Item of Clothing:
Tank tops. I love the sun...not the heat. You can almost always find me in a cute tank top and of course a pair pf flip flops.

Place:
Colorado! This is where I was born. I have ALWAYS wanted to move back there, but my life has taken me down a different path and I have not quite made it back there to live yet. Maybe one day. This is a picture of Pikes Peak. From almost any home in Colorado Springs you can see this from your back deck. It is a beautiful site! The red rock in front are part of Garden of the Gods. This is a beautiful hike through read rocks and trees.

Disney Princess:
Well I know she is not one of the typical Disney Princesses, but Ariel is my FAVORITE! I remember when my Grandma first gave me the movie...she opened it and watched it first, then VERY carefully put the sticker back on and gave it to me. We laugh about that all the time now. Stay tuned for pictures of Mermaid Morgan's Under the Sea First Birthday Party as well!

Now that I have shared a little about me with you...these are the people I tag to do this too:
Jen Morgan
Paige
Catina
Amanda
Jen Chang
Brenda Lee
