good bye 2009

2009 has been good to us. so much happened and to think one year ago we had NO IDEA that any of it was on the horizon... here is our lyrical reflection.

What a difference a day made

Twenty-four little hours

Brought the sun and the flowers

Where there used to be rain

Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof

And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof

Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah

On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun

(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun

(Under the boardwalk) people walking above

(Under the boardwalk) we'll be failing in love

Under the board-walk (board-walk!)

Night swimming deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse

Still, it's so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge

The moon is low tonight

(chip sings here)but there is one thing i haven't done saved 2 months,

bought a little diamond tonight's the night,

feels like perfect timin' down on one knee on momma's front steps man,

i'm gonna die if she really says yes I wanna know how forever feels

Goin' to the chapel and we're Gonna get married Goin' to the chapel and we're Gonna get married Gee, I really love you and we're Gonna get married Goin' to the chapel of love

Drive until the city lights

Dissolve into a country sky

Me and you

Lay underneath the Georgia moon

Do all the things that lovers do

Just me and you

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

Here is to you and yours on the Eve of 2010... Champagne Wishes, Black Eyed Peas and Turnip Green Dreams!

feeling 3 but i am 31

so in the past few weeks in preparation to move, marry and become a mrs. i have felt 3... but i am 31. this picture sums up my emotions... big stacks of boxes all around me full of important things me sitting on the floor next to them trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

why is this?

i am the luckiest girl in the world...

last night on the one month marker to our wedding... chip threw down all the cards and cooked a feast for me. he has cooked before and it has been dang good but this time he threw it all out there... first of all it was a surprise... when i called to see what he was feeling like for dinner he said ... i got it.

he grilled salmon, fried oysters, boiled shrimp and made a delicious rice concoction. WOW! he broke out the candles ... music... and had the sweetest card for me... ALL OF THIS ... why you must be thinking... did you get into an argument... NO ... simply because he loves me.

i cannot wait to be sarah june thomas... and to my students that McThomas.
