Do you have a favorite song?

Reenie asked me if I have a favorite song of all time. Not like a favorite song in a category but a favorite song of eternity. I really do not know if I do. How do you decide if you have one? And how do you know what it is?

But I did ask Rick what song he would consider "our song." He had some interesting picks, but here's what we were saying:

1. Take Me The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson - this was the song I listened to while falling in love with Rick. And then we danced to it at our wedding. Not for our first dance though. But the line "sew on patches to all you tear" was meant for us.

2. Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliet - a Rick pick. I think he likes it because he can sing the boy part and I can sing the girl part.

3. I'm Yours by Jason Mraz - this song immediately puts me in a Jeep in Hawaii, driving around with my husband and smiling because I can't believe we're married. So wonderful.

What about you? Do you have a song (or songs) that is special to you? Please share.

My blog is boring

But my life is not.

Sorry that I haven't put much on here, but it is due to two reasons:
1. We do not have the internet at home. I know, a tragedy.
2. I have been trying to find time to get my pictures off of my new camera so that my post will be more exciting. But then the question remains - how do I put the pictures on the computer onto my blog without the internet? It is a vicious circle.

So a boring (no pictures) update:
1. We went on vacation. Rick played countless games of euchre and tennis. I read and watched Tabatha's Salon Takeover with Meg and Corey.

2. UMatt and Jodie got married! And then Sharpie and Mike got married! We are so happy for them both. I have some really good pictures from those two...just wait and see.

3. We started leading the teen Alpha group. They are some pretty cool teens but they have a lot of questions about the end of the world. I'm looking forward to the retreat when I can get them hyped up on sugar. Then things will get interesting.

4. We've done lots of other fun things - watched the Mell kids and built gigantic lego towers, ate Mexican ice cream with Alex & Michelle, saw gigantic pumpkins, hung out with lots of friends.

5. Coming up - plan Unhearts week on facebook, go to the college age retreat, have a 1-year "courtship" anniversary.

I made Rick a contributor so I know he will have lots of interesting things to say. He is my BFFL (pronouned biffle).
