Twenty-One Years Of Promises

 

I have no ring for your finger
I have no banquet table to lay 
I have no bed of feathers

Whatever promises I made
I can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below

But I'll walk beside you, love

Any way the wind blows 

I don't need gold, don't need silver

Just bread when I'm hngry

Fire when I'm cold 

Don't need a ring for my finger 

Just need a steady hand to hold

Don't promise me fair sky above 

Don't promise me kind road below

Just walk beside me, love 

Any way the wind blows 

I don't know where this road will end 

But I'll walk it with you, hand in hand 

I can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below 

But I'll walk beside you, love 

Any way the wind blows 

Do you let me walk with you? 
I do

I do

I do

And keep on walking, come what will? 
I will

I will 

We will. 

-Promises from Hadestown

Happy twenty-first annivesary, David! Had this song been out when we got married I have no doubt we would have used it as our wedding vows or our first dance song or both. Thank you for walking beside me these past twenty-one years. Here's to the next twenty-one! xo

And That's A Wrap

 

And that's a wrap on this school year AND the girls attending public school! It was an interesting experience for sure, and lots was learned, the biggest take away being that they are homeschoolers through and through (and we are a better homeschooing family than traditional school family for sure)! Excited to have them returning home to finish their high school years! Peace out, Parker! It was a wild ride, and we are grateful for the teachable moments and friends made along the way but we are ready to get back to our regularly scheduled programming!

As is our tradition, we ended this year with ice cream! The girls opted for a trip to Ben & Jerry's today! 

Have a wonderful summer, everyone! xo 

Lest We Forget

Today we attneded the Memorial Day parade in town, as we do every year, as a way to pay our respects and honor and remember those who gave their lives in battle. As a Gold Star family this day is especially poignant for us as one of my father's brothers was killed in action in Vietnam. He was a few days shy of turning twenty years old.  

I am so grateful that as a nation we have set aside this day to honor those who died in battle. I am grateful to have seen less and less "Happy Memorial Day" on social media. It is so important that we take this day to remember....
