Please touch my hand David Gray

Oh David Gray…  What a wonderful concert you put on.  Justin and I went to his concert this last Monday night with some of our friends.  It was a little extra special for us because at our wedding our bridesmaids walked down the aisle to "Please Forgive Me."  An amazing song!   It was such a great night.   And to see them in Paris!  My goal for the night was to touch David’s hand.  Toward the end of the show, a few people started to make their way in front of us!  We were not going to have it because we were literally RIGHT in front of David with just one person between us.   Justin said something to them about not standing in front of us.  One of the girls replied back to Justin to not get his "knickers all twisted."  It was so cute.  Even though she was being rude,…

Dreaming of a Spanish Woman

As some of you may know, Justin has been out of town for a few days.  He is in Switzerland at an arts and music conference.   I was super worried about not being able to sleep while he’s gone because for the last 8 years I have either been married, or had a roommate.  There has been a handful of days where I have had to sleep in an apartment or house alone, so I am not very keen on staying by myself!   My first night was WONDERFUL!  It was way better than I could have imagined.  I took a bath and got cozy.  Then I read for a bit and fell right asleep.  Last night was just a little different.  I knew I had to wake up early for a seminar where Brian McLaren was the speaker, so I wanted to get as much sleep as I could.  I…

Fatty Fatty two by Four!

While growing up, my dad found delight in teasing both my sister and me. He taught us all the wrong childhood sayings. We would go to school thinking we were all cool saying to kids, "Fatty, fatty two by four hanging from a telephone wire!" Or, "Liar, liar pants on fire couldn’t get through the bathroom door!" Yes, we were mean little devils. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized I had been deceived for all those years! But as a child, these sayings made a lot of sense to me. In my young child mind I pictured a little kid trying to get into the bathroom so he could put the fire out in the toilet or the sink. Funny, huh? I remember picturing a "fatty" hanging from a telephone wire, but it didn’t make as much sense as the liar putting out a fire in…
