Everything...

The blog name I chose came from a song I really love. I'll you why, too! I wanted to share one of my ALL TIME favorite musicians and one of my favorite songs. Michael Buble is Canadian and in the tradition of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, he sings beautiful, warm and delightful ballads about love. 

The song, "Everything" is special to me because it speaks to me of my love relationship with my husband. Our lives have been CRAZY for the past few years! We spent the last 13 months apart while he worked and served in Afghanistan to help with the rebuilding efforts over there. I was here going to to school full-time and being a single parent to our two kids. It was a very difficult time for us and this song became a constant reminder to me of how important our relationship is and how much we really do love each other.

My favorite line in the song is, "And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times, it's you, it's you. You make me sing! You're every line, you're every word, You're my everything."

 He really does make me sing because is my EVERYTHING!

 Here is the link to the song. Enjoy!

Everything

You're a falling star, you're the get away car
You're the line in the sand when I go too far
You're the swimming pool on an August day
And you're the perfect thing to see
And you play you're coy, but it's kinda cute
Oh, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true
Cause you can see it when I look at you
[Chorus]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you; you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well
And you light me up when you ring my bell
You're a mystery, you're from outer space
You're my every minute of my everyday
And I can't believe, uh, that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you, baby, just because I can
Whatever comes our way, oh, we'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do
[Chorus]
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you; you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything
You're every song, and I sing along
Cause you're my everything
Yeah, yeah
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la

The beginning...

This blog has been started by me as a project demonstration for students in the IEP writing class. I wanted to give them something that they could work on and be proud of as well as have a place to share about their experiences in a new country. So, here we go!
