I loved the creative title "La La Land" since my nickname is 'Lala' :) So finding a new name to represent my married life now, has been a predicament. I tend to go into my perfectionist-mode and stress out over simple things like this, and until the absolute perfect idea comes to mind, I canNOT proceed.
Suddenly, the little phrase "forever and ever, amen" popped into my head. Although Randy Travis is far too old-school-country, and an artist I don't normally like, I love the sweet song Forever & Ever, Amen. When Andrew & I first started dating, we kindof just stuck this at the end of our "I love yous."
It seemed the perfect title. :).......
" You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die,
I'm gonna love you forever, Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever. Forever and ever amen
They say time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girl's brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I aint in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well I'd love you anyway!
You may wonder how I can promise you now

They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you!
I'm gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever amen
I'm gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever
Forever & ever forever & ever amen"
Anyway, I'm not promising to post ALL the time...maybe not even weekly, but at least I will now have a place to write when I feel like it, without getting hung up on trying to think of a dumb blog title first:)
Ps- I love you, Andrew! Forever & ever, amen! :)
