TGIF!

Hello Friday! How nice it is to see you today! I have been thinking it has been a day ahead of the actually day all week! But alas, you are here and I am thankful!

Excuse me, I just realized that it is friggin July 16th...Where the heck did the first two weeks of July go? Down the toilet? In two weeks it will be AUGUST! I am having way too much fun this summer for it to end!

So, this might be TMI (too much info) but I feel like all I have done this week is PEE! I swear this week's dare is going to make my calf muscles super strong from going up and down the stairs to the bathroom every hour! My skin better be a glowing by the end of the week with all of this hydration!

I have a super fun but busy week planned and I cannot wait for it to start. 2 for $5 drinks at the ball field and boating, it will be great! But for now I wanted to share with you a song I heard on the radio yesterday that made me smile and think of home. I would strongly suggest downloading it, even if you aren't a country music fan, ha ha!


Jason Michael Carroll
Where I'm From

On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
So if you'd like the first one can be on me
He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome
Tell me son, Where do you call home

I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church

The courthouse clock it still don't work
Where a man's word means everything

Where moms and dads were high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much

But its where I'm from

So we drank that round and then another
There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends


Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen

The truck's a ford and the tractor's green

And Amazing Grace is what we sing


Well there's a county fair every fall


And your friends are there no matter when you call


Yeah It may not sound like much but it's
Where I'm from

And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits haven't always been my style
See I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in '63
And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen

Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still don't work
Where a man's word means everything

Where moms and dads were high school flings

Gave their children grandmothers maiden name

Yes it may not sound like much

I said it may not sound like much

but it's where I'm from

it's where I'm from

Where I'm from
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......

Have a great weekend!
