December 2014 – Just Stop Trying and It Will Happen…

Month: December 2014

A Thousand Years

So I made this little video.

Really it’s a photo montage of the year, focusing on the most important events…

I chose the song because for a long time now, it’s been a sort of aspirational anthem for me. I always envisioned humming it to my baby, and when I learned I was pregnant in April, it became even more important to me. The lyrics are so spot on, it’s hard for me to imagine my Clara having a more perfect theme song… The lyrics even hang in her nursery.

Thank you all so much for being with me this year, and may 2015 bring us all our hearts desire and more.

So much more.

A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

Thirty-Four (and Thirty-Seven)

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014. 36w 6d. So yesterday was my thirty-fourth birthday. I really didn’t do much to celebrate, since there is so much else happening at the moment, but it was a nice day regardless. Some things were accomplished around the house and office, the husband sent me some gorgeous flowers, and I got
