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
LOVE IT. I just cried watching it!!

I love that you’ve incorporated this song. For as long as we’ve been struggling I’ve known I would song this to my babies too one day.

There are so many song lyrics that stick out when you’re desperately in love with a baby that isn’t even forming in your belly yet. I love that you recorded this. For me it was Whitley – More Than Life.

I love this! I walked down the aisle to the Piano Guys version of that song. And since I have been ttc (2 years now) I have been longing to sing it to our future child. Love the video and the frame! Xoxo
