Playlist

I've been searching for the best song for my playlist...I found it!! This is Alive Again by Matt Maher

ENJOY!!!

I woke up in darkness

sounded by silence

oh where, where have I gone?

I woke to reality

losing its grip on me

oh where, where have I gone?

Cause I can see the light

before I see the sunrise

You called and you shouted

broke through my deafness

now I’m breathing in

and breathing out

I’m alive again!

You shattered my darkness

washed away my blindness

now I’m breathing in

and breathing out

I’m alive again!

They never loved you

you waited for me,

I searched for you…

what took me so long?

I was looking outside

as a love would ever want to hide

I’m finding I was wrong

Cause I can feel the wind

before it hits my skin

Cause I want you!

Yes, I want you,

I need you

And I’ll do what ever I have to

Just to get through

cause I love you

Yeah, I love you!

RUNNING!

Running is the classical road to self-consciousness, self-awareness and self-reliance. Independence is the outstanding characteristic of a runner. She learns the harsh reality of her physical and spiritual limitations when she runs. She learns that personal commitment, sacrifice and determination are her only means to betterment. Runners get promoted only through self-conquest.

I found this quote and could not explain running any better!!!! I have blogged in the past about why I run, self fulfillment, is the best way I can describe it. Whether it is spiritual, physical, and or emotional, it all comes down to fulfillment! It gives me such purpose. To know that I have reached limits that most are too weak to try, gives me a sense of accomplishment!

I am however, looking for a new challenge and goal...any suggestions?!?!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy 29th Birthday Blake!!!!!!!!

Be the kind of women that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says "Oh CRAP, she's up!"

OH HOLY MOLY AND OH THANK GOODNESS!!!!!

Oh HOLY MOLY!!! I have had the privilege (not really) of having what Blake calls "Bayou Butt!!" This is also known to runners as chaffing!!! YIKES!!! Well everyone here swears by the phenomenon Boudreaux's Butt Paste!! Let's just say I too, now swear by it!!! Haha It is working!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday to my friend Sara!!! We were just talking yesterday how we feel so much more like sisters than cousins, cousin-in-laws for tht matter!!! Happy birthday to someone who is caring, loving, and beautiful inside and out!!! Love and miss you!!

Governor Bobby Jindal

Blake, Governor Bobby Jindal, and me

This was from the other night at a political party that we, along with 24 others, hosted. I was a bit nervous, I don't think I have ever met anyone political before. I didn't want to look or sound like an idiot. Well the looking like part was difficult, it was POURING down rain when we arrived-explanation of the nasty hair! We had a great time and everything turned out well. Other than being introduced all night as Blake's wife Rayne (pronounced Rain over here!) We enjoyed our time with the Governor and the night turned out well.

YAY!!!!!

Yay! I am so excited, Jordan is the winner of Big Brother 11! I have been cheering for her and Jeff since day one! Mainly Jeff because he was SO good looking!!! I am pumped this sweet, cute, little waitress with a southern accent won!!

Biggest Loser started last night too. All I can say is OH MY. Not due to the contestant's sizes, but because of Abby's story. Abby lost her entire family, husband and 2 children in a car accident. To hear her open up and be so honest on national tv, to the details of wishing she had been in the car with them, is amazing. My heart hurts for this complete stranger. I am already hoping she wins this season. Oh the things God has in store for her life! To be spared in such a terrible situation.

Way too many new seasons of shows! Thank goodness for DVR!
