I love you Because

Another Johnny Cash Song:

I love you because you understand dear
Every little thing I try to do
Your always there to lend a helping hand dear
But most of all I love you cause you're you

No matter what may be the style or season
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred- thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The glow to happiness you've opened wide
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you cause you're you

It Aint Me, Babe

I am loving this Walk the Line CD – I can’t even get to the second disk because the first one is so good. I think we need to place this song on our answering machine – well, at least the chorus!! Love you – Babe!

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door

CHORUS:But it ain't me babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you and more
You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And will love you for your lifeAnd nothin' more


But it ain't me babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

I really love it when you do blog. I enjoy reading your thoughts. It seems deeper than when we are just discussing something together. (Usually because we are having to work on something at the house while we are talking.) I hope that you get time to blog more often. I know it is hard to find the time. I have a million other things I am SUPPOSED to be doing right now, but when it comes down to what is really important, I think making sure you know how special you are to me and that I will always be in your corner is truly the most important thing I could do.

I am ready to jump ship with you. A move to Barbados sounds lovely. I would also like the country side of Greece too. We could run a vineyard and travel the countries singing “Pig on Her Head” for millions of children.

I will be praying that, if this job is the one for you, you will get it. I have tried to totally place your job situation and our finances in God’s hands. I have also had to place my job there. Not to sure how stable things are around here. I like to feel secure and provided for so I freak out easily. I have been going through the Scriptures about how Jehovah is our provider and it really helps me keep a good perspective.

That being said – I know you will make the right decision for our family and for you. I want you to be happy in what you do and I want to ensure you have good quality time with Liv and any other children we may have in the future. I want so badly for you to have peace and to be happy. I know you will make the right decision. I love the show an don’t want you to leave, but the idea of you working 8-5 and with good pay, and vacation time, and benefits sounds lovely too. Who knows – we can’t loose whatever you do!

About the Easter letters – I think they would be so special to your family during this difficult time. I hope that you are able to find the time to devote to it. If you feel that God wants you to do this, then you really need to do it. The letters may touch someone the way they touched your parents in the past and call them to do the thing God is leading them to do. Your writing is very moving. It really is a gift.

I feel like I am missing all of the meaning in the “work it out” sentences. I hope we can talk and you can elaborate a bit more…

I love the song! It made me feel very special!! Love you so much! Traci

We have a web blog!

I had no idea that we had a web blog. This is the best news I've heard since that heavy piece of radio equipment fell on my head at the station rendering my short-term memory useless.

Sorry I don't blog more. Most people would use the excuse 'I dont have anything to say' but for me its quite the contrary. I could get on here and write a novel, and a damn good novel at that.

Would anyone really care if I took a job in Barbados and moved us far away from eveyone we know? Huntsville is great but Huntsvillians are turning into villians. Speaking of jobs, Major Ted is one of the few normal people in the poker league and he is handing off my resume and putting in a good word for me with a guy who needs a technical writer. More military related stuff but I feel maxed out with the station. I know that my emotions on the subject ebb and flow but if pride is the only thing keeping me there, then its time to go. However God knows that I'm not leaving until I have something else so we shall see.

Isn't it funny that the minute I start struggling with something my immediate responce is to conquer it and then quicker than Liv can slide down the stairs on her belly I suddenly think "Conquering is hard, I'll bag it and it's no big deal" I then slip into avoidence mode, physcial avoidence but not mental avoidence. Mentally it's an old school typewriter wrapping and tapping at my consciousness. That whole rant is about the Easter letters I am suppose to do for the family. I felt strongly about them then it became a struggle and now I don't know what to do. It will work out, I'm not worried. I just want it to work out. Like most people I'd just like my family to work it out.

My pants are buzzing so its time to go. That's a laundry reference. They were really wrinkly so they are going for a spin. This probably wasn't as funny as you were hoping for so to make up for it, I'll sing for you.

Endless Love

My love,
