First Impressions

What was your first impression of Katy Perry’s song “Firework”? To be honest, I thought it was all about sex. I was quick to jump to conclusions and I was wrong. Brett, my husband, REALLY loves this song. He told me to listen to it again, and really listen to the words. Check out this video.

What comes to your mind now? Listening to the lyrics really help me put it into perspective. Seeing the video clarified things even more for me. There’s a little bit of all of us in this song, I think.  For Brett, the first thing that pops into his head when this song comes on is Emma.  It’s easy to see why, especially now that I’ve watched this video.

Where have we been the last 5 months? (It’s been that long, sad but true)  It’s kind of hard to say.  I felt like in the beginning of the New Year, I didn’t have much to write about.  And then came the last month of school.  And BAM!  I had a lot to write about.  Then the problem was finding the time to write, and knowing exactly how much I could write!

There’s so much to share, I won’t give you the details tonight.  But I will share details soon.  And I’ll tell you exactly what has happened.  I want you to know the journey we’re on.  I want to encourage people who may be on the same journey.  This is not an easy path, but I wouldn’t be anywhere else.

I promise to come back with the story.  And I apologize that it’s been so long!  I’ve missed blogging.  Now it’s time to catch up!
