I have no idea why. I think I just like even numbers.
I kinda want to have another kid so I can have an even number. I do recognize that is a messed up reason to have another child but still I like even numbers. I mean everyone has a buddy at Disneyland. And that my friends is super important!
So today's the last video.
It's kinda sad, I know.
I got one for ya.
It's so NOT original,
but it is appropriate.
Do all ya'll know about this song? I sure didn't. Let me tell ya about it. I totally learned everything from Wikipedia (which I realize is NOT the most reliable source). But it's what I got. So here ya go...
Auld Lang Syne is a Scotspoem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many countries, especially (but far from exclusively) in the English-speaking world; its traditional use being to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The song's Scots title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago", "days gone by" or "old times". Consequently "For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, is loosely translated as "for (the sake of) old times".
The lyrics go like this...
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
Dear 2011,
It's been real. Over all I'd say we had a blast. We had a blast cause we lived. We were happy and sad, excited and tired, we loved and disliked. We lived...and we lived loud. So thank you for the opportunity. On to 2012, may you bring me and my family much happiness. May we serve and love others. May we remember what is very most important.
She is gentle (mostly, ummm don't mess with her new itouch), she is fun, she is great to shop with (especially if you're buying her something), she loves to laugh and smile, she is a really good sister and a fantastic daughter. The best thing of all is that she loves Jesus and it shows.
Every time I heard this song this year I thought of her. I hope I get to spend Christmas with her (and all my kids)
every single year.
Dear My AlYsOn KaTe,
Thank you for coming home and not being married and spending Christmas with your in-laws. :) Thanks for being such an amazing sister. All of your brothers and your sister completely love you. You are a good example to them and I am thankful for that. You are a very special person. I want you to never ever settle for anyone ever treating you like you aren't. I love you much.
That looks like fun. I wanna be in a flash mob! To the brother that started it...you musta been really nervous... I'm sure I would've been pittin out also. But you did good. I certainly enjoyed watching. Thanks.
I'm not sure how all ya'll are getting along, but these last few days have totally wiped me out! I can't believe just how tired I am. We have some very lovely guests staying with us and I have enjoyed them so much that I don't want to sleep. I want to talk and laugh with them. But tonight I think I might just collapse.
Seriously collapse.
But Before I do I want to share this with you.
Oh and let me introduce you to our visitors.
Brandon and Kayla
My nephew and his very lovely wife.
He is one lucky man. That Brandon sure is.
Dear Brandon and Kayla,
You guys are just a lot of fun. And plus you two are very cute. Thanks for taking time to spend with me and my family. We sure have enjoyed your company. Always laugh. Together. Oh and sing. Loud.
