I Was Featured!

My cousin, Stephanie, has a blog where every day she uses a song to describe how she feels. To spice up her blog a bit, she asked for guest bloggers. She gave me the privilege of being the first one! I thought I would post here what I posted there.

Ever Ever After  Carrie Underwood

Hey Lyric Lovers!

My name is Jessie and I am Stephanie’s Cousin/Sister.

Many of you may remember the post Stephanie did about her little “Charley” – well, here is a picture of him!

When Stephanie asked me a few days ago to do this post I started trying to think of a song that explains how I am feeling at this stage in my life. Obviously my life has been turned upside down recently with the addition of Aaron (Charley).  I used to teach Ballroom Dance but I feel that that is no longer my vocation – that I need to simply focus on my family. My husband is almost through with school and we will be moving to Oregon in April… my life seems kind of crazy right now!

And yet everything is so right!  I couldn’t be happier. I feel like right now, my life is complete.  Everything is falling in line for me. That’s why this song fits so well. I found my happily ever after – it isn’t an ending, but a beginning.

Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it to

Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away

Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you

Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart

Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after

No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through

To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after

(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)

Oh, for ever ever after
