Don't blink...

I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is ."

Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed> And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, one hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't Blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

Don't Blink
just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and ya'
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't Blink
just might miss your babies growin' like mine did
Turning into moms and dads; next thing you know your better half
of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
So Don't Blink

No, don't blink

don't blink
life goes faster than you think
so don't blink
don't blink
life goes farther then you think
don't blink
life goes faster then you think - Kenny Chesney


As I am coming upon my 10 year reunion I am utterly amazed at all of the places God has brought me in the last 10 years. I came from Buffalo to Lynchburg, Lynchburg to DC, DC to the OC, OC to Cayman Islands, Cayman to San Diego...
God has been so good and so faithful. He has brought me an amazing man of God who swept me off of my feet in his army greens ;-) He has put people in my life that are like a second family to me...
I am so thankful for all that he has done. It is crazy how fast time flies by....
I am anxious to get home and hug my families necks!! ;-)

Labor Day Weekend :-)




We had a fantastic labor day weekend with our friend's Janice and Dave who came to San Diego to hang out with us for a few days. We spent time riding bikes on Coronado Island, going to the zoo, visiting various beaches and eating some delicious food.. It was also about one month since Dave and Janice's wedding in PA (which we were unable to make). :-) Thanks for stopping by ;-)
