Our Lullaby

This song perfectly puts into words the way i feel about my daughter.
It has become our lullaby.




I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing- Aerosmith

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing

I Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you [Rae]
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing

My Bucket List

Lately I’ve felt the need to be inspired…I’ve gotten caught up in a routine and let my dreams and ambitions become wishful thinking instead of reachable and attainable goals. I know it’s up to me to choose what I want in life. And I can choose to live a spontaneous, adventurous, fulfilling life or let life just pass me by. So I decided to re write my bucket list…and this time, view them as goals, not just dreams.

The Quiet Moments

My favorite time of the day is when I wake up to the sound of Rae babbling in her crib. It always occurs between 4-5am and instantly i spring up to get her. I bring her into my bed and we lay there cuddling, holding hands and talking. Those are the times i tell her whats on my mind, try to teach her things i've learned, and sing her songs that have made an impact in my life. After about 45 minutes she gets sleepy again and i lay her back down until she wakes back up for the day. Those 45 minutes are the quiet moments i love. While everyone is in bed sleeping, me and Rae are quietly bonding, singing and giggling.
