"Love Lives On" by Mallary Hope

"And even though I cry like crazy

Even though it hurts so bad

I'm thankful for the time God gave me

Even though we couldn't make it last.

I'm learning how to live without you

Even though I don't want to

And even with you gone, love lives on" ♪

There's something about country music that tugs at the heartstrings. (Mine, especially). Love Lives On was one of iTunes' free song of the week about 2 years ago. This song puts me in the mindset of Martina Mcbride's musical style, including all the sentiments and story telling of a true country song. I also liked this song because it speaks about what many people face each day... The loss of a spouse or loved one.

It's a beautiful song. Take a listen. ツ

Paddle! Paddle!

So, beau and I went kayaking this weekend. Initially, I was elated to try something so  adventurous. Then, about 2 or 3 days before the trip, I decided to watch a youtube video on kayaking for beginners. That first video was okay. Then I watched another one.... That was not okay. I was honestly terrified of going kayaking after that video even though it was was a simple tutorial on how to get into a kayak. I honestly freaked out until just a few moments before they handed me a life jacket. We got into our seats of the two person kayak, one of the workers pushed us off, and we were on our way!

It was a beautiful Saturday. Not very hot, definitely not humid, and there was the right mixture of sun and clouds.

Beau and I had a great time out on the waters. Since we haven't really spoken much that week, we caught up on our talk-time... (although, sometimes, I felt like I was talking to the wind and the waves, and he was just talking to my back). ツ
