violin


I started violin a few weeks ago, but only had my second lesson today! I learned a variation of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star... I'm kind of slow at playing it, but my teacher was very impressed by how fast I learned & she said I was a natural!

I don't know how often I/we will update this, I will probably end up forgetting about it, but who knows?

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

hmm... xanga?

So... this is Michael & Beth. Mostly Beth though, Michael doesn't have internet right now. He's in tech school for the air force. It's exciting.

Ughh... we are both 20. We met a year & a half ago pretty randomly at Wal-Mart in a pretty random state where neither of us were permanently living. Then we got engaged in central park 5 months after we first met and got married (in Nov 2007) a year and a month after our first wal-mart encounter. We went to Rome for our honeymoon. Michael went to AF basic training 2 months later & thats where we are now. Basically we love Jesus & He put us together for a reason.
