As I begin a new blogging venture I want to give you all the story behind 'Love Like Crazy'.
If you're a country music fan, you're thinking, 'Hmm....haven't I heard that on the radio?!'
Yes, you have!
I'm the kind of girl who is impressed by music. There's no getting around it, a good tune will set my mood for the day; it's no wonder I'm so picky about what I listen to. 'Love Like Crazy' fit into my playlist so nicely and described our lives so perfectly that I just couldn't stop myself from smiling after I heard it. I had to share it and the motivation it gave me to take some loving action in my own life.
(If you're interested, the full lyrics are located at the bottom of this post for you to check out.)
Now that you have my inspiration floating around in your mind, let me tell you a little about myself:
I have the best husband in the entire world. He calls me Sweetiepea. :) I know everyone says that, but those of you who know Mr. LLC will agree that he's just a high-quality human being. He's that kind of game-on guy that every woman looks for but so few of us ever find. He works long hours but manages to find time to spend with our family; then does it with a great attitude. I'm a blessed lady, for sure.
I have twin babies. Well, not babies by normal standards, but those mamas out there know exactly what I'm talking about. At the ripe old age of six, The Ladies are just the joy of my whole life. We have our rough days, but overall I am amazed at what God has given me to raise and care for. They enjoy being outdoors, making crafts, playing with Daddy, going to Grammie's house and running. They love veggies and water- something I can't believe! Miss B is a lover of all things chocolate. She loves to sing and dance but is shy about being in front of people. Miss G is a firecracker. There's no other word for her- but we wouldn't have her any other way.
Our family has two dogs. We jokingly tell people that we run a home for disabled canines, because both have some serious issues. We don't mind so much- they have great character and are a source of entertainment and love for us all. Jake is 13 and has severe hip dysplasia. He impresses us every day by keepin' on keepin' on. He greets us with his doggie smile no matter how much he hurts. It inspires me to complain less and greet others with the same happy energy. Bay is 8 and is almost completely deaf. She also has collapsed sinuses, so when she's excited to see you, you get this great doggie grin and snarfing noise. She's excited about EVERYTHING in life, which inspires me as well.
That just leaves me. I'm a lot of things to a lot of people: wife, mama, friend, advocate, volunteer. I work two unpaid jobs; one at The Ladies' school and another as a Family Wellness Advocate. You'll hear a lot about family programs from me. I hope you find it to be helpful! I enjoy cooking and decorating. Truthfully, I think I may have been born a few decades too late. All things Suzie Homemaker appeal to me. Most of all: I love like crazy.
The purpose behind my blog is to share with you some of the military family ideas and resources we use in our lives, hoping they'll be a joy in yours as well. I look forward to making new friends and helping old ones.
May you all have a blessed week! Let's go out and love like crazy!
Andi

'Love Like Crazy' - Lee Brice
They called them crazy when they started out
Said seventeen's too young to know what love's about
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That’s crazy
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
Bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Yea that’s crazy
Just ask him how he did it; he'll say pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I Love You
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy they'll never take off
He sold his one man shop to Microsoft
And they paid like crazy
Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman,
Who never let him forget
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I Love You
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get to old to call her baby
Never let your prayin knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called them crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now
Aint that crazy?
