There are few things that can bring you back to a moment the way that your senses do. To me, pictures, music and aromas do this best. As you know, pictures are most important to us and irreplaceable. Another important one is sound. As I was editing today, iTunes was randomly going through a playlist. It came to this song:

from the album Live Songs and Stories

SHOW THE WAY

You say you see no hope, you say you see no reason

We should dream that the world would ever change

You’re saying love is foolish to believe

‘Cause there’ll always be some crazy with an Army or a Knife

To wake you from your day dream, put the fear back in your life…

Look, if someone wrote a play just to glorify

What’s stronger than hate, would they not arrange the stage

To look as if the hero came too late he’s almost in defeat

It’s looking like the Evil side will win, so on the Edge

Of every seat, from the moment that the whole thing begins

It is…

Chorus:

Love who makes the mortar

And it’s love who stacked these stones

And it’s love who made the stage here

Although it looks like we’re alone

In this scene set in shadows

Like the night is here to stay

There is evil cast around us

But it’s love that wrote the play…

For in this darkness love can show the way

So now the stage is set. Feel you own heart beating

In your chest. This life’s not over yet.

so we get up on our feet and do our best. We play against the

Fear. We play against the reasons not to try

We’re playing for the tears burning in the happy angel’s eyes

This is the song that was our first dance. It’s by David Wilcox. Chris and I spent most of our time dating listening to David’s music. It brings back such memories. We love this song, because it shows how crazy this world is. That we can focus on that or focus on what the foundation is made from. All this while feeling totally wrapped and protected by love. That love is what binds us and shows the way through this world. Be sure to check out his site. Enjoy this song and relive one of our favorite moments with us.

Katie and I went out today and gave blood at our local Red Cross blood donation center in Atlanta. We feel that this is an important cause that impacts and helps thousands every year. When I realized it is going to be September 11 tommorrow, I was taken back 6 years ago. Just after that tragic day I decided I wanted to help in any way I could. So I went to an emergency donation center in Marietta. I was in line at a reformed medical tech school and met a lot of people there with vibrant personalities. They were all there for a common cause, to do thier part in the wake of an atrocious tragedy. Today the need of the Red Cross has not changed. They are still in need of plenty of blood and platelets. So in honor of 9/11, we encourage you to go out there and give.

-Chris & Katie

    I have passed out serveral time giving blood and let me tell you it is not fun.

    : ) No kidding! I was a mess! I was closer to fainting BEFORE I gave blood than when I actually did. I used to give a lot, and had trouble with not handling it well. Luckily, this time it was flawless. I never felt bad at all ONCE the needle was in. : )

    Poor Stick passed out from just looking at this post – LOL!!

    So great of you guys! We are so inspired by both of you in so many awesome ways.

    See you soon=)

Caroline, my niece, turned five years old on Wednesday! Yesterday was her party with family and a few friends. There was a BIG surprise to the little girl that is enthralled with horses. A horse actually came to the party and they were able to take rides around the yard. You are such a sweet little girl and Uncle Chris and I love you very much.

love, Auntie and Uncle Chris

I love this adorable picture of Doster’s look at his big sister’s birthday dream come true!

A little picture of them playing hide and seek. Too cute!

    Love them, of course! These are my favorites from the whole day, I just love how they captured their bond and sweet glee in the day!
    Thanks for being the birthday photographer. I am such a lucky one to get “family snapshots” done by a REAL photographer! 🙂
