Some cheese with my whine

I feel like I whine a lot about Eric traveling. If I'm not whining out loud, rest assured I'm whining in my heart. I really don't like not having him by my side all the time, in case you hadn't figured that out yet. 50% of the time is NOT enough for me to live with my spouse.

Anyway, we've been at this for a while now so I should be getting used to it, and I guess I sorta am. Some weeks are better or easier than others. Then some weeks I just sink into being really sad about it and turn unproductive and my heart whines louder.

So now I will indulge in a little cheese with my whine. :) The other day "our song" came on the radio and it made me really nostalgic. I started thinking about songs and I realized that Eric and I have had several different "our songs" throughout our relationship.

#1: Happy Together by The Turtles
This was our first song. When we first started dating back when we were little kids (hehe) we were amazed at how we truly just felt HAPPY like nothing else had ever made us feel. It was that true joyful feeling that first let me know that Eric is my soulmate.

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)


#2: Bubbly by Colbie Caillat 
I think this turned into our song when we were engaged. We danced to it at our wedding. It just seemed to match the giddy feeling we always had around each other. Basically the same as the feeling with Happy Together, no one made me smile like Eric can.


I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglees in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm

It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
'Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go


#3: Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
This turned into our song basically the second it came out, about a year after we got married. Again, it totally described how we felt. I feel so lucky to be in love and married to my best friend! The person I would rather spend time with than anyone else on the planet.


Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

#4: Faithfully by Journey
I feel kind of silly that this is our song right now. It seems so different than the other ones... Eric is on a HUGE Journey kick these days (and why shouldn't he be, they are awesome) and he told me that every time he hears this song it makes him think of me. Then I confessed that once I heard this song over the summer and it made me cry like a baby. Anyway, I guess that turned it into our song right now. 


Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road
ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
ain't always what it's supposed to be

Girl
you stand by me
I'm forever yours
faithfully
Circus life under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us laugh
Through space and time
Always another show
Wodering where I am lost without you
And being a part ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you

Oh girl
you stand by me
I'm forever yours
faithfully
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
faithfully 


Ok can you handle anymore cheese? I know, I know, I've been really sappy lately. I'll blame it on pregnancy hormones. I blame as much as I can on those things. Why not, eh?


I didn't want to forget the songs that have been special to us and I know the older we get the more we will forget about these things. So that's that. I love my sweetie.
