What's YOUR song? (week 2)

Again this week I am going to be joining in on the 
fun over at Goodnight Moon
for the 1 song play list.

There have been so many songs bouncing around in 
my head this week but I think I am 
going to go with

The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert
(you will need to scroll down to the bottom to turn off my every day play list)


Get a playlist! Standalone player
Get Ringtones

Growing up I was a military brat so "home" was a loose word.
I moved about every 2-3 years from 
the time I can remember until I was 16.
The only house that has ever really been 
home to me has been my grandparents house.
There has just always been something about 
my grandparents house that has felt like
HOME.

Maybe it is these inviting trees...

Don't they just look they are giving you
a big hug or red bugs.



My grandmother's house from the road

Overlooking the lake in her backyard!

See all those pictures I take while I stay with you Maumau
are for moments like these.
Love you!

  2. Love the song and the story! I lived in the same house until I went to college at 18--got married to a Marine at 22 and haven't been anywhere longer than a little over 2 years since. My daughter told me yesterday that my parents' house is like "her other home." So this rings close to our family as well! :)

  5. Listening to your song choice, and reading about your grandparents house and seeing the pictures was such an awesome story! I'm a Marine Brat, so I know what you mean about their house feeling like you "home"...that is how I feel about my grandparents house too! I wonder if my kids will feel that way about my parents house?

    Thanks for linking up again this week! See you next week!
