Thursday Thirteen....

Thirteen Songs that Move Me & Why:

1. Wind Beneath My Wings-Bette Midler: This song reminds me of my Memaw who passed away several years ago. She meant the world to me and I miss her very much.

2. In My Daughter's Eyes-Martina McBride: This song is dedicated to my daughter.

3. Beautiful Boy-John Lennon: This song is dedicated to my son.

4. I Believe In You-Don Williams: This song reminds me of driving around with my PaPa and singing in the car with him. It was one of the best times.

5. I Do, Cherish You-Mark Wills: This song is dedicated to my hubby. I sang this to him at our wedding.

6. Raining on the Inside-Amy Grant: I used to sing this in church. I absolutely love this song and it has a beautiful message.

7. Easy-The Commodores: Just love the song

8. More Than Words-Steven Curtis Chapman: Powerful song about prayer.

9. Blessed-Martina McBride: I truly feel blessed to have such amazing family and friends.

10. Ironic-Alanis Morrissette: My girlfriends and I would drive around listening to this song and singing at the top of our lungs.

11. Don't Stop Believin-Journey: This is dedicated to my girls. For all those times we hung out listening to this song.

12. Third Eye Blind: Anything by them but it reminds me of Ang and I at their concert.

13. She's My Ride Home-Blue October: This song reminds me of Ang, Kathy & I at Edgefest. I dedicate this to my shank sisters. :)

I guess you could say I've been a bad blogger. Things have been pretty busy around here which leaves little time for blogging. Here I am though to give an update.

Things are good here in the Bennett household. I'm working from home and enjoy it. I only work a few hours a day while A is sleeping. My hubby's schedule has been a little nuts but hopefully that will get better soon. Our kiddos are doing wonderful! Raegan got picked in the Top 8 for UIL and we should find out soon if she got picked for the Top 4 students to go to competition. She is doing wonderful with her reading and loves Beverly Cleary and Barbara Park. Avery is getting so big. He's growing into quite the little man. He loves music and loves to be read to. Click on The Bennett's Blessings to check out pics of my wonderful kiddos.

A friend of mine, Stacia that I used to work with at Baptist found me on MySpace about a week ago. It has been a long time and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. We had a lot of good times. I have thought about her often and looking forward to catching up. Love ya girly!

My brother and his wife are having a girl. Not sure if she will be a Caroline or Holly yet. I can't wait. It will be nice to have another little girl in the family to calm the boys, Evan and Avery.

I also heard from a friend today who I hadn't talked to in awhile. L your email made my day, I just wanted you to know that. Thanks. Love ya!

Please keep my mom in your prayers. She has a heart cath on the 6th of March.

That is all the news I have for now. I'll write later. Have a happy Wednesday!

I did a post awhile back about our daughter getting picked for UIL and having practice, well she got picked as one of the 8 students out of 21 to get a callback. She had her audition last Monday and did great! We should find out soon if she made the top 4 and will go to competition. We are so very proud of her and she will always be a winner to us! Congrats Rae! We love you!!
