We go together, like rama lama lama...

The day went by in a blur...water proof mascara, hair curlers, nail polish, a white dress, photographs, a few winks from the ushers (my soon-to-be-husbands best friends), and a whole bunch of tummy flutters. I held my dads arm in anticipation right before the doors opened. And I walked down that aisle with a smile a mile wide...I truly felt as if the people in that church building had never been happier for anyone. Because I was the lucky one! I had found a man far better than I thought I deserved. Chad Eason. My husband. My protector. My best friend.

Nancy Chandler sang along with the rest of Joyful Noise, Dennis Eason prayed over us, and Jim Woodell presented us to the audience while the choir sang "...come in to his presence singing Alleluia...". It was perfect. We walked down the aisle and might as well have floated off in to the sky in a cherry red convertible like Sandy and Danny in Grease...everyone waved goodbye as my heart soared high to the sky. :-) It was a day I will forever hold in my heart.

Well, the story didn't end that day. :-) 10 years of life happenings have gone by...wow! Chad has been an incredible testament to the power of the fruits of the spirit. He's made me laugh and feel joy when I was ready to spit nails...he's spoken words of peace over me in times of very real anxiousness and emotional pain. He's been forgiving and patient, kind and good. He's taught me that men can be faithful. Chad has been a tangible life long lesson in how much God loves me. And I like to think that God thought Chad needed me too. ;-)

Happy 10th Anniversary to my breakfast makin', football coachin', joke tellin', mess makin' ;-p, totally awesome husband - I love you!

We go together like
rama lama lama
ke ding a de dinga a dong
remembered for ever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom


Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
That's the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!

[All]
We're one of a kind
Like dip di-dip di-dip
Doo-bop a doo-bee doo
Our names are signed
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
boog-e-dy
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop

We'll always be like one
Wa-wa-wa-waaa!

When we go out at night
And stars are shinin' bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be lo-oh oh oh-oh oh-ove

Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding a da ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-ed-y
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-y boom de boom
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding-a de ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-ty boom de boom


A wop ba-ba lu-mop


A wop bam boom

We're for each other like
A wop ba-ba lu-mop and wop bam boom
Just like my brother is
Sha na na na na na yip-pit-y dip de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
We'll always be together
Wha oooh yeah!
We'll always, be together
We'll always be together
We'll always be together [End here or fade out]
A wop ba-ba lu-mop a wop bam boom!
