Home Sweet (song) Home

Just a quick post/quick update.  Today, we did a lot of Christmas shopping AND bought our Christmas tree decorations.  We also tried to buy a Christmas tree stand, but thus far have been unsuccessful.  (Only Walmart was open by the time we finished with other shopping, and would you believe that they didn't have a single Christmas tree stand in the whole store!?)

Anyway, we walked in the door, and Justin started singing "Our house..."  He asked if I knew the song, and I started singing "...in the middle of the street...." as in the 80s pop tune.  You know, the one with (partial) lyrics as follows:

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our....
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud

Nice catchy tune, but not the song Justin had in mind.  He was singing the far more sentimental Crosby, Stills, and Nash song with the following lyrics:

I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.....

Our house is a very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And Our


I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today



We might not have a finished upstairs, or any upper kitchen cabinets, or a washer and a dryer, but we've got eachother and our home - and we're both very much in love on both accounts.  The kitchen doesn't have to be pretty for slow dances to our new theme song.
