we gonna take a boat to the end of the world...

A few minutes ago, Francis excitedly showed me this video of one of our favorite bands, Dave Matthews Band. The song is titled "You and Me".



Aside from the vid, my husband also made me read the lyrics, found
here.

On an ordinary day, what my husband did may seem mundane. On an ordinary week, the song may not even mean anything special to me. But during this time of despondency (on my part) enough to drive the sanity out of me, that song, that simple act from my husband, meant a lot. Not only because I badly need to unwind far away from the city (the lyrics apparently speak of traveling--physically and romantically), but also because I just need some time to escape so I can think clearly. Thinking and analyzing things have been my preoccupation as of late; and I tell you, such preoccupation drives me insane.

Anyway, after listening to the song and reading the lyrics, I now declare this to be our official travel song. We may not travel as often as we want to as many places we desire (though we're working on setting a reasonable "travel frequency"), but I'm sure that in any journey, we'll always be together, with the Lord walking with us.

And to my husband: I cannot thank you enough for the many, many times you've picked me up. Yep, "You and me together, we could do anything."
