Plain White T's <3

I heard this song on the radio and I liked the tune. It is by Plain White T's and I like their song Hey There Delilah. So.... here are the lyrics and the music video to Hey there Delilah:

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

and here are the lyrics and music video of 1, 2, 3, 4:

1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I’ve ever had
Make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
Tell me I’m special even though I know I’m not

Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4

There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you

Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends

Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4

There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you

It is a cute song:)

~Enjoy~

Summer in America '09

Our time in the States has been great so far. We have gotten to:

1. Connect with friends that are leaving
2. Connect with old friends that we haven't seen in a while
3. See Auntie Sue and meet my cousin, Lucas, who i have never met before:)
   
4. Be in the car traveling for long periods of time
5. Go swimming in the lake
6. Stop at some really really nice rest stops. (one even had a lake where hannah, andrew and my dad went swimming)
   
7. Go to Monticello
8. Eat at Taco Bell, Wendy's, IHOP, Olive Garden, Chipolte, Riverside, Papa John's
   
9. I went to Williamsburg
   
10. Visited my first college, JMU
11. Visit VirginiaTech, Radford and Eastern Mennonite University
12. Go swimming in a real pool
    
13. (This list will continue through the summer)

On our way down to Virginia, we stayed with a family that we have known for a very long time. They have adopted 3 children from Korea. While we were there Clara (picture above) became attached to me:) Their youngest daughter, Yoo-Rin, who is a little over a year, is so adorable. I didn't get a picture of her because my camera ran out of batteries:(

We got to meet the Barbusca family for breakfast at this awesome little breakfast shop called Panera. For those of you that don't know, i was the their babysitter for a little over a year. They lived in Romania and worked and taught at my school but now they are moving to Morocco. It was very sad but also really nice to see them.

As you can see, we got VERY bored in the car.................treatment for bored kids on a long car trip: take pictures and make silly faces:) really makes the time go by faster.




While we were in North Carolina, we stayed with a couple, Janet and Gary, that my parents have known since they were in college. Their oldest daughter is 12 years old and so my sister and her had a great time together. They also have two younger sons who are twins and are 9 years old. So you can imagine how much fun my brother had with them:)

On our way from North Carolina back up to Virginia, we stopped at a really nice rest stop. We ate lunch there and then after lunch we went swimming in the lake.

One of the things that my grandmother wanted to do while we were here was go to Monticello, the house of President Thomas Jefferson. His house was absolutely amazing. He did not want to waste any time or space so he invented things in his house to make serving meals and just plain living more efficient. We took a tour of the house and then looked around outside where his slaves would have been working. We also got to see where he was buried.

Enjoy!
