music is so important!

As always, when I turn to my Christian music on my iPod I can help but be swept away by Enter the Worship Circle lyrics. Everytime I listen to them they bring this humility and brokenness to my heart. Its like open the arch of the covenant and letting the Holy Spirit wash over me. If you've never heard of them download the First through Third Circle. I yeild to the Holy Spirit when I hear it. Its weird really since I've been listening to them since Heidi introduced them to me in high school. On my wedding day I made a playlist containing two of their songs. And listening to them in the background when I was saying my vows made me feel so alive!! I just wanted to say that its so important to listen to the right music. I think that the language of our souls is through music. I find that when I listen to the right music it reflects in my mood and my actions...and vice versa when I listen to bad music. I tail people when I drive...bad words come out. But when the music is both lyrically and mysically beautiful I'm transformed. Here's the lyrics from one of my favorite songs:

"I Will Bow" by Enter the Worship Circle
"Two Things Have I Heard, From The Word That You Have Spoken

that You Oh God Are Strong, And You Oh God Are Loving

I Will Not Be Shaken

I Will Bow, I Will Bow

lift My Eyes Up From The Ashes

with My Knees On The Ground...I Will Bow

One Thing Will I Seek, It's You And You Alone
i Don't Have To Fear, I Know You Are Here
i Will Not Be Moved

i Am Pouring Out My Heart To You Oh God

i Am Weak, You Are Strong

i Am Putting All My Hope In You Oh God

in You And To You And For You Alone"

1. I like my name, Katy or Kathryn and I get super pissed when people misspell it. It makes me feel set apart from all the other "Katie's" who, to me, are common...Don't hate me fellow Katies...
2. I like beer, really any beer. Rolling Rock is my favorite.
3. I shamelessly watch dumb reality shows on VH1 like "I Love New York" or "Rock of Love"...and shamelessly deny watching them.
4. In the same breath, I get angry when people say shows like "I Love New York" are trashy while they watch "The Bachelor"...at least they don't marry the guy! That's even worse!
5. I totally destroy my hair...whether with hair gel, high lights, straightening...I don't care. Its my hair and it should do what I want.

Doggies!

So if you haven't heard David and I are getting two puppies in about two weeks! One is an American Pit Bull Terrier we named Roman. His mother was pregnant at a shelter and rescued by a kind lady. So we will be adopting Roman soon, he stays with his momma till he's 8 weeks old. (Oh and this has been David's dream dog) And then my dream dog- Ever since I was little and watched Disney's "Fox and the Hound" I too wanted to own a baby fox. So David and I decided to buy a Pembroke Welsh Corgi from a local breeder. The lady owns and shows horses and happens to be passionate about Corgi's as well. So we contacted her and she had a new litter, at the same age as Roman! So we picked out a little girl and have named her Lilly or Lil Fox. :)

We are getting both around Valentines Day weekend!!!!!!! I know its crazy but I wanted the puppies to grow up together and be friends, though it'll be insane for a couple of weeks with two 8 week old puppies....The pictures below are mostly of Roman because we can see him every couple of weeks because her owner lives close to us. Lily is in a town about three hours away from us so we haven't got to see her yet. So the pictures we have of her are from her breeder. She is the one on the far right on all the pictures below with a wide white stripe between her eyes. OH and we just got to see Roman a couple of days ago!!
