Beautiful Surprise

My biggest concern about taking this sabbatical was how spending 3 months away from Dana would affect our marriage. But I have to say, it's been better than I could have ever imagined. We're able to talk almost everyday, and instead of feeling far apart, I feel like I did when we were dating! I get so excited to hear his voice. It's pretty awesome - and I give all the credit to God.

So in honor of my amazing husband, I wanted to post a "long-distance dedication" to him. This was sort of our theme song when we were dating in business school because I thought it captured my feelings so perfectly at the time. I love India Arie's music - this song is called "Beautiful Surprise".

It's like yesterday
I didn't even know your name
Now today
You're always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You are beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You've got me on a natural high
It's almost like I didn't even have a choice
You are a beautiful surprise

Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we are written in the stars
I don't know what the future holds
But I'm living in the moment
And I'm thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You are a beautiful surprise
You are an inspiration to my life
You are the reason why I smile
You are a beautiful surprise
