"Are those mountains or clouds?" "Mountains" "Oh...they're in the way of the sky." Madre and Me [My Birthday!]

Well, as you may have gathered if you read the title, TODAY IS MY 21st BIRTHDAY! Crazy, right? But I love birthdays because they make you feel extra loved. Seriously. Kelsey Moss (who is FABULOUS) even mentioned me in her Valentines post today! Isn't she just the best?? AND I had two separate groups of people sing to me in the makeup room today, and my lovely roommates even baked me a cake! I was totally surprised :) Since I'm not home a bunch I forget just how lovely they all are. PLUS my mommy is here with me until Saturday! Which, turned out to be a huge blessing because I've been super crazy swamped all week and having her here has been the biggest comfort. Moms are so good for that. All in all, it was a fantastic day. And I can't believe I'm 21 years old. Oh goodness.

Today's song has long been a favorite of mine. I grew up with The Beatles. I know a lot of people have mixed feelings (some love them, some don't particularly care for then) but for me, they mean family and memories. You may not have ever really thought of this song as your typical love song, but I hope that one day, I can have a lovely relationship like Desmond and Molly. Simple, and full of love. Enjoy.

#3 Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da

The Beatles

Desmond has his barrow in the market place...
Molly is the singer in a band...
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...
Buys a twenty carat golden ring...
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after in the market place...
Desmond lets the children lend a hand...
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face...
And in the evening she still sings it with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.
