Te Amaré
So i didn't tell you but earlier today when i was thinking of weddings i thought of htis song and thought, hey, what if Alejandro Bassi was our musician? Just a thought. Lol. Don't answer that. Here is the most beautiful song ever. I'll try to crudely translate for you on the side (but it sounds mmuuuuch better in spanish)
Te Amaré:
Con la paz de las montañas, te amaré/ With the peace of the Mountains i will love you
Con locura y equilibrio, te amaré / With insanity and grounding I will love you
Con la rabia de mis años / With the fierceness of my years
Como me enseñaste a hacer / Like you taught me to do
Con un grito en carne viva, te amaré / With a loud raw yell i will love you
En silencio y en secreto, te amaré / In silence and in secret, I will love you
Arriesgando en lo prohibido, te amare/ Daring what is forbidden, I will love you
En lo falso y en lo cierto / In the lies and the truth
Con el corazón abierto / With an open heart
Por ser algo no perfecto, te amaré /By being something imperfect, I will love you
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you, I will love you
Como no está permitido /Like it is not allowed
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you I will love you
Como nunca se ha sabido / Like no one has ever known
Por que así lo he decidido... te amaré /Because I have decided to do so, I will love you
Por ponerte algún ejemplo, te diré /To give you an example, I will say
Que aunque tengas manos frías, te amaré/ That although you have cold hands, I will love you
Con tu mala ortografía y tu no saber perder/ With your bad spelling, and though you don't know how to lose
Con defectos y manías... te amaré / With defects and odd habits i will love you
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you i will love you
Por que fuiste algo importante /Because you were something important
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you I will love you
Cuando ya no estés presente /When you are no longer present
Seguirás siendo costumbre /You will continue as always
Y te amaré / And I will love you
Al caer de cada noche esperaré / When every night falls I will hope
A que seas luna llena y te amaré / That you will be the full moon and I will love you
Y aunque queden pocos restos / And although little remains are left
En señal de lo que fue / In a sign of what used to be
Seguirás cerca y muy dentro / You will continue near and inside
Te amaré / I will love you
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you, I will love you
A golpe de recuerdo / A hit of the past
Te amaré, te amaré / I will love you I will love you
Hasta el último momento /Until the last moment
A pesar de todo siempre... /Despite everything always
Te amaré. /I will love you
I dedicate that to you baby! i translated it all by myself! Aren't you proud. i'm sure its not perfect, but you get the idea. Love you!

Obama, McCain, sharing a stage with Rick Warren!
(CNN) -- Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain in August will be on the same stage for the first time in the 2008 presidential campaign.
The Rev. Rick Warren says he makes no endorsements because he shepherds "both sides of the flock."
The Rev. Rick Warren has invited them to appear at a leadership and compassion forum in his Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, on August 16. Warren, the author of the best-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life" spoke with CNN's Wolf Blitzer by phone Tuesday from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
BLITZER: Pastor Warren, how did you do it? How did you convince both of them to show up?
PASTOR RICK WARREN, SADDLEBACK CHURCH: Well, Wolf, they've both been friends for a long time. I knew both John and Barack before either of them decided to run for office, had talked with them. Both of them have helped me in the past with our peace plan and with -- they've sent messages to Saddleback at some of our conferences.
And so I just thought let's -- you know, I might be the guy to get them together. So, I called them up and said, let's do it. And they said, well, we'll do it if you be the only questioner, if you don't have a forum, don't have a panel. And if you'll ask all the questions, then we'll do it.
BLITZER: But they're not going to be together. They're going to be separate. These are going to be Pastor Warren and Barack Obama, followed by Pastor Warren and John McCain. But there's not going to be any interchange between the two of them, is that right?
WARREN: Yes. I'm going to -- my plan is to bring them out on stage together at the beginning or at the end. But what I want to do is I want to let each of them talk without interrupting each other. And it's not a debate format.
Don't Miss
There will be plenty of time for debates. What I want to do is get people to know the real person like I know them without a time barrier and a buzzer and a time for rebuttal. Let them just speak what they need to say.
BLITZER: The last time we spoke was right after you invited Barack Obama when he was still running for the Democratic presidential nomination. You got some criticism from a few fellow evangelicals out there. You called him in the interview with me an amazing, an amazing man, Barack Obama. Could you see yourself supporting him for president?
WARREN: Well, I don't support anybody for president publicly. I never endorse. I never campaign.
You know, as a pastor, I don't really think that's my role. I have to shepherd both sides of the flock. And I have a church full of Democrats and a church full of Republicans and a church full of independents.
So, I think they're both amazing men. I've known them for a long time. They're both very, very different.
They have both different theories of government, different theories of leadership, different approaches to life. And I -- what I do is I think, because I know them, I think I can set up an environment that people can actually say, oh, so that's what that guy's really like. And I think I can do that for both John and for Barack.

Different views of hotel
Different views of parliment (i really like these photos and I'll put more later)
First Poem
the lakes He carved
the hills He formed
the glaciers behind
hold secrets untold
at peace with Him
she's reconciled
curious, mesmerized
quiet waters, she's led to
she sits at rest
captivating, ravishing
a gentle heart
a supportive spirit
in His image
she was created
Beauty divine
for His image she bears
hills that roll
like fawns among lillies
bring rest to he
who rests on them
a heart that worships
he longs to wrestle
to love and to cherish
'til death do them part
heavenward, we seek
we find, we love
we share to discover
the love of God
Want to have a Davy and Van experience?
Want to learn to sail and travel around the world on a boat. I never thought it was possible. but it might be, if you are just that crazy enough
Well we can...though a manufactured one...but it will be a christian experience. Blow this up and read it!
