Everlong

If some of you are wondering about the title of my blog, it's pretty simple...
Everlong is one of my favorite songs by my favorite band, Foo Fighters.

They became my favorite band not too long ago. My husband introduced me to their music (as he did with many, MANY other bands) when we first started dating and I did NOT like it at all (I didn't like most of the music he introduced to me). Then the more I listened to it, the more I liked it until I was asking for their newest CD for Christmas. Ryan felt pretty triumphant by that point. His attitude was pretty much "I told you so" without ever saying the actual words.

Everlong doesn't really have any specific meaning to me. It's just Foo Fighters music in general. All of Foo Fighters' music reminds me of my husband and our relationship from the beginning to now.
-It reminds me of us when we first started dating when he made me listen to them and I was too polite to make him turn it off. haha
-It reminds me of when Ryan surprised me by coming home for 4th of July while he was training in SOI. He brought his new Foo Fighters CD home with him and that was all that was on in the car while he was home.
-It reminds me of Ry's first deployment because I considered the song My Hero my deployment anthem. To this day, My Hero is the ringtone on my phone for when Ryan calls.
-It reminds me of the drive from CA to OH for Christmas leave after Ry got back from his first deployment. I listened to Echos, Silence, Patience, & Grace (and learned pretty much the whole album) on that road trip.
-It reminds me of when I was pregnant and if I wanted to feel Chase move, all I had to do was turn on a Foo Fighters song and he would start "dancing" in my belly.

As I'm typing this I'm thinking that I chose the perfect title for my blog. It means quite a bit more than I ever realized before.

I guess blogging is turning out to be a good idea for me :)
