All Because Two People Fell in Love...

If you are a frequent visitor of our blog you've probably noticed that the title has changed from "Tales of a Thompson" to "All Because Two People Fell in Love...". I wanted to explain my reasoning behind this so that you might understand my thought process. There is a song by Brad Paisley (Dustin's favorite country singer) entitled, "Because two People Fell in Love". The lyrics to the song are as follows...

A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon
'Fore you know it he's off to school and then he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things
Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives
The world's a better place for all he's done
It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive
It's all because two people fell in love

Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek
You'll find potato salad hot dogs and baked beans
The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' their paper plates
They've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states
Well Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew
That Miss Emma Tucker was the one
Now five generations get together every June
All because two people fell in love

[1st Chorus]
There ain't nothin' not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
Every single choice we make
Every breath we get to take
Is all because two people fell in love

Well, I recall a young man who was driftin' aimlessly
And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be
But in a little cafe right off of fourteenth avenue
With a whole lotta help from up above
We met and things sure turned around for me and you
And all because two people fell in love

[2nd Chorus]
Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
I'm glad your dad could not resist
Your mama's charms and you exist
All because two people fell in love

[Tag]
You know, to me it's all so clear
Every one of us is here
All because two people fell in love

A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon

I know what you're thinking..."Wow! That's really country!" and you are definitely right, however the premise behind the song really touches my heart. It is all because two people fell in love that we are all here. I chose to entitle our blog this because I fell in love with Dustin about three years ago and God and put our lives into overdrive ever since. Getting married, buying a house, and now having our beautiful baby girl added to our lives all happened through the Lord bringing us together and allowing these two people to fall in love, and how thankful we are!
Let me know how you feel about this new title, I hope that you like it!
