And at the beginning of the 2nd chorus, she sings along for a note.

“Where you will go I will go. Where you lodge, I lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God, my God”. I clasped my new husband Varun’s hands tightly, not knowing where our journey together would lead, but certain I wanted to go with him. As we jetted off to our honeymoon, we brought two suitcases filled with all we would need for wedded bliss: sunscreen, lingerie, a few books, love, and anticipation for the future.- What 75 years of Marriage looks like [Video]
Meet Ray and Irma Ziff, who have been married for 75 years. What is their secret to staying married for so long? “Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight it out.”
Watch this great interview that Ray and Irma did with Yakov Smirnoff (they also did a similar interview with Jay Leno). It gives me great hope and inspiration to see a couple married for so long and still in love with each other.

Happy Nappy Diaper Service, Review After 7 MonthsIt’s been 7 months since we started using Happy Nappy Cloth Diaper Service and I thought it would be a good time to write another review. I did an initial review of the pre-birth starter package, and another review two months in. But I’ve had some people ask me more recently if we’re still happy with their service. In summary, we are. [Update: As of Feb 2013, in the Vancouver Lower Mainland, this diaper service company is now called Happy Baby Cheeks. There is no more Happy Nappy in Vancouver. Most of the below still applies but there have been some changes. Read their review here.]
