Ginny and Derek are married!
Marissa and Ginny were close friends throughout middle and high school. They used to write notes to each other in class, but it wasn’t your standard note, it was “singing notes.” They would join the lyrics from various songs to write a short letter that was more just for humor than to communicate any sort of message. In honor of that special memory, Marissa wanted to write a special “singing blog” for Ginny. So without further ado, we present our first “singing blog:”

All around the world
This one’s for the girls”

Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break

Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!

Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here”

You’ve got a friend in me

You’ve got a friend in me”
-Randy Newman, You’ve Got A Friend In Me

Falling on a tin roof
While I’m safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me”
