JULIANNE HOUGH is taking her relationship with TV personality RYAN SEACREST to the next level

Hough and Seacrest are reportedly moving in together.

The singing beauty sparked rumours of a romance with the American Idol host earlier this year (10), but Hough has continually refuted the reports, insisting their relationship is strictly professional.

However, their secret was out earlier this month (Jul10) when they were snapped arm-in-arm on a romantic getaway to Portofino, Italy.

Now American tabloid In Touch Weekly claims Hough is set to move into Seacrest’s home in Los Angeles’ Nichols Canyon.

Seacrest has lived alone in the mansion since purchasing it for $11.5 million (£7.7 million) from Kevin Costner in 2006.

Hough’s love life hit the headlines last year (09) after splitting from singer Chuck Wicks. (The Salt Lake Tribune & Yahoo)

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair.
I envied her, she seemed so gay,
And I wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch.
But as she passed, she gave a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it’d do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
“I thank you, you’ve been so kind.
It’s nice to talk with folks like you.
You see,” he said, “I’m blind.”

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He seemed not to know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
“Why don’t you join the others dear?”
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew he couldn’t hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I’d go.
With eyes to see the sunset’s glow.
With ears to hear what I’d know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I’ve been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

I wear no uniforms,
No blues or Army greens,
But I am in the Army ranks
Rarely seen.

I have no ranks upon my shoulders,
Salutes I do not give,
But my military world is the place
Where I live.

I am not in the chain of command,
Orders I do not get.
But my husband is the one who does;
This I cannot forget.

I am not the one who fires the weapon,
Who puts my life on the line,
But my job is just as tough;
I am the one who’s left behind.

My husband in the patriot,
A brave and prideful man,
And the call to serve his country
Not all can understand.

Behind the lines I see the things
Needed to keep this country free.
My husband makes the sacrifice,
But so do our kids and me.

I love the man I married,
Soldiering is his life,
But I stand among the ranks
Known as THE ARMY WIFE.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won’t worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second-guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies and I won’t stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald’s and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours and miss my favorite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children’s graves instead of their bedrooms, and   mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can’t handle it anymore.

And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.

We talked about this today during the 7:00 Hero Salute, but in case you missed it…be prepared to be inspired by this young man!

By Ravindra Kumar Karnani, Indian poet

The child whispered, “God, speak to me,”
And a meadowlark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, “God, speak to me!”
And the thunder rolled across the sky,
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
“God, let me see you,” and a star shone brightly,
But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,
“God, show me a miracle!”
And a life was born, but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
“Touch me, God, and let me know you are here!”
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.

The light turned yellow, just in front of him.  He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.  He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door.  The woman was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, ”I apologize for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’  bumper sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally…I assumed you had stolen the car.”

If you’ve ever been discouraged because of failure, remember this: far often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing.  Let me explain.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.  As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.  “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.  “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers said excitedly.  The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.  After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment of insects.  He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing visitors.  Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”

Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig.  And that is what a goal is for – to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen.  In other words, to set us digging!  But not every goal will be fully achieved.  Not every relationship will endure.  Not every hope will come to pass.  Not every love will last.  Not every endeavor will be completed.  Not every dream will be realized.  But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way!  Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”

A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told a friend. “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

Superstar Reba McEntire will release her new album on Nov. 9. The new record comes less than a year after the release of her latest Gold record, Keep on Loving You, and will be McEntire’s second release with The Valory Music Co.

The lead single, “Turn on the Radio,” earned Billboard’s Hot Shot Debut status a week before its official radio release. The song, a modern day kiss-off anthem produced by Dan Huff, will be available on iTunes on Aug. 3. McEntire loved the song so much it inspired her to head back into the studio.

“I fell for the song immediately,” said McEntire of her new single. “I love that it’s an up-tempo, strong woman song about a woman who has been done wrong by her lover and is telling him to turn on the radio if he wants to hear from her through their favorite song. Dann Huff and the musicians did a wonderful job bringing the heart beat out in the song. It definitely gets your attention from the very start of the song.”

McEntire’s last release, Keep on Loving You, was certified RIAA GOLD and produced a string of hits, including the Top 10 “Strange” and the history-making “Consider Me Gone,” which spent 4 weeks at the top of the charts.

The album’s success extended McEntire’s lead as the female artist with the most RIAA sales certification in Country Music history.
