From when I was a kid I can remember some songs that really had special places in my heart.
I can remember riding in the old Oldsmobile sitting backwards in the seat looking at where we had just come from as we would drive down the road. As I picture this memory, I am looking down at myself and I am humming, singing, or nah nah'ing some tune. I know for a fact that I didn't have a very "tuned" voice, and I wasn't very good at picking out the melody or singing harmony, but I loved to sing! Music always brought something special to my life, it always seems to soothe me, comfort me, inspire me, and help me focus my thoughts and actions. Throughout the years I dedicated myself to singing a lot and practicing and eventually I arrived at being able to sing fair enough that no one grabs their ears and screams "PLEASE STOP" hehe! Anyways, here are some songs that really touch my heart, and have impacted my life in one way or another. All of them have some emotional tie to my past, and a story to go with them. These are from when I was a child, and will forever and always go down in my heart as some of the songs that defined who I am.....
Bryan Adams: Everything I do
Alabama: Angels Among Us
LDS Hymns: The Spirit of God
Bette Midler: The Rose
Alan Jackson: Chatahoochee
Alan Jackson: Littly Bitty
Bryan Adams: Please Forgive Me
Alabama: I'm in a Hurry
LDS Childrens songbook: I love you
Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams
Billy Joel: We didnt start the Fire
Journey: Don't Stop Believing
U2: With or Without You
The Bangles: Walk Like and Egyptian
Coolio: Gangsta's Paradise
Louis Armstrong: What a Wonderful World
Judy Garland: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Julie Andrews: My Favorite Things
And so on and so forth. I love music, and Spring time makes me think of all the music that has helped me do a lot of things in life....oh and if you hear me sing and you think it is terrible, please please please be discrete in sharing it with me, I do honestly believe that we are supposed to "make a joyful noise". I love all kinds of music that is uplifting, wholesome, and energetic., and I am pleased to note that music is a large part of my life to this day, I love to work with my music, play with music, drive with music, and do all things with appropriate music. LOve LOve Love it!

- I love being married to my sweet hubby Chris. Marriage isn't perfection, but bliss is in seeing your best friend smile because you make them happy. I am so grateful to know that I have been sealed to him in the Temple for eternity. I love that we work together everyday to make sure we make it to eternity together....now if only I could figure out how to keep my house cleaned like I want.....
