Today I am thankful for music. For me, music is so powerful and listening to the right song can make my whole day better. Instantly. Music makes the hard times bearable and makes the good times that much better. Everyday when I get off work, I plug my iPhone into the car and blast whatever song I'm loving at the moment and seriously... instant happiness :)
I like so many different kinds of music and my playlists are always really random. I love country music (Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift). I love music I can dance to (Black Eyed Peas, Kesha, Rihanna, GaGa, Jay Sean). And yes, I am that girl that dances in the car, in my room, in the shower, while I vacuum... always always dancing. I also love Christian music (Praise You In The Storm by Casting Crowns always helps me get through tough days). I love music that calms me down and makes me happy (John Mayer, Train, Kings of Leon, Owl City). And I can always enjoy some good ol' Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. I love it all!
Last night, I bought a ton of new music on iTunes in preparation for my trip in a few days and my new playlist is making my Friday extra wonderful. Here's one song that I'm currently obsessed with, Hey Soul Sister by Train...
Blog Timeline
Here's a little guide to how my life has evolved since this blog first started back in 2008. Looking back now, I've gone through some very distinct and significant chapters. The archives at the bottom follow along accordingly :)
December 2008-July 2010:
Graduating from college, experiencing life as newlyweds, moving to the far-away land of Mississippi, enduring the hectic lifestyle of Air Force pilot training, discovering my passion for web design, and transitioning into life as a real "grown-up".
August 2010- December 2010:
Moving back in with my parents in California while Jake was away at training in Oklahoma, living in a complete state of "limbo", growing my newly launched web design business, and loving life back on the best coast - oops! - I mean west coast ;)
January 2011- March 2012:
Discovering what it's like to have life-altering medical issues, struggling through tragic loss, physical pain, emotional pain, never-ending doctor's appointments and medical tests, all while trying to start our new life at Travis AFB... Learning to trust God even in the darkest times and constantly praying for healing.
April 2012- Present Day:
Experiencing healing from my physical pain, enjoying a career that I absolutely love, making the most wonderful friends here at Travis, and striving to live every single day to the FULLEST. God is so good! John 10:10 - Read it :)
