Little Viola Girl

Today Miss Savannah Klaire had an orchestra festival at UVU. The mommy and I were able to go up there and watch Mapleton Junior High's 7th grade orchestra perform a couple songs. This was my first time finally seeing my cutie-head sister play her viola with the rest of her orchestra. They sounded really good and were quite cute. Savannah was front and center and, of course, very fun to watch. She's quite the little musician - I was excited to see her show off her skills. She's always told me she loved orchestra and from what I've heard of her practicing at home, she is good and loves her viola. I knew she was anxious for me to see her perform, too. (thats one of the best parts of being a big sister..you're little sisters are always excited to show you what they've been working hard on and are proud of and have you experience the these things) I even got a few smiles from her while they were tuning for their performance. Good job, Banny! :) I love you!

there's so much to be thankful for

These are the lyrics from Josh Groban's (yum) song called, 'Thankful.' Great Thanksgiving song.

Hope you're all having a fabulous Thanksgiving and take a moment or two to really think about how blessed we all are. There's SO much to be thankful for! 

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for

Mr. Brandon Flowers {is hott}

Brandon Flowers is the lead singer for the band, The Killers, and he is a Mormon.

This is awesome. Go ahead and watch.

Mrs.Paisley...if only..

I am terribly, awfully jealous of Brad Paisley's wife..

Lets just say that.

I love him. I'd also love marrying him.

And this would be "our song."

musica

Joe Jonas and I have had our up and downs. I can never decide if I love or hate him.

Can't live with him, can't live without him.

But right now...its love. 

He recently released this song. I'm fairly certain he wrote the lyrics with my "relationship" situation, in mind. What a gem. Thanks, Joe boy.

(the quality of the picture isn't the best, but its the words & music i wanted you to hear, anyway.)

Secret Love. Yum.

I know I've said it before, but I love music. Its a love I can't describe. Just...Love. K? Do you know what music I really, really love? Music that can easily be a religious song. Maybe not Mo-Tab (although, yes, they're great) but songs that could be heard on the radio that are good, "church-y songs," if you will. It seems like these days all the songs on the radio are about things that, lets face it, we don't need to be singing about. So its nice to hear music that makes you think about better things than, you know...that other stuff.


My great friends (i wish) He is We, have a song called, "His Name." This song is exactly what I'm talking about.Its a simple song about prayer. About surrendering ourselves to God and letting Him help us. "Just call His name," the song says. Mmmmm...


Here are the lyrics, if you care to know them. If not, its cool, we can still be friends. Also, down on my playlist I have this song..you know, if you wanted to listen.


Why am I so afraid of the night?
A silhouette it taunts me.
My lack of faith in this beautiful life,
My knowing of it haunts me.
I’m haunted,
And know I should be afraid.

Lay awake at night,
Cry you know it’s not alright,
To feel like your falling into nothing.
You can learn to fly.
Just call, His name.
Just call His name.

Suddenly I wonder why I feel so alone,
I know there’s something out there.
Thought I’d suck it up and do it all on my own,
Wish I’d known he does care.
I’m haunted,
And I know I should be afraid.

Lay awake at night,
Cry you know it’s not alright,
To feel like your falling into nothing.
You can learn to fly.
Just call, His name.
Just call His name.

Where do we go?
Call out His name.
Lift up our hands,
Completely ashamed.
Give it all up,
Dropping our pride.
Rip us apart,
Change us on the inside.
We cry out to You
We fall on our knees.
Change us now.

Lay awake at night,
Cry you know it’s not alright,
To feel like your falling into nothing,
You can learn to fly.
Cry you know it’s not alright.
You can learn to fly

music to my ears

my song/band of the moment.

he is we (i wouldn't mind)

a lovely person in my life and i decided its clearly our theme song :]

this song gives me butterflies.

please, enjoy.

Which Seat Can I Take?!

I don't like making fun...

Its mean...

But then I saw this and I just couldn't help it.

What in the WORLD is this? Its "talent" like this that makes me really wonder why I'm not famous. I'm pretty dang sure I could do a heck of a lot better than this.

Ah, this poor little girl. I hope her next song (if there will be one) is a lot better.

Enjoy this, and good luck choosing which seat you should take...on Friday.

i don't love you but i always will

This is my all time new favorite song...and possibly new favorite band.

song: Poison & Wine

artist: The Civil Wars

Seriously, so good. You should definitely listen to it. (Yes, you'll have to mute my music down at the bottom of this page.)

Blah, I'm in love with it. I wish I could write/sing music like this. My life would be complete, then.

They are fabulous. Listen to them and love them, k?

I'm done gushing, now.

Listen, listen!

YUMMY.

Love it, love it, love it!
