music


MUSIC. I really love music, but really do not like the radio. I have one of those handy dandy cassette adapters that I use to plug my phone or ipod in the car so I can listen to whatever music I want, but with all the traveling we've been doing, my music is starting to get old and boring so I tend to revert to the radio. Well, I quickly realized why I stopped listening to the radio in the first place. They play the same songs over and over and over again and so I'm using my blog to rant about it for a bit today. Blame the radio.

The top 10 songs I will be happy to never ever hear again in my lifetime:
(Listed in order of dislike, starting with the least)

10. Wide Awake {Katy Perry}
9. Payphone {Maroon 5}
8. Good Time {Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen}
7. Lights {Ellie Goulding}
6. Where Have You Been {Rihanna}
5. Give Your Heart A Break {Demi Lovato}
4. What Makes you Beautiful {One Direction}
3. We Are Young {Fun.}
2. Call Me Maybe {Carly Rae Jepsen}
1. Somebody That I Used to Know {Gotye}

Does anyone really enjoy hearing these same songs being played all day? 
Maybe it's just me, but I'm over it. 
I spent some time going through my itunes library of 7,090 songs and found some goodies.

A few oldies, a few newbies, a little country and a little pop and here is my playlist: 

Faith When I Fall {Kip Moore}
Feel Again {OneRepublic} 
Now That We're Done {Metro Station}
I Will Wait {Mumford & Sons}
Whatever It Takes {Leona Lewis}
Why Ya Wanna {Jana Kramer} 
Kingdom Come {Coldplay} 
Where You Are {Marc Broussard}
I Feel Bad {Rascal Flatts}
Right In Front Of You {Celine Dion}
Do You Remember {Jay Sean}
Just Go {Jesse McCartney} 
Never Gone {Colton Dixon}
Let It Rain {JoJo}
Walkin' On The Moon {The Dream}

It's a start to get away from the ugly radio! 

AND 

I'm super excited for the full version of Please, Please Stay by Lucky Uke & Colbie Caillat to come out! 
Here is a sneak peak:

interstate 75 south

After some convincing and maybe a little begging, I somehow convinced my husband to drive down to SW Florida for the weekend. With only one week left in Georgia, who knows when we'll back back this way again. After living in Florida for 8 months, A little piece of me will always be there. Not to mention the fact that my Mom grew up there and we spent every other Christmas there when we were kids. I knew the trip was a must, after only 9 nine hours we made it late Thursday night. I had the greatest time showing Eric around and getting to spend the weekend with my Grandparents, Aunt Julie and Uncle Rob. The beach was OK too : ) Love to the Oney family!

lunch date


I have the greatest husband ever, seriously.
 He knows me so well it kinda scares me, a lot. 
He knows things about me that even I don't know about me! 

Today I know he was sensing that its been a long week for me here and that I was in need of some serious time out of our hotel room. He texted me 20 minutes before his class ended and told me to get ready because we are going out for lunch today

{side note}
Last Sunday when we were heading home from church there was huge accident on the interstate and cars were backed up for miles, so we were forced to take an alternate route. We were driving along some back roads and all the sudden ended up in the cutest little area of old town Marietta. Since living in Georgia both of our hotels have been right off the interstate so you have to venture out to find the cute small towns. 

So, ever since Sunday I've been dying to go back and check out the square full of antique shops and delicious food! So that's where we had lunch today! We enjoyed a HUGE pepperoni and green pepper pizza and afterward walked around the square and snapped a few photos. 

It was a good day. 




There were American flags all around the square
