SMILE!

I think everyone should be able to smile about this. :)

Friends Make the World Go Round

This past Saturday was my 10 year high school reunion. Say what? Yea you heard me. 10 years! Goodnight time is flying by. What I love most about the past 10 years is that the crowd I went with to the reunion was just like any other typical Saturday night. Our group of girls was one tight knit group in high school. And we have stayed tight over the past 10 years. I have been so blessed by this group of gals. Each one is so special and dear to me. Beautiful on the outside - and most importantly on the inside. I love that we keep up on a weekly if not daily basis. Through time we have all definitely grown up and changed. For the better. We've been there for the good times and the bad times. But thankfully most of it has been all good. Three weddings and a baby later. With lots more weddings and babies to come. And memories. Oh the memories. Friends definitely do make the world go round. For me anyways.

I was going through my camera today and I came across some pictures from.....Carrie Underwood! I can't believe I managed to neglect blogging about that concert. Especially since Carrie was sweet enough to throw a concert on my birthday in ATX. So sweet of her to think of me. :) All I can say is that chick has some serious pipes. She sang a bit of 'How Great Thou Art' - gave me major goosebumps! So talented. Love her.

Music To My Ears

This has been a huge week of music for me. Not necessarily live shows. But album wise. Two albums were released this week that I have been eagerly anticipating. And wowzers - they did not disappoint.

First Brett Younker released The New Has Come. This album release is near and dear to my heart because my extremely talented musician cousin Paul Whittinghill plays the drums on this album. Not to mention the album is one of the best collections of worship songs I have heard in a very long time. The boys even got a shout out from Chris Tomlin on Twitter on CD release day. You know the album is out of this world when a veteran like Chris is showing the love. So you should check it out!

The second album that I was so excited for was Lee Brice's debut album Love Like Crazy. I blogged about his hit single Love Like Crazy not too long ago. And his album is out of this world! He is such a talented song writer, musician and vocalist. It's not very often you find someone with all of those talents in the mainstream music industry these days. Lee has written hits for the likes of Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks. This guy is going to be huge. Mark my words. I can feel it. I can't WAIT to see him live. Beautiful Every Time is probably my fave. But then again, I don't think I can honestly chose a fave out of his album. Yes it's that good people.

Just trust me. Download these two albums. Have I ever lead you wrong? ;)
