You and Me by Dave Matthews Our song.  The one that seemed to play the entire Summer we first started dating.  5 years ago this July.  Our wedding song.  Perfection. Fancy by Iggy Azalea My official Summer song for 2014.  It makes me wanna turn it up and dance!

While this song is currently being played about twice every 30 minutes on the radio, I still LOVE it.   LOVE.  It's one of those songs that, as soon as I start to hear it, I turn the volume up and get HAPPY! Everything Pharrell Williams touches lately turns to gold.  His song with Robin Thicke, Blurred Lines was my jam last year and it's another one of those, "turn it up!" songs. Get a little happy and enjoy this pretty fun video! I hope this makes you smile on your Monday.  Here's to a fabulous week!

One of the gifts my dad gave me (and I'm sure he has no idea) is a love for this guy: Anytime I hear Tom Petty on the radio, I can't help but smile.  There's something about his music and the way it takes me back to my dad strumming on his guitar as a kid that makes my <3 happy.  There aren't many artists of his time who can say that they've pretty much stayed away from crazy and can keep rocking!  When he played the halftime show of Superbowl XLII, I was completely awed.  Especially since most of their half time shows over the last several years have left much to be desired.  I digress....  I've never gotten to see him in concert, but I would LOVE to!  It's on my bucket list for sure! Here's a list of some of my FAVORITES of his (sorry about the quality of some of these videos): I Won't Back Down Free Fallin' American Girl You Wreck Me Learning to Fly Mary Jane's Last Dance Yer So Bad   Do you have any favorite bands that...

Bruno Mars "When I Was Your Man" This song has been playing on the radio stations a ton lately.  I heard it the other morning on the way into work and, although it's a break up song, I found myself beyond grateful.  Grateful because  a. I'm not going through a break up (and never again!)  and  b. because my husband is beyond wonderful. I was quick to remember that any past heartbreak I had been through, led me to an amazing man who later became my incredible husband.  And for that, I'm thankful. Isn't it funny how random things can just make you happy and grateful for what you have?
