Wishing for a rainy Saturday. For your viewing pleasure. Benjamin and I found out this was filmed in Iceland. I think I'll be visiting those mountain ranges someday ♥

Bloglovin'

If you're like me and read a million blogs, it's really hard to keep up with all of them! When I first got into blogs, I used Google Reader and it was great. BUT now I have a new way to organize and stay in the know! Bloglovin'. It's the best AND it has a trusty app for my beloved iPhone (I'm addicted to that thing).

If you want to follow me just hit the little "subscribe" button on my bloggy! Ps- did you notice I redesigned my blog? I'm not completely done yet, but I love it so far :)

Here is a beautiful video for your viewing pleasure that my friend posted on his twitter. I wish I could dance like this.

{YES}

This video makes me just want to scream SUMMER!!!!!!! 
Also, it has so many colors and glow in the dark (eeeeek!). Reason #247 & 248 why I love Coldplay.

Challenge: listen to this while driving home from work, school, pool or anything with the windows down. Just scream! It feels awesome. This one's for you Bo...

{Dreamlights}

Okay watch these. When I watched them, I muted the video and was listening to Beautiful Things by Gungor. Bo showed me these videos and I'm obsessed. How did he know I would be? I

Here's the story. It's like real life Tangled!!!!!

{Coldplay}

Coldplay has a new song coming out on Friday!!!!! It's called Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.
I CANNOT WAIT.
As you know, Coldplay is my favvvvvvey so whenever new things come out, I listen on repeat.
Yay! Download it on iTunes this Friday!!
The lyrics and artwork are on their website so check it out :)

P.S- I leave Chi town today, I miss my Tejas.

{Us and Our Daughters}

I know, I have had a lot of posts about music lately but here's another!! 

I have a lot of time to listen to music while I'm working on mi computadora. 

I also have a lot of time finding new bands I love.

Homies- these peeps are good. Go buy their album? Worth it. My fav is "Honey."

P.S.- The ACL lineup is up. I'm going. Friday. Coldplay AND Ray? I swoon. $90 never sounded so cheap. Happy Birthday to ME!

{Calgary}

I literally cannot wait for Bon Iver's new album. JUNE 21st BABY.

Go. Listen. Fall in love.

Summer playlist.

In honor of Bo's birthday, {Insert singing happy 24th birthday}, I have made the summer playlist!  You can go here if you want to listen to it on Grooveshark. I will say that it's not perfect. 

It has both chill music and music I like to call "hype." 

I just wanted to give Bo a little present for his special day, hope you like it :) 

Here it is on iTunes. This version is more chill. 

Happy listening! 

P.S- this was my study break mom, I promise.

Tenuousness

Watch. This. Video. It's crazy awesome. 

I really wish I could whistle....

P.S.- Stay tuned this week for a playlist that's sure to enrich your summer sunshine happiness :)

dreamy.

Today I want to live out my fantasy. 

I have been dreaming.... 

lakes and raspberries and sweet tea with lemon and Jesus and sunglasses and wind and music and my camera

Should I take a day off today?

I really want to.

Mumford & Sons - The Banjolin Song / Awake my soul - A Take Away Show #105 from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

warning sign.

i have two favorite bands. mumford & sons and coldplay. 

coldplay was the first cd i ever bought and i never get sick of them.

this post goes out to my bestie anna. driving around d-town listening to this song last night brought me happiness.

i love that feeling. full.

 music does bring me happiness. so do my best friends.
do me a favor and listen to this song.

i miss you ans, loves ya!

oh holy night.

my favorite christmas song of all time is "oh holy night."

right now i have 10 different versions in line on grooveshark.

i love it!

but really. think about the lyrics. i wish we sung this in church all year. 

long lay the world, in sin and error pining

till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth.

a thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices,

for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

sheesh. want a little background?

placide cappeau, what an author. in 1847 a priest asked him to write a poem for christmas. he did and wrote a beautiful hymn. he asked his friend adolphe adams to compose music to go along with the words. oh p.s, it was first written in french :)

the rest of the words in the song are so beautiful as well. but i love the lyric "long lay the world, in sin and error pining till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth." 
we don't deserve His perfection. His mercy. His love.


merry christmas everyone!!

savvy.

I feel really technologically savvy..I learned how to make ringtones on my iTunes and put them on my phone. I have to admit that I've spent a ridiculous amount of time doing this. Everyboday gets a ringtone!! WHOO! (spoken like the "everyboday gets a humpback whale!!")

Also, breaking news. Ben Rector has a new EP. Get it.

And, recently I've been obsessed with Mumford & Sons. So if you don't know them, go listen. Awake my Soul is my favorite. Little Lion Man is too but it has a really abrupt cuss word in the middle of the chorus. So that limits the times I can listen to it, don't want to pollute the little puberty ears of my brothers. Good sister right?

In addition, I love kids. Babysitting Maranda yesterday (she's 2) and we were at Chick Fil A, she's sees this guy and goes "WOA THAT MAN IS A VERY BIG MAN!!" Real loud. Real embarrassing. Real real funny. To be fair...he was extremely large. Kids say the darndest things.
