Local Natives Concert

Here's a video from the Local Natives concert last night! The song is "You and I" from their newest album, Hummingbird.

Breathe It In

Here's a song written by my good friend, Robyn. Performed by the band Breathing Colors.

Tunes for Spring

As you can probably tell by my dwindling posts, school and work this semester have not given me much time or mental capacity to blog. But, I did want to send a little something your way in celebration of spring and the approach of summer! Here's a pretty cover of "Wrecking Ball" by Sarah Blackwood (from the band Walk Off the Earth) and friends. I believe you can still download this version for free here.

And...here's one more for the road! I have a crush on John Legend's voice, and you all know how I feel about Lindsey Stirling. :) Enjoy.

Phone Provider Survey

Please help settle a disagreement between my husband and me regarding which cell phone provider we should choose. Our current contract is ending soon, and we definitely want to leave our current company. I created this short survey to gather some feedback from others about their own phone experiences. It will only take about 2 minutes to complete: Phone Provider Survey. Thanks for your help!

I Am Mountain

It has been a ridiculously long time since I posted on here! Clearly, my school brain does not have much room for fun writing. Sadly, fun reading has gone out the door as well. I suppose it should be just another motivator for finishing school as soon as possible. Fortunately, I am not yet at that point where I ask myself, "Why did I CHOOSE to go back to school?!" However, I have a feeling that sentiment might appear in the next couple months. :)

In a quick summary, school is good, work is good, and overall, life is good too! I was able to go home for Christmas, which was really nice, and now I'm just suffering through the bitter Midwestern cold. I don't think I need to expand on that.

Here's a song I want to share, called "I am Mountain" by the band Gungor. Enjoy!

Love,

H

The Civil War[s]

If by some strange chance, you haven't heard of The Civil Wars, consider this your introduction. Maybe if you used to (or still do) listen to CCM, you are familiar with Joy Williams who represents half this band, but if you want to hear something with that same sound, this band is not for you.

In case you don't know, this pair has been feuding and the two haven't spoken in over a year...yet, they were still able to record this new album (oh, the wonders of technology). Anyway, if you're not familiar with The Civil Wars, you should go look up their first album, "Barton Hollow," because it's amazing. They were not fighting at that time, and their vocal chemistry is pretty awesome. I haven't listened to their new album in entirety yet, but what I've heard so far can be summed up by this review on iTunes: 

"...run through with riveting tension, enigmatic beauty, and smoldering emotion." 

Sounds like the perfect soundtrack for this transition to the dark, cold winter that approaches us. :)

Enjoy.
