Music & Melodies

My one true passion in life (besides my family of course!) has always been music. As a kid I wanted to play the violin-of all things, and my Mom made that happen. I taught myself how to play-by-ear on my keyboard, and have always had a good ear for lyrics (meaning that I can hear a song only once, maybe twice, and have the words pretty much memorized). I sometimes have a tendency to find bands and artists before they become main stream, and have always wanted to play the drums. Instead, I use my steering wheel!


So where am I going with this you ask? Well, music to me is like religion to others. I look to songs and lyrics for resolution. I don't just hear the music and lyrics, I feel them.  I relate to them.

For me, a good song can make a bad day that much better. And a slow song can depict my exact mood by explaining how I feel better than I can. It almost seems, as cheesy as this sounds, that the artist has written that song just for me. It's almost like they knew I needed to hear it at that exact moment in time.


There are some songs that take me back to a certain time in my life, and bring a flood of memories rushing back. Almost like a time machine. I love how music can have that affect on me!


Also I have noticed that Emma seems to be following my lead-at least in that direction! She loves music! She is always dancing, likes the same music/bands/artists that I do. Recently, she has started singing everything that she needs to say! It's pretty funny, actually. For instance, she will sing a sentence. Or sing about what she is doing! Ha! She will ask to listen to her favorites, such as; Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon and Keith Urban!

This past August, I was BLESSED with the experience of winning an online contest to Meet & Greet Keith Urban! One of my best friends, Nicole (who loves him as much as I do!) was able to join me in this once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was literally the best time, and the best concert we have ever attended!

I AM A MUSIC ADDICT!
