Thankful&Blessed

November is the month that people always talk about how incredibly blessed and thankful they are for everything. Instead of blowing everyone's Facebook up with things I'm blessed to have in my life, I'll just blog about thirty things I'm thankful for and post a link. Simple and easy. Plus, it gives me more time to think about things :)

Miss Tina Hughes

I'm so incredibly blessed to know some amazing musicians. The stories they write and sing about are so special.

This lovely, Tina, will always have a special place in our family. She was Erica's twin for years. We were in choir together in high school. She would awkwardly call when she'd miss the bus for a ride. Her sis, Tiff, dated my brother. They're entire family is just so cool.

I'm so proud of the person Tina is! She's in Boston now sharing her talents with anyone with ears. Her singing gives me chills.

Enjoy!

song of the day 11/11

11/11/11

today is 11/11/11. apparently, it's going to be the most magical day of my life.

i don't think so. all i see coming from today is a nap from the lack of sleep i had last night (although naps can be magical), a ton of work on something i don't want to do, possible fighting with my boss, and an evening alone since new video games surfaced this week.

sigh.

on the other hand, a sweet friend, em, blogged the other day about something that totes inspired me to do.

talents and skillz (yes, with a z.)
