Joel...
Well...I am getting a new cell phone hopefully tomorrow and finally figured out how to get these pictures off my phone without deleting them. I cry every time I look at them because of how we felt during this time. The emotions just come rolling back like it is happening all over again. I still haven't been able to watch the video we took for his birth. I know I am so blessed to have this sweet guy in my life, who makes me laugh and keeps me on my toes...it's just still so fresh in my mind! Just so blessed and thankful for this little bundle of energy! Can't help but to spoil him rotten!

Songs that make me happy.
You have to be ready to turn up the volume and enjoy these three. They aren't crazy...they're just some of my favorite songs to lift the spirits. So, if you're down...remember these songs as fun pick-me-ups.
1. I love this song. In fact...I've recently taken the step to call it my favorite song. There are more than just musical reasons. I'm a sucker for nostalgia and this reminds me of when I was little, hanging out at home in the afternoons with my big sisters. In the time frame between getting home from school and the absolute deadline to begin cleaning and have it done before our parents came home, they would force me to watch MTV. I would rather have been watching He-Man, Transformers and G.I. Joe. But, every now and then...this song came on and it made me laugh. It isn't He-Man...but it's almost as enjoyable to the 9 year old in me. It makes me happy. (Thanks for the memories Annmarie and Melanie)

2. This song is just awesome. I like it. A lot. It is one of my favorites and the man singing it has a cool story. He died young, but touched a lot of lives and lived life happy, thinking of family, friends and community over himself. He was loved and at the end of this you'll see the kind of love people had for him at his traditional Hawaiian funeral. This song makes me happy and want to close my eyes and think of good things.

3. A classic. It just is. And it makes me happy.

So what songs make you happy? The ones that make you smile when you hear them, no matter how your day was going before it came on?
