A Few of My Favorite Things

Recently I have been attempting to BLOG MORE!  As in the past I would often go for months without posting something new.  Well, as I was trying to think of things to write about I decided to talk about a few of my favorite things.  Here it goes:



Favorite all-time candy:  Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  Yum!  Second would be strawberry Twizzlers.

What keeps me going?  I am not a coffee drinker, but unfortunately I am a big time soda drinker.  Diet Mountain Dew keeps me going.  And I drink way too much of it. 

I have been wanting to get a necklace with all of the kids names on it, and I finally found one I like at http://www.thevintagepearl.com/  She has some beautiful jewlery on this website.  It was hard to decide. 
When it came in the mail I was so excited.  This is what it looks like.

Another relatively new piece of jewlery that I love is my Pandora charm braclet.  The picture below is not my actual bracelet, but just a picture of one.  It is definately one of my favorite things, and I can't wait to get enough charms to fill up the whole bracelet. 

If you know me well, then it is no secret that I love the Dave Matthews Band!

I love Dave Matthews. 
His music is soothing to my soul.
Any album, it does not matter. 
If I could only listen to one type of music for the rest of my life...that is who it would be. 
I love listening to it in the kitchen when I am cooking, doing the dishes or ironing. 
In fact, I love listening to Dave anytime.  
And I like listening to him live even more.
Marshall and I have been to their concert every year since before we were married (and we have been married for 10 years, so it has been even more concerts than that!)
Going to their concert every summer is something I look forward to every year.  We have seen him at Lakewood, Turner Field, Phillips Arena, and even Piedmont Park.  Heck, we have even seen him in Alabama!  And we have already bought our tickets for this summer's concert.  :) 
During college I bought a gigantic poster (shown below) and had it in my room for several years.  I even hung it in our first three homes after we got married.  Finally-it was time to retire it. 

The last thing that I will mention is that I have a recent love of carrots.  I know, weird right?  I have not even really liked carrots my entire life, but recently I really like them.  To the point that I take baby carrots in my lunch everyday and look forward to eating them.  They are so crunchy and sweet - yum!  Weird.
