We adopt songs for the seasons of our life.
It's our version of mental snapshots.
Like Jim and Pam...
Only, rather than blinking, we have to worry about skipping...
Just laugh.
Or pretend to...
In other words, we tend to set the seasons of our life to music...
What?
Don't look at me like that!
It's not unheard of!
I would venture to say that every year, you set a season of your life to the tune of "Jingle Bell Rock"...
Or if you are Techy, you set that season to the tune of this...
Point being, our little tradion is no different.
Only we tend to link major memorable life moments to music.
For instance, the year we went on our cruise while I was preggers with Little Man, it was this song...
That's right, we joined the 20 million other American's who fell in love with that song.
But it has sentimental meaning to us.
Then there was the winter of never-ending snow, that we kicked off about a week before Little Man arrived by going to a wedding in the middle of a blizzard.
Could that sentence be more confusing???
But yes, that winter was linked to Pit Bull and Sir Mix A Lot thanks to this...
Classy, right?
I know, I know.
But these are times we will never forget.
NEVER.
And true to form, we have linked this crazy phase of our life to music.
We just haven't had time to take any pictures to attach to the music of right now.
But still, I thought I would share our song for the here and now...
Because in all of this craziness, we HAVE to believe that this is gonna be a "Good Life"....

O man1 I miss you guys! I really really do !!! :( Just thought I'd let you know!!
I know that you're using the song to buffer against negative feelings - but I had to jump in and mention that I've been showing this song a lot of love in my playlists lately for the opposite reason.
Great song - and it is indeed a good life.
Hang in there! (slash is there anything we can do to help?)
