80s Baby

I've been holding off on this playlist for quite sometime. I felt like I needed to save it for the right moment. But after this weekend I couldn't hold off any longer. All signs pointed towards 80s. Sign #1. Adam and I were talking about the things we could do when he gets home - and 80s dancing was one of the first options. Sign #2. Manic Monday came on the radio when I was driving to work. On Monday. Nailed it. Sign #3. Pretty in Pink was on TV Friday night when I had nothing else to do. Sign #4. I was reminded of this video. Okay. Maybe that wasn't a sign. But either way. Here you have it. My favorite decade with my favorite music. Give me some shoulder pads and some spandex. It is 80s time people!

Walkout Songs

It has been a lot of baseball these last weeks. In fact... ever since I met Adam it has been a lot of baseball. Two seasons at BYU, eight trips to out of town games, one professional season, and too many games online watching a tracker or a blurry video to count. Baseball is what our family does. And will always do. But ya know what? I am okay with that. Because it is something I have grown to love through my relationship with Adam. One thing that is very special to baseball is walkout songs. Each player gets to pick their very own song for when they walkout. For pitchers it is a song for them to warm up to when they start. A good solid minute of pumping up to their favorite jam. For position plays it is about 10 seconds every time they walk up to bat. And it is only for the home team. Home field advantage is everything, yeah? So here are some of my favorite walkout songs from the last couple years.

Getting Jiggy With It - Will Smith

Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

I Work Out

My brother and I have started to set goals for fitness and then we check in every night. We both have had back issues for along time, so we think that working on fitness and posture will help us out. Last week you might have seen me post that I burned 1000 calories during my workout. Well, this week I will be burning 1000 for 6 days straight. That is my goal! This week starts the official start of my #burn1000challenge! And I have to do it, because Sean will never let me live it down if I don't. So this week's playlist is dedicated to workout songs. What is your favorite tune to get your fitness on with? What do you like to play in your earbuds when you are running? Share, share! I need all the motivation and pump up I can get!

Country Living

This week's playlist is inspired by my weekend trip. A weekend in Montana will remind you of your roots... just kidding. I never listened to much country until I met Adam. And Montana was a good reminder of those tunes. A little bit of cowboy. A little bit of country. And that pretty much explains my time in Montana. This week is all about country living. Kick up your boots and enjoy.

Wedding Playlist

I know this playlist is late - but I didn't feel like I could leave you guys hanging right in the middle of our love story so I pushed it back a few days. Sticking with the wedding theme, today I am sharing part of the playlist from Adam's and my reception. This playlist is extra special because not only is it something that we listened to at our receptions but it is something we both have on our phones now to listen to. The other night we were talking about it and we both still listen to it, a year later, when we can't sleep or when we miss each other while we are apart. Because it is the perfect reminder of the most perfect day.
