How about this one? Their voices are incredible! I first heard it on Jaime's blog and I've been obsessed ever since.
Any new music that you are loving? I always love to hear new bands and songs.

The One With Some Music
I've been loving this song by a brand new artist, Redlight King. It's so freaking amazing.....have you heard it yet?

The One With a Little Catch Up
Just a little catch up post since it's been so long. Currently, I am....
Loving.... Pinterest. I cannot get enough of this website. The inspiration is incredible. If anyone wants an invite, please leave me a comment! I'd be happy to invite you. Be warned, it is very addicting! But so much fun.
Excited for... May 15th!!! The day we get the keys to our new house!! We literally drive past it atleast 5x a week, we are that excited. C'mon May 15th!
Worried... about my boyfriend finding a job. He will continue to work an hour and a half away until he can find a job closer to me and our new house. He has applied to a few places but hasn't heard anything yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but it has been keeping me up at night.
Creating.... not enough! I spend a few hours each day dreaming of having time to create again. I am hoping to do some scrapbooking in a few weeks, but my knitting has been sadly neglected. I can't wait to move in and get settled so I can play again. I have so many ideas but no time to put them into action.
Hating... the weather! I know, it's only April. And it's Minnesota. But still....we were teased with some amazing days a few weeks ago and my flip flops came out. I haven't worn them since, but haven't had the heart to put them back away. I just want Spring to be here SO BAD.
Wondering... what this summer is going to bring. I know we have lots of plans and fun things/ideas in our heads, but I wonder how much we will be able to do. We are very excited for warm weather and road trips, farmers markets, camping and being outdoors.
Craving... Summer fruits. We had some watermelon and grapes today but they weren't quite perfect yet. I love Summer fruits and veggies!
Hoping... that the move goes smoothly. Oh and that I get to see my sister in May!
Watching.... Just Go With It. Due Date. Four of a Kind. 127 Hours. The MN Twins. How I Met Your Mother. Storage Wars. American Pickers. Wipeout. Make It or Break It.
Reading... Sing You Home. The Dry Grass of August. Octoberfest. Trashy magazines. Real Simple. Pretty Little Liars.
Looking forward to... Spring and Summer. (and moving to our new home!) I am ready for short sleeves, capris and of course, flip flops!!
What are you doing currently? I'd love to hear. :)

The One With Vegas, Baby!
Well, a week from today I'll be joining the dirty 30 club. Luckily, I'll be in Vegas, living it up in the warm, sunny desert. I plan to have some drinks, do some gambling and eat some decadent food. The boyfriend and I have big plans for our vacation--we will be in the southwest for 8 days & 9 nights! I am MORE than ready to get out of the cold, slushy, snowy midwest and into the warm, sunny desert.
We plan on seeing several shows, including: this, this and this. We've heard amazing reviews about all of them, and there are SO many wonderful shows out in Vegas. It was very hard to narrow it down to only those 3.
We also are planning to go to BLT Burger and have a Twinkie(!) shake and a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3.
We both love to gamble and we plan on hitting up many casinos to try our hands at blackjack (our fave!), keno, roulette and lots of fun slot machines. We will be visiting Death Valley National Park, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead & the Hoover Dam while we are in the area as well. I have been doing a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of research about our trip and I can't believe how many beautiful and historic places are in the area! So many people think Vegas.....oh that's just for gambling, drinking, etc. But there are so many interesting things to do, even if you don't gamble!
So, it looks like it should be a stellar birthday vacation. My amazing boyfriend has really gone all out with the planning and I can't belive I'm so lucky to go somewhere so awesome to celebrate turning 30.
Have you been to Las Vegas? What sights do you recommend seeing while we are out there? Any casinos we can't miss? Places to eat?

The One With 8 Things About Me
8 things about me.
I was tagged by the lovely and oh-so-crafty Cynthia, so here goes...
1. When I was 10 years old, I won the spelling bee at my school on a Friday and then broke my wrist on Saturday. It was an eventful weekend, to say the least!
2. My favorite holiday is Halloween & my favorite season is Fall. I look forward to both literally ALL year long and am so sad when they are over.
3. Two of the goals on my bucket list are to visit all MN State Parks & all National Parks. When we go to Vegas in 3 weeks, I'll be able to visit atleast 2 National Parks! This makes me giddy.
4. My favorite drink in the world is Cranberry + Vodka, but I can NOT resist a shot of Jagermeister.
5. I am completely obsessed with books & reading. I never leave the house without a book and I bet I spend more time at my local library in a month than most people do all year.
6. I am pretty sure I love football more than most men. I can't get enough of it. I'm getting really into baseball too, but not quite as much as football.
7. When I set my alarm to wake up in the morning, the end number must be 7. 7:47, 8:07, etc.
8. I always, always wash my hands with ice cold water. I really don't know how or why this started, but I can't seem to stop doing it.
Thanks, Cindy! This was fun. And, since they are pretty much my only readers, I tag both of my sisters! (:

The One With Five on Friday
Five things I'm loving today:
1.) This popcorn popper. I absolutely adore my air popper, but it's kind of a pain in the ass because you have to haul it out, clean it by hand, make a big batch, etc. So this would be perfect to just pop in the microwave. It's done in less than 3 minutes and it's as healthy as you want to make it. Looks like it's sold out right now though, boo!
2.) This video. Being a HUGE, life-long Packer fan as influenced by my father, of course I am beyond ecstatic that they made it to the superbowl. My only wish is that my Dad could be here to see it and we were all watching the big game together. But I do know that he has the best seat in the house, that's for sure, and may have had a hand in helping them get there. Next Sunday will be EPIC. For now, please watch the video. You will probably NOT be amused if you a.) are not a Packer fan or football fan in general or b.) have never heard "Like a G6" by Far East Movement. Me, I think it is perfect.
3.) This girls yarn. I have been a long time reader of her blog and Jen hand dyes her own yarn. I have been coveting a skein for weeks. I'm not sure which one to get, she has so many beautiful colors! And she even has PACKER colors, which makes her even more awesome. Visit her etsy shop here.
4.) This owl. Yes, I am still obsessed with owls, even while others may have decided they will go by the wayside for the next cool trend. Me, I can't help but continue to love the little guys. They just make me smile. Found this one in this etsy shop and plan to make him mine very soon. Also, all of her cute critters make me want to learn to crochet even more! I must get on that.
5.) This rug. The boyfriend and I have been spending a lot of time in the past few weeks shopping for furniture and I am obsessing over this rug. I *need* it in my home.
(None of these images are mine and I was not paid or reimbursed by any of these affiliates. YET.:) What are you loving or coveting today?
