Falling in Love...

I don't know about you, but I LOVE getting Free Music!
And Amazon MP3 has got to be one of my favorite places to get it from. Every now and then they will give you $2 credit to be purchased towards whatever songs you like (cool, huh!). Also they like to spotlight various upcoming and popular Artists by giving away one of their songs for free (I'm not talking some po-dunk song, but one of the band's most popular!).

So I thought I'd share the love and post the links to...

$2 credit to Amazon MP3

and Amazon MP3's Rising Stars of 2013.

You can thank me after you melt of happiness :)

P.S. I don't know about you but I think I'll spend my $2 on some more Black Prairie and Little Green Cars music. Their voices are AMAZING!! Don't believe me? Check out these videos:

Enjoy!

Date Night to the Max

Last year Mike and I tried something a little different when it came to our date night. We came up with a list of things we would like to do (52 in total, so we had to do one each week) and then we (were supposed to) update our blog with a post about each date...

Well, it went... okay. We didn't do EVERY date we had hoped but we did to a good number of them. And while we weren't the best at posting about each one, I believe we did take pictures during the majority of them!

So this year, Mike and I created a date list again, but THIS time instead of creating a post every time, we'll try to take a picture during each activity (which you'll be able to see in our Instagram Feed-so it's almost like a dedicated post!).

So, the official date list for 2013 is...
1-Make of list of must-haves in your dream home
2-Paint each other's portrait
3-Plan our *vacation* for this year
4-Make a map of places we have been and want to go. Make a list of places and sites to see. (We both liked the idea of using this as the start, or a world map)
5-Teach each other something new

16-Volunteer at the local homeless shelter.
17-Play Board Games (we love Monopoly!)
