Music...

this post is all about music. why is music so addicting? music is such a staple in my life...i really can't imagine life w/out it. it's amazing how a tune can take you back in time...even make you smell a scent from wherever you were when you made the memory. some musical memories for me are things like...when i hear MOBY i think of when i was pregnant w/ tristan..i used to put the headphones on my belly and let him listen...i swear to god he LOVES moby...i don't know if it is just cooincidence? another memory is of DAVE MATTHEW and me and dh at the beach splashing in the waves, in love, making memories. so many songs that i hear remind me of when i was a kid...like TEARS FOR FEARS...it reminds me of being at the park...i must've been singing it or something because every time i hear the song it takes me back to that very moment. i can remember the feeling of swinging high w/ my sister beside me. to me, that is just amazing that music can do that!!!! isn't it?? it's just music...how can it have that big of an effect on the mind?? for me, most musical memories are good ones. i don't have too many that aren't so great...but there are a few that remind me of ex lovers, or bad times in my life.

all in all i would have to say that i think i would shrivel up and die without music. that said...i'm gonna go charge up my mp3 player so i don't have to die. LMAO

All About Me!!

so, here i am...i'm new to the blog world. i'm not really completely sure where to start...but hey you've got to start somewhere, right?? lol anyways, i'm going to be selfish and make this first blog post 'all about me'!! so, here goes!

my name is amanda. i'm 27 years old (YIKES!), and i'm mother to tristan who will be 8 in september, and jordyn who just turned 4. i'm married to frank going on 5 years...he is 31 years old and works as a sheriffs deputy at the jail here in town. the 3 of them are really my life. they're what my world revolves around pretty much. i wouldn't have it any other way. i'm a stay at home mommy and LOVE it!! it's really the best thing i could've ever asked for! i love that i've been able to be a part of every little thing in my childrens lives since i've been enabled to be a sahm.

a few little things about me are that i love music, art, writing, the beach, photography, and most anything creative really. i'm working right now on starting my own hairbow boutique. i've met some really awesome people who are helping me along and teaching me the ways of the business. i'm ready for whatever comes my way! i have 2 cats, and we're currently looking to adopt a dog.

anyways, that's about it i think. i really think i'm gonna like this blog thing!! thanks for looking!!
