New Favorite Song... thanks to Phillip Collingsworth!!

I have a new favorite song!! :) Hehe

This guy's voice is the bomb. Its sooo deep. :)

I found out about this country music singer and this song when I was looking at the Collingsworth Family's website and reading the bio on their only son, Phillip. He mentioned Josh and this song as his favorite artist/song. So I thought I'd check it out, because I'd never heard of Josh Turner. It just so happens Josh is a country singer, and I just so happen to love country music, and guy singers with deep voices (Glenn Dustin anyone???) So yup. That's my story of the day.

Love,
Manda

p.s. and yes i love country. :D

A Fashion Challenge: Cowboy Boots

Normally cowboy boots are worn when working with horses and cattle, or at rodeos and whatnot. But not anymore! Cowboy boots have become a challenge to wear in the fashion world. Here are just a few pictures to spike your interest. I know I want a pair!! :)

pairing a colorful dress with cowboy boots is another great way!

So, what do you think? Would you ever wear cowboy boots even if you're not about to go wrestle with some cows??

Caution: DO NOT MESS WITH PIGS.

Happy Birthday William Moseley!

Today is William Moseley's 25th birthday!!!! It seems like just last year my sisters and I were freaking out about Will's 24th and now he's already half way to 30!! Does that make you feel old Will??

For those of you who don't know, Will wrapped awhile ago on a film called 'Run' and is currently in the middle of filming a show called 'the Selection'. :)

Anyhoo, I just wanted to write this post and wish my favorite High King of Narnia a very happy birthday, and God bless!

God Is in the Shadows

This song reminded me of the book I just finished reading, called 'The Still of Night" by Kristen Heitzmann. It was amazing, btw!! :) But it was about this couple, and their daughter they had outside marriage, who becomes adopted, and gets really, really sick. (I won't say how sick, cuz I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone who might read it). But the girl was always talking about how she could feel Jesus with her, and how she knew He was holding her hand through the whole ordeal. :) So I knew I had to post this song! Enjoy.

This song is sung, by... guess who?

Of course its the Collingsworth Family!! :)

Hawaii Bound

 

In my dreams, of course.

Ever since I started reading 'Love Finds You in Sunset Beach, Hawaii' by Robin Jones Gunn, and also after reading 'Freefall' by Kristen Heitzmann, I've been dying for a tropical vacation once summer gets here.

At least Florida would be nice! 

Love,

Its Probably Weird to Really Love A Commercial

but I love this Folgers coffee one I saw a few years ago. I'm sure most of you know my *slight* obsession with big, older brothers and little sisters, and this commercial just fed that, um, dream of mine. lol

Do any of you have older brothers?

 If you do, are the two of you close/have a good camaraderie?

Just know that I'm extremely jealous. :)

Love,
Manda

This song is played on my most favorite movie of all time -  Steve Martin's Father of the Bride. I love how soothing and relaxful and romantic it is. :) Enjoy!
