31 Day Blog Post: 10 Favorite Songs

Guys. This one is going to be hard for me. Just so everyone knows. I have a few songs that I love--a very few--and lots of songs that I like. I like basically any song that I can sing in my car at the top of my lungs. I like any song that allows me to think I am the next American Idol. I have two go-to karaoke songs, and I am GOOOOOODDDD at those! However, I am going to give this my best shot.

In no particular order:

10. I Think We're Alone Now by Tiffany. Yep. This was the first song Nick and I claimed as ours, and as with anything so ridiculous, there is a funny story behind it. There was dancing. And laughing. And I might have almost lost control of the car on I-70 as a result.

9. Faithfully by Journey. This has become our song in recent months.

8. Good Life by One Republic. Okay, I do LOVE this song. It makes me happy. It makes me smile. There are lots of reasons for this. Mostly, I could just listen to it over and over and try to convince myself that life will be good again. It also makes me think of this post on Holly's blog...check the video at the end. I love the way my brothers-in-law love and appreciate my sisters.

7. I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston. This was either the first or second cassette tape I ever owned, and I wanted to be able to sing like Whitney! My gosh, what a talent! R.I.P. Whitney. You forever made an impression on this little girl.

6. Out of the Woods by Nickel Creek. Stef and Matt sing this, and that is how I first heard it. It is so hauntingly beautiful. I cry when I listen to this song a lot of the time. Not because I think it is sad. Just because it affects me like that.

5. Everything I Do I Do It For You by Bryan Adams. Mom said I should include this one. For good reason. It was one of the first songs I learned to play on the piano, and I KNOW I drove my family crazy with it. Great song though! *Side Bar: Yes, I can play the piano a little. No, I don't do it in public. Yes, my husband owes me a piano.*

4. I Am A Child of God LDS Hymn. Okay, this version is performed by Gladys Knight, who is apparently LDS. Who knew?! Probably lots of people, but I didn't know. I always loved this hymn, but it brought on new significance when I sat in the NICU with my baby and tried to sing it to her. I say tried because I pretty much bawled and hummed through the whole thing. I'm pretty sure the nurses thought I was crazy.

3. Rush Rush by Paula Abdul. Oh, yeah. Let's see...skating rink, holding hands, desperately trying to get the whole song recorded off the radio, singing it ALL the time with my brother. Anyone else? I know I'm not alone here.

2. Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. Laugh if you want, but this is my theme song and what I plan to do after this baby gets here. Yes, people, I will be bringing Sexy Back!

1. Crossroads by Bone Thugs N Harmony. Two Words: HIGH SCHOOL.

Okay, maybe a more appropriate name for this post would be 10 Songs That Have Been Significant in My Life. Here they are.

Making this list was a little easier than I thought it would be. Once I got started, things just seemed to flow.
