Things I Love Thursday

Thanks to my quick-thinking beau and his kind heart, I now have 2 new albums in my possession:

1. Corrine Bailey Rae's "The Love E.P."

I really enjoyed the album in it's entirety, though there were only 5 songs.

My fave was definitely her rendition of "Que Sera Sera" with a vocal accompaniment by John McCallum. It was 13 minutes and 26 seconds of pure awesomeness!

2. Adele's sophomore album "21"

I liked the overall progression of the songs on the album. In a way, it depicted all the feelings one experiences when going through a break-up.

Her voice was so crisp and I can honestly say that I felt every emotion emitted through her voice and the lyrics, especially in the songs "Don't You Remember" and "Take It All". Those two were also my favorite songs on the album.

I also think her closing song, "Someone Like You", was absolutely splendid. It was like, the song that expresses all the feelings you still have for a past love who has moved on while you haven't.

"I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
'Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead'"

Things I Love Thursday

This week, I'm in love with young, married, Christian bloggers. They sometimes give readers a glimpse of their lives and marriage bliss through their blog posts and I cannot help but to anticipate feeling that same bliss.

The first is Sydney's blog, The Daybook. She often blogs about her time spent with "Husband" or the cute, quirky things he does on a daily basis. Her love for her husband drips off of every word used to write about him. This is by far my favorite post!

I also like Katie's blog, life observed by {kate}. They are newlyweds, but I remember when I started reading her blog (last summer, I believe), and I was just amazed at how grateful she was that God has placed this man into her life. Sounds kind of familiar.

The last blog, Honey and Salt, was found randomly (like many other blogs that I follow). I think it was that little write-up below her 'about me' blurb that pulled me in.

There's one final Final blog that I'm loving this week. I JUST found this last blog today (2-6-2011). Yea, I sometimes write my blog posts way ahead of time b/c blogger has this handy scheduler thing under the post options. Anyhoo... The Blissfully Blessed Wife's blog was featured on DSW 's facebook page this morning. The name of her blog was enough to get me wanting to visit her page. I like what I have seen so far. I definitely hit the "follow" button within the first 5 minutes of perusing through her blog and reading the about me section.

Check them out.

Things I Love Thursday

I've seen "Things I love Thursday" as a feature on many blogs (including this one) that I read and thought I would like to take part in it. I often find some really cute things online that I'd like to share with my closest of friends, just because, but I'm sure it can be tiring for them to get these messages with random links from me, so I've decided to share those things here. This week I love frills & tiers, afro-textured hair, as well as simple, yet beautiful photography...
