Tuesday Tunes ~ Some Nights- Glee Style

I am a Gleek.  I admit it.  I didn't watch from the beginning, but over Christmas break of the second season I got caught up and I haven't missed one since.  The Thanksgiving episode featured a New Directions cover of Some Nights by Fun. and it was awesome.  Below you can see if for yourself.  And today you can buy the new soundtrack for Season 4- Glee: The Music - Season 4 Vol 1 which also includes their version of Gangnam Style.  Yes, you heard me.  Gangnam Style.  Yeah, we used to be cool.

My Wife :)

My part to this blog is my opinion and yes I usually have one.  I have been trying to decide which topic I want to write about.  I have a strong opinion about the drop off at the middle school and I could easily write about the election or hunting or soccer or a number of things.  But today I want write about my wife, Stacy.
As you know if you are reading this we combined our blogs a while back and we got away from it for a while but she has been back at it so I need to do my part. Anyway, I have decided to write about my wife because she deserves to have good things said about her and she deserves it coming from me where everyone can hear.
So let me start by saying Stacy is a unique person in the fact that she works an hour away from home and still leads Jayden’s Girl Scout troop and is a co-leader for Ryann’s troop, not to mention the different websites and newsletters she does for the schools and church etc.  Oh yea, she sells Thirty-One and blogs and keeps our family going.  So maybe saying she is unique is not the right way to say it, maybe I should say she is amazing. 
If you are any kind of friend to Stacy you know she is constantly battling depression and anxiety, and if you are a true fried you know that she does not always win that battle and she needs us to pick her back up.  However, as I have already said she is still amazing because she can do all that she does while she is battling. 
If you are a friend you also know that she has a heart of gold and would do anything she could to help a friend and not think twice about it.  She has never second guessed helping anyone in any situation. She does, on the other hand, second guess asking for help or relying on her friends to help us with things like the girls. She does not want to take advantage of people and has a hard time asking for help.  In my opinion that just shows how much she wants to be involved in everything our girls do.
It is my opinion this woman, my wife, is one amazing person.  With the drive and the hours she has to work anyone would get a little stressed at times, but then you have to look at all the volunteering she does, and all she does for her family and friends. With that being said I don’t know how anyone could disagree.
Most people know that I am a very proud father, I have two beautiful girls and I could not be more proud of the things they do.  However, I would not have these girls if it weren’t for Stacy, so now I want everyone to know that I am very proud of my wife for all she does.  Hell, I am proud of her for putting up with me.  I also want everyone to know that I could not love her any more then I already do.  Stacy is the most amazing person I know and I want everyone to know that!!!  I would not be the person I am today without her. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Stacy, I love you!!!

Tuesday Tunes ~ Little Lion Man

During a month of sharing what we're thankful for I want to state that I am thankful for Spotify.

Spotify has allowed me to listen to music in it's entirety without buying it, and it gives me a chance to hear some tracks I wouldn't normally get to hear.  It also give me a chance to pile up on whatever I'm in the mood for at any given time.

In the last year I have fallen head over heels for Mumford & Sons, and today's Tuesday Tunes (on Wednesday, no less) is one of my favorites.  From the harmony to the variety of instrument sounds blending together I get goose bumps every time I hear it.  I think you will too.
