So I came across my old mp3 player from 2007 that has a ton of songs downloaded on it and I got it working! So I’ve been bringing it to work to listen to while I calm down at lunch and after school. I absolutely love it. There is something soothing about music and it also makes you feel so many emotions. I am really sentimental, so when I hear a song it reminds me of times in my life or people close to me.

These are some old school songs, but here are some I found on it:

Tim McGraw- Taylor Swift. This was way back when she first started and I would watch her reality on MTV when she was trying to make it big. Can you remember that?

Petey Pablo: Freak-A-Leak. Totally reminds me of Liesl and Hilary when we would go to parties and dance the night away! This used to be the ringtone on my phone.

Natasha Bedingfield: Unwritten. Back when I was obsessed with the Hills I would listen to this blasting in my car.

The Ataris: Boys of Summer. Reminds me of Kaycee when we would go DDR at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Beyonce: Irreplacable. Reminds me of when Michelle and I went to California and this song was constantly playing while we shopped with lindsey in the Fashion District. So fun.

Yellowcard: Way Away. Driving down the 101 from LA to San Diego. Awesome memory!

Jason Mraz: Remedy. Driving the backlots of Walt Disney World the summer I worked there and watching the fireworks from EPCOT in the sky.

Rob Thomas: Little Wonders. I just love that song!!!

Kanye West: Stronger. I would work out at the LVAC playing this while I was running. Such a good workout song.

Ingrid Michaelson: The Way I Am. Living at my dad’s house while I would drive through the senior retirement home neighborhood.

Diamond Rio: Imagine That. Senior Year. High School.

Samantha Mumba: Gotta Tell You. Back when boy bands were big and girl bands too and when the girls and I would go to every concert imaginable.

Avril Lavigne: Complicated. Introducing the number one video on TRL.

On Saturday, October 23, the crew set out to do a 12 hour relay mountain bike race in El Paso. Jonny, Kimball, Brad, Jared, Lisa, Paul, Mike and I showed up to race for five different teams. Jonny, Kimball, and Brad were on one team. Jared joined another four man team. Mike was on a Crazy Cat four man team. Lisa and I were on a four girl team. And Paul raced on a duo team.

Lots of racing!

Here is Brad warming up for a lap.

The most crazy part is trying to rest in between laps. I tried to chill but I got too ancy!! Here is Lisa and I waiting for our girls to come. Her team beat mine.
Still waiting!
