Music is a big part of my life. Actually, a big part of the Behunin Family's life. Not only is music on in the car when we drive, it isn't the usual SLC radio stations. We are either listening to satellite radio, or an iPod. For the next few weeks, I am going to be using an idea from another blogger. Clever Girl Goes Blog, Tia, did a post about a week ago that gave us the "Mixtape" from the soundtrack that is her life. I think it is a great idea...but there are sooo many songs that remind me of sooo many things, I am a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of choosing just 10-12 songs. (I should just copy Katie, and do a Top 10 song list made up of songs taken from another Top 100 song list. That would be so much easier.) I'm going to give you my soundtrack three songs at a time. Doing so will give me time to think, and to give you more perfect song titles. Here I go: I'm starting with the songs that remind me of the top 3 people in my life: Seth, Colin and Lillian. 1. Spend a Lifetime: Jamiroquai- This is the song that goes through my head when I think about Seth. Not only was it on a mixed tape he made me when we were dating, but it was on the video of pictures that was made to be played at our wedding reception. 2. Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) :Dixie Chicks- The CD Home came out the year I was pregnant with Colin. It is my favorite Dixie Chicks CD to date, and Godspeed was the "lullaby" I memorized to sing to my unborn child. The lyrics fit any little boy very well, and even though I don't sing it anymore, Seth was kind enough to put it on the CD he made for Colin when we found out he was a boy. 3. Upside Down: Jack Johnson- The movie Curious George was popular when I found out I was pregnant with Lillian. While this song was playing on the radio (for the umpteenth time) Lilly would "dance" around as if she really enjoyed it, making my stomach do flip flops. I vowed to get the CD for her....still haven't done it, but at least we have the DVD to make up for that. So that is the start of the "Mixed Tape" of my life. I'll try to come up with three more for next week...if I can't do it....just bear with me!

How sweet he made you a mixed tape while you were dating, how 80's of him. Did Janice say she loved Chandler after one of the songs? I had to put this comment in before I read any further.
LOL! Fortunately it didn't have Janice's voice on any part of the tape. We have since moved on to "Mixed CD's". Seth found the same songs that were on the tape and put them on 2 CD's,although I only have one side...hmmm....I need to fix that.
Those are great stories. I love how music can transport you to another time and place.
Brilliant! I love stealing from others! Especially if they have good stuff. Yours is so good that I may steal from you!
