1. "Hey Brother" by Avicii

This song made the list because I have personally devoted it to my two precious brothers. If you have ever listened to this song, you could see why. It is a very touching song, and I love it.

2. "Beer For My Horses" by Toby Keith

HAHA, this song is one of those that takes me back to my childhood...and honestly, I couldn't tell you why. I vaguely remember this one time I and my cousin Baylee sang this and the next song in my living room when we were little. Honestly, don't ask. I really don't even know.

3. "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

This one was MY ANTHEM as a little girl. I know for a 100% fact that every time this song would play it was a full-on concert by me featuring me. Also, I'm pretty sure Baylee and I performed this in my living room too.

4. "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

I will never not love this song. This was and still is mine and my aunt's song. She played this song for little baby me a long, long time ago and it has been ours ever since. I love you Manda!

5. "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon

I used to watch 'The Wild Thornberry's' religiously, and on one of the movies, this song plays. My dad used to lay down with me every night and we would either watch that or Fear Factor. This song has always had a very special place in my heart.

6. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert

I have a "house that built me". It was first my dad's parents house, then my parent's house. That house was in our family for years and years. All of my cousins that I was closest to live just a short walk or bike ride away. That house surely built me, and I will forever cherish the memories made there.

7. "Airstream Song" by Miranda Lambert


Okay, this one is on here because there is a camper business in my family, but most importantly it's on here because I was a true gypsy in another life. Just saying.

8. "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney

My mom and I would JAM to this on the daily. Kenny Chesney was our favorite guy!

9. "Boondocks" by Little Big Town

This song just reminds me of my childhood, and where I grew up. Riding bikes and playing in the mud with my cousins was kinda the highlight of my life.

10. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver

I have West by God Virginia in my blood. This song takes me home every time. Most of my heart remains in West Virginia with some of my all-time favorite people in the world.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is my life summed up in ten songs!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
