Carrie Underwood singing How Great Thou Art

This. THIS! Instant happiness once you hit the verse after the guitar solo in the middle. Especially when they pan to the audience, her peers in the music industry, and they're shaking their heads in disbelief at such a phenomenal voice. One good thing to come out of reality TV. :)

Kate's MOH speech

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZbDpBFujno&feature=share

This makes me H-A-P-P-Y on a number of levels. First, my two younger sisters (twins) both got married this summer, Kate in July and Meg in September. I couldn't be happier for them -- they each married a wonderful guy who we're lucky to have join our family.

But down to business. Meg's maid-of-honor speech for Kate was awesome -- a very thoughtful and witty poem. Sadly, Meg's speech is not on Youtube. Fortunately, Kate's speech to Meg IS! Cutest thing ever. Enjoy.

Oh, and I'd like to add that I played a small yet vital role as Kate's music stand/moral support. It's not easy to play your accordion in front of almost 300 people. :)

When your blinker goes to the beat of the song on the radio

Has this ever happened to you? This rare but awesome phenomenon happens most often when you are alone in your car. You flip your blinker to turn, and between your random thoughts, you realize that you're nodding your head to the beat of your blinker. Wait a minute, no... the stars have aligned, and both your blinker AND your head are in sync with the beat of the song on radio. This most recently happened to me with the fun song "Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae, and it made me want to drive a little bit longer rocking out with my blinker on after the turn. :) But I didn't. I'll just have to wait for it to happen again someday.
