top ten || elvis songs

doing this post by request. thanks Felicity, for thinking of this post! thinking of my top ten Elvis songs was a lot harder than it should be, I guess I love a LOT of his songs! *shrugs* But here we go...

|1| Burning Love

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn to smoke
But I feel fine

|2| Suspicious Minds

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

|3| Follow That Dream

Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need

|4| Stuck on You

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue,
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

|5| Tomorrow Never Comes

Oh you tell me that you love me
Yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married, oh
But tomorrow's never there

|6| Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

|7| Return to Sender

I gave a letter to the postman
He put it his sack
Bright in early next morning
He brought my letter back

She wrote upon it
Return to sender, address unknown
No such number, no such zone

|8| Can't Help Falling in Love

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

|9| Love Me Tender

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

|10| My Way

yes, I am aware that this is Frank Sinatra song. don't hate me, but I like Elvis's version better *hides*

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

I love books. I love reading, but mostly I love books. It makes me to happy to see good books on my shelf. They're so aesthetically pleasing, and that smell. *dies*

||  R E C O R D S + T A P E S
(aka music)

I love my record collection (especially my Merle Haggard album and my Ricky Nelson albums). I love adding to my collection, and I love browsing a record shop. I could be there for hours. The sound of old tapes and records makes me feel all warm inside. And I simply love music in general. I pretty much always have music going everywhere I go. I love to sing along. If my phone battery is low it's usually because I've been playing music on it all day. *nods*

|| O L D   S H O W S

They just don't. make shows like they used to! I do like quite a few "new" shows, considering there's basically zero good ones. But they just aren't as good as they used to be. Nothing beats The Dick Van Dyke Show, Laramie, Charles in Charge, The Andy Griffith Show, Diagnosis Murder, Joanie Loves Chachi, Emergency!, The Virginian, Road to Avonlea, or The Walton's. *sigh* Oh, the good ole days when tv shows had theme songs.

|| S C R U N C H I E S

oh boy. I have so many scrunchies and I want moooorreeeeee!! I don't have any with bunny ears like pictured here, and I simply need them, ok??? xP

|| S T I C K E R S + W A S H I   T A P E
I couldn't find a picture I liked on the internet, but I really, really, love stickers. Stickers for my journal. Stickers for my planner. Stickers for my Smashbook. Or even vinyl stickers. I just love stickers.

|| P R E T T Y   S H O E S

I have a thing for shoes, especially saddle shoes (pictured), oxfords, and mary-janes. *all the hearts*

|| C O F F E E

Mmmmmmmm I drink too much coffee, folks *hides*

|| M O U N T A I N S

I might not be much of a hiker, as in I don't dream of hiking, but I do enjoy it when I do it. BUT I love the mountains. Just being there is enough for me <3 I guess it comes with being raised in the PNW xP

One day my sister, cousin, and I were texting just a bunch random things that make us extremely happy. Strange little things like potato salad. And I said braids. Specifically double braids. They were like, "what???" But think about it. Braids mean you're doing something that you need your hair out of your way for. Braids mean it's hot and you need your hair off your neck. Braids mean the mountains. The beach. Driving a four-wheeler. Riding around with all the windows down. Braids mean summer and good times xP

So that was way more than eight things, but I didn't know where to stop! xP Hope you enjoyed that!

I'm supposed to tag eight people, now. But I'll just tag two, and if anyone else wants to do this, feel free to say I tagged you!

Have fun, folks!!!

Independence Day || Twenty-Twenty {photo dump}

Heyyyyy!!!!!! 

I know, I didn't do a June Wrap-up. And, I know, I didn't do a July beautiful words (but I DID on Instagram: @walkinginthesonshine). Life has been... nuts. To say the least. So, I haven't really had anything to say to you guys.
BUT
I had a wonderful Fourth of July, and I wanted to share it with you! Like a blog post I used to do. Back in the day. Back when I first started blogging.
So. Let's pretend I'm sixteen again, and write this blog spot:

The morning of the fourth my sisters and I got up pretty early to get ready for a hike we were planning to go on with some cousins and the aunts. We met up at my cousin's in-laws house, then car-pooled to the mountains. Since it was only us girls going, we didn't have any vehicles that could make it all the way to the parking lot, so we had to start at a lower trail-head - which I had no idea was even a thing xP

This is a hike that I hadn't done since Felicity and Josiah were dating, and that time it took me, like, six hours (I have to rest a lot *hides*), so I was afraid it would take me a long time, but we made pretty good time, considering.

It was a cloudy morning, so we were in the clouds most the time and didn't get to see the view, but it was still a VERY PRETTY hike. <3 And I got to pick wildflowers, which was something on my summer bucket list. May be a strange thing to put on a summer bucket list but whatever *shrugs*

At the top ^^^^ where we ate lunch

After that hike, I was deeeaaaadddd *laughs* we went back to where we had left our car and went home, to get ready for the evening gathering at my aunt and uncle's. On the way home we stopped at a coffee shop and I got a Triple Chocolate Milkshake with an espresso shot. SOOO GOOD. Idk why I didn't take a picture of that... or my car. Because we had decorated my car and filled the back seat with balloons and flags <33333

I ended up having to take some advil, I was THAT sore from hiking. I couldn't even stand! But, by the time we headed to my aunt and uncle's I was feeling a lot better.

It was a lovely gathering, with great food, and some pretty cool fireworks. <3

By the time we left the gathering it was 11-ish. We drove down to the town and drove around there for a bit, where pretty much EVERYONE was setting off fireworks. Rolls the windows down and listened to them, as well as watched. It was so cool.

And that was the end of an amazing Independence Day!

How was YOURS!? What did you do!? Also, how have you been? I life has been crazy for a lot of people!
