My dearest friend : Ashley Cauthen
(this is her below, what a doll!)
Ash, has the cutest little blog called “Have Heart“. (follow her)

I am constantly reading her posts,
and the other day i saw that she had a post called “What’s In My Bag”.
… and then I decided the opportunity was too good to pass up.
So here i am to play along!
WHAT’S IN MY BAG:
This bag came from a store in Canada called Winners. Which is basically the same type of store as TJMaxx or Marshalls. I love a great big bag… but often with this bag… i feel as if i am loosing things in it’s vastness. 
What’s In My Bag :
* One black Samsung digital camera, i received as a christmas gift from my parents 3 years ago.
* My set of keys complete with one “I Heart Canada” keychain… purchased in the airport on my first visit to Canada. Christmas 2008.

* My Target Wallet. Usually stuffed full with receipts and change… oh brother.
* My 20GB Hard Drive.
* Dr. Teals Vanilla Hand Cream. (This stuff is amazing!)
* My favourite Lancome black smudge eyeliner.
* Berry Hand Sanitizer. (i’m an addict)
* M.A.C. “Warm Smile” Lip Balm SPF 12 
* Rimmel Watermelon Lip Gloss
* Bick Lighter (just incase i ever get stranded and need to start a fire… what? i like to be prepared)
* One Ballpoint Pen, One Black Sharpie, and One Blue Sharpie.

(500) Days of…
January 16, 2010
Movies like this make me miss driving on fall nights in my huge old car w/ the perfect musical soundtrack.
***
I have this great memory of when Dean and I first started dating……
Being a musician, I have been obsessed with great songs and pairing them with other great songs…. in just the perfect way….. to make the perfect playlist for that moment.
It was Fall 2008 and Dean was soon to leave on a tour and so I made him the“Perfect Mixtape” playlist of songs to listen to while he was away
……….entitled “Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours”.
I drove down the freeway from my house with the heat up and the radio on high. I believe I was listening to Copeland…. a usual for my driving routines. I remember feeling so giddy for the night ahead… the night of sharing the best music I could possibly find to convey the way I felt.
I was beaming…
I arrived at Dean’s and he jumped into the car and we were off on ouradventure.
We drove into the night, our hands intertwined, and our hearts racing.
I began driving.
I pressed PLAY.
…and just like that music filled the air inside the 1989 Ford Crown Victoria. The sounds soared through our ears, and lingered on our hearts as we watched the city fly past us in the reflection of it on our windows. I drove for over an hour through back roads and hills, through my favourite streets and past my favourite town sights. Though barely a word was spoken, we were saying everything that needed to be said.
I believe, great songs are a form of unspoken communication.
The playlist played it’s last song and we sat in the moment for a few minutes. Silently soaking in the atmosphere, our hands clasped tighter then before. Slow motion, or so it seemed, a sweet goodnight kiss he gave me …… and there it was…. one of those moments where i knew i was in love.
In the history of Dean and I, this night is one of our favourites to think back on. It was just all the right elements, at the right time, all combining to make a perfect memory.
(contributing to the perfect love )
