Music Mix-Up Mondays #34

Hey All! So these past few days have been really hard, as I've had something unexpected happen in my life. It was a shock, and it's been really hard and sad. No, no one died or anything. :) But it still hurts and is sad. And yesterday, my mother showed me this hysterical video that I thought I'd share. If you haven't heard of the movie Frozen yet, then you really must be living under a rock or in the forest. :) This is the song, "Let it Go," sung by a young man doing many favorite and beloved Disny & Pixar voices. Enjoy!
Which character was your favorite? I really like Winnie the Pooh. Or Goofy. :) I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did, and it brought a smile to your day! :) In His Love, Christy

Music Mix-up Post 30 (Ellerslie Post 8)

    One of the things that has been really fun that we've done here is a reading aloud of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe."  They have never done it before, and it was a HUGE hit!  I didn't want it to end, but C.S. Lewis didn't read my mind. :)
    Anyway, I loved this song from the second movie: "Prince Caspian," so I thought I'd share that this week.  So, may I present, "The Call," by Regina Spektor.





I hope you all enjoy this song, and next time, hopefully, I'll play some Christmas music! :)  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Music Mix-up Post 25

Last night my father, two of my sisters, and I finished watching The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.  And, as usual, I cried my way through the final hour of Return of the King.  TLORT has some of the most amazing music, and I thought I'd share the ending song with y'all.  (I know, this post is a few days delayed, but life has been crazy lately.  I do apologize, though.)
   Anyway, may I present: Into the West by Annie Lennox....





This is probably one of my favorite songs from this movie... it so haunting & tragically beautiful..... Most of the words are taken from a scene with Gandalf & Pippin are waiting for the enemy to attack another level of Minas Tirith. (just in case any of you were wondering. :D )

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (UBC #24)

  It is said that some lives are linked across time.
     Connected by an ancient calling that echoes through the ages.
                         Destiny

The opening lines to one of my favorite movies.  Granted, I hide when the snakes come out, and cry when Garsiv dies. Oh, and Seso too.  Giving up their lives to do the right thing.  (Yes, I know - it's only a movie!  But still...)
   Anyway, I just finished watching this movie with my sister Annie tonight.  I hadn't watched it since it was in theaters last year, and didn't remember most of it.  Just the snakes. :)  I tried to put together a blog post or two while I watched it, but I just couldn't focus. (Did I mention that I thought that this movie is amazing??!?!?)
   My advice?  If you like action movies, than this one is just right for you!

Amazing? Yes! (UBC #10)

I was checking my facebook today, and came across this video that I just had to share with y'all!  I am a huge fan of Sound of Music, so this was really awesome to see!




And would you believe they only practiced twice??!??!?  I wish I had talent like that! :)  Have a great day!

Transformers 3 (UBC #5)

Okay, I'm just going to come out and admit it.... I'm a bit of a nerd/geek.  I am a huge fan of the Transformer movies (second one not so much but it was still cool) and so I just had to share this info with y'all.  My church had a float in the local parade for the 4th, and I signed up to walk in it.  Boy, was it fun! One of the really cool things was seeing this vehicle at the line-up for the float.

You can't really tell, but if you look at the door, you can see the Transformer symbol on it.  This fire truck was built locally and used in the film Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon.  And to think that I got to stand next to this truck!! :)  I wish I had a picture of that, but I didn't bring anything with me to walk in the parade - didn't want to worry about losing it or carrying it for the whole time. :(  But just to give y'all an idea about how big it was, I wasn't much taller than the tire!  If you want to read more about it, you can go to this page where there is an article and a news video interview.
