I can finally see, that you're right there beside me
I am not my own, for I have been made new
Please don't let me go, I desperately need you
Despite being short, I think Meteor Shower is one of my favorite Owl City songs. It's amazing how just 30 words get me to stop, slow down and realize how much God has done in my life...and how much I need Him.
I've been listening to Owl City's newest album, All Things Bright & Beautiful, on Spotify recently. So far my favorite song is Angels, although there are definitely some other fun tracks, too. I'm excited to continue to become more familiar with them. I still really like the Ocean Eyes album also. My favorite songs? (Well, besides Meteor Shower) Vanilla Twilight and Fireflies.

Snow, Penguins and Chimpanzees
I really want it to snow again. It doesn't look like it's going to anytime soon, but it's so much fun when it snows around here. Everything shuts down. Everyone's happy. Plus it's so pretty! It snowed a couple of weeks ago for just a few hours (it melted by morning). I was able to take these pictures:
I think one of the reasons I like the snow so much is that everyone else gets excited about it, too. As much as I love the rain, I'm usually the only one excited about it. Like this penguin:
But with snow, I'm not the only one getting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather :)
In other news, I recently crossed over to the dark side. We bought a MacBook Pro. I have a tendency to kill computers. Every 2-3 years the computer I use needs to be replaced for various reasons. I have no idea why I kill them and what I do that makes them die, but they do. About a year ago I started using Matt's desktop and it's been making odd sounds recently, getting the blue screen of death, etc. So we decided to see if a Mac would last any longer. Obviously it's taken a little bit of time to get used to, but I really like it. I can see how someone that likes the flexibility of a PC might not like it, but since my main functions of a computer include checking email, Facebook and blogging (well, and writing pitches, etc for work), all that flexibility isn't completely necessary. At this point there isn't anything I've wanted to do that I haven't been able to do...so that's good, right?
Now that we got a new computer it seemed like a good time to upload our CDs to our iPod, so I've had fun going through CDs over the past couple of weeks. I'd completely forgotten I had some of these songs, and I'd never really taken the time to go through Matt's music. I have a couple of new favorites, like:

Postcards and chimps! Who wouldn't like that song? Anyway...here are a couple more artsy pictures I've taken recently that I felt like sharing:
