There is a song stuck in my head!

It's been a couple of weeks since an update! Haven't really done any more "prep" for the trip other than getting more and more excited by the day! Today it was nearly 90 degrees here in Columbia and it gave me a little taste of summer! I'm busy here lately with new responsibilities at work, I'm in a wedding this weekend, and every spare second I have I spend outside in the sun trying to get a tan! :) Also, hit the gym today for the first time in a month. I've just been walking/jogging outside, but I believe me and the elliptical are going to become reacquainted from now until when I leave!

Anyways, the reason for the post is to post a list of the song and artist I constantly have stuck in my head! I listen to the radio at work because I have to drown out the typing, talking, coughing, sneezing, printer, copier, etc. I listen to Nashville 11 which is a Sirius/XM station but also on iheartradio.com. They are great! They play new artist and songs not played on the typical country stations! I listen to it in the car too! I'm addicted, but it's my escape. So here is the list in no particular order, and most of the artist and songs can be found on youtube. I will more than likely post some lyrics at some point, but I'm tired of carrying random pieces of paper around with these songs on them, so I wanted to get them down on something that couldn't get tossed in the trash! :)

SONGS IN MY HEAD
Jake Owen-Barefoot Blue Jean Night
Luke Bryan- Country Girl (Shake it for Me)
Eric Church- Homeboy
Tobacco Rd- Stiff Drink
Georgia- Richer
Lowcash Cowboys- Keep In Mind
Ashley Gearing- 5 More Minutes
Josh Kelly- Baby Blue Eyes, Learning You, Naleigh Moon, 2 Cups of Coffee
JB & the Moonshine Band- I'm broke
Eli Young Band-Crazy Girl, Radio Waves, Guinevere
Stealing Angels-Girls Gotcha Back, Paper Heart
Thompson Square- Glass
JaneDear Girls- Shotgun Girl
Rascal Flatts- Red Camero
Brad Wolf- I Make a Difference (it's about a teacher so teacher friends find the lyrics!)
Randy Houser- In Gods Time
Sarah Turner- Youngstown
Keith Urban-Without You
Taylor Swift-Beautiful Eyes
Frankie Ballard- Buncha Girls
Doug McCormick-Watch Your Mouth
Brantly Gilbert- My Kinda Crazy
Blue Broussard Band- Dance Alone
Outshyne-Country Boy in Me
Mark Cooke-I Love It
Brad Paisley- Old Alabama
Josh Abbott Band- Oh, Tonight

Yep, long list. But these are some of my current favorite songs. LOVE when they come on the radio, I can turn it up and belt it out (well when I'm in the car atleast! :) )
