"Breathe Me In": Jared & The Mill

So the last few weeks have been a blur of days, ending with me thinking, "so what exactly did I get done today?" Needless to say, work has been INSANE, but my mom lovingly refers to my "busyness" as job security. She makes a fabulous point, and I certainly cannot complain about a job that I truly love.

So, as I have been staring at a computer screen, killing tons of trees (sending tons of tool kits to our teachers and students across the country), and trying to simply stay sane, I have been listening to a lot of music. 

I was fortunate enough to travel to Michigan last weekend for Wedding Reception #2 for Wedding #1 this summer. My trek to the Midwest was essentially nothing but perfection: close friends, their welcoming family, card games, action movies, yummy food, and tons of wine. 

During our long drives to and from the airport, my friends reminded me of Jared & The Mill. (I love their video above.) They are an AZ band that has really started to take off. They remind me a bit of Mumford, but mostly, I just love their lyrics and idea that I can support someone local. Plus, there's nothing better than finding a new source of tunes.

So as my mind turns to jello during long days at the office, Jared & The Mill is playing in the background. (There's some good news if you enjoy them as much as I do. 

Fingers crossed I can make this posting thing a more regular occurrence in the weeks to come...
