Mixed Tape

Travis and I like to make mixes for each other from time to time. For me, it gives me a feeling that the person I love took some time and handpicked some songs just for me, either because they are relevant to our lives in some way or because he just thought it would be something I would like. I pop in the cd or listen to it at work on my iPod with a little bit more joy than when I listen to any other playlist. For him, I think it might be a little bit of that too, but it is also more songs! See, he is a bit of a song monger. Anyways, we indulge each other with this pleasantry and we both get enjoyment out of making and receiving the mixes. Anyways, I thought I would share the last mix I gave him so here we go:
