She loves music and will have different access to it and all media while she is there. So my mom and I came up with this idea for each member of our family that could to pick a theme/topic for a playlist and put together a bunch of songs around that theme/songs she would like. I decided to make Album Art for each of the lists to make it a little more visual and immediate. Initially, I was supposed to be able to see her one last time before she left and deliver the gift in person, but my mom was there and put all the images together, playlists, and the notes we each wrote her, into a little compact album. I think it hit the spot and I hope it cheers her and helps her over and over in the next year.
I thought I'd post the images here so my family could see how it all turned out.
I took this on our way to the San Antonio temple
I took this the first 4th of July we were married at Lake Powell. It's a sparkler.
This was submitted by my bro and his wife.
A picture I took on our "driveway" in TX(about 4 miles up a "mountain" to our house on the lake).

A friend of my oldest brother took this, it's of Idaho, these are wheel lines, and it's the closest thing I've found that captures the beauty of summer sunsets in the country.
I took on our way home from our first spring break as newlyweds,it's just a pretty field between Dallas and Austin.
Our "backyard" in Austin.So it turns out I only took cool pictures before I had kids ;-) And/or when I lived in TX.

That is so awesome! What a great idea! I'm really proud of Holli and I'm so glad that she's blogging her adventure! It will be so neat to be able to keep up with her that way. :)
Love it. The only thing is I wish I was your husband so I could be in the Album Art Photos. ha ha love ya marc!
This is such a great idea!! You can apply it to so many things .. leaving home for college .. having your first baby .. getting married! You could even do playlists for a mission, but those would all blend together. Ha!
Love the idea and hope to use it for something fabulous!
