This has probably been done before, but when I talked to DB he said he would love to get some mix CDs in his next package. I want to make some theme mix CD's. I'm going to do a 'rock' cd, 'club/rap music', 'encouraging/inspirational', and 'love/missing you'.

So far I can only think of a few for the love one...
1. Lenny Kravitz - I'll be waiting
2. Avril Lavigne - Gone
3. J Holiday - Bed

and for the encouragement one...
1. Toby Keith - American Soldier

and for the rock one just lots of Linkin Park, Staind, and similar bands that he likes...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks ladies!! :hugehug

oh and P.S. although I am a HUGE country fan, he just pretends to tolerate it :giggle I am going to include some country songs though because the lyrics are just so darn good! :D

:bump
