Hallelujah, It's Vacation Time!

I mentioned one of the songs that makes me cry, "Hallelujah," recently here in response to a meme question. The very next day, Matthew Schuler sang it on The Voice. OMG. One of the best renditions ever...



And I am officially on vacation for the next week. WOOO-freakin-HOOO!
