The First Day of the Rest of My Life

Wow it's been a busy month and a half, I guess that's how long it's been, but now it's time for some catch up. To start out for those who don't know I did not end up auditioning for American Idol. Instead I met Micheal Blanton. He is an artist production manager (for artist such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Sixpense None the Richer, etc.) We were already planning to meet with him before we went to Nashville but we weren't sure anything was going to come of it. We met him for lunch at California Pizza Kitchen in Green Hills Tennessee. We talked and talked for hours at California Pizza Kitchen, met Keith Thomas and I played for him, drove around, took a break at Starbucks (Yum ha ha), and met his wife at his house. And somewhere in the middle of this dream of a day we decided to work with Michael, move to Nashville, and jump into the beginnings of my musical career. Isn't it great! I know it took awhile for me to believe as well, I still feel like I just floated through that day. After all this, to celebrate my mom and I went back to the hotel, called some friends and family members and crashed. Fulfilling your dreams can be very VERY exhausting ha ha. It probably had a lot to do with all the jumping, screaming, laughing, and crying we did :)
Well after an amazing weekend with Mr. Blanton (we met a few more times) we went back to Oklahoma sat around for a week being bored, packed for another week, and FINALLY headed to Nashville with no house awaiting us and a moving truck full of what used to be our house. But God was helping us out and instead of a few weeks of searching for houses, it took my parents a day. Yes you read it right one single day. We moved into our beautiful new HOME (the next day might I add) in Thompson Station Tennessee. It is beautiful and the people are over the top nice, but in a good way. I love it here and will definitely be here for awhile :) If not my whole life. Now it's time to jump into my music and, for now, take it one day at a time even though I am so excited I can barely hold it all in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha I am going to try to update the blog once a week but forgive me if I don't because it may mean I have nothing exciting to tell you. I might just take the boring things I did that week and spice it up :) Unless it's too boring :)Thank you all for your support!!!!
