The AMERICAN IDOL Experience

Wow!! American Idol was such a fun experience. It was nothing at all like I expected. My mom of course flew in at 11 on Wednesday night after being in Vegas for my little brothers baseball camp! She teaches us to dream big obviously :). She didn't want to miss a thing, I love her so much! We went to Bridgestone Arena at 10 the next morning and got our wristband and tickets. Then at 7 a.m. on Saturday we were back downtown for the audition. You wouldn't have believed all the people! 16,000 people were at the auditions!!! They start out by taping promotional shots and giving you all the directions you need. Then the auditions begin and everyone was practicing in their seats, in the bathrooms and in the hallways. It was so cool. They announce right before auditions start that the first round of auditions has nothing to do with talent, it has everything to do with casting for a TV show... so that explains "pants on the ground man". It was such a fun experience but when you are auditioning against 16,000 not everyone is going to get picked. So I wasn't that discouraged when I didn't get my yellow ticket. I watched them hand out maybe 20 yellow tickets, so they are given few and far between! So I won't be going to Hollywood this year, but possibly in the future :)

New Month

Well I am finally back in Nashville and will actually be here for a while! I never thought it would feel good to put my suitcases away and know they don't have to be back out next week! I am really starting to embrace this beautiful place and all the amazing people in it! I always knew it was the right place for me! I knew the first day I stepped off the airplane at 15 and drove past the Grand Ole Opry and balled my eyes out! It is still unbelievable that I am actually here now! I LOVE IT!

YAH!!! 2010

Wow, I cannot believe all the Holidays are over, they went by so fast and I hate that there over! I absolutely love Christmas. We had a great Christmas as a family in Wyoming, it snowed like crazy so we stayed an extra day. I have never seen so much snow in my life, it was so beautiful! I love snow and winter! We got to spend a whole day playing cards and telling stories. There is something about my Grandparents house, you just feel love and warmth its by far one of my favorite places in the world. I was back home for New Years and I got to spend midnight with my very best friend ever which I loved! This last week I am home I will just be enjoying time with my family and friends and my amazing little dogs Soda Pop and Rowdy! I miss them so much when I am away in Nashville, I can't wait to be back and keep working! I am so excited to write some really great songs next week! How was everybody's holiday??
