Oh Happy Day.

Today was crazy and wonderful.

It was absolutely beautiful, warm and wonderful outside. The sky was super blue. I went on a walk with the Beyer family (my fake family) and the dogs (Charlie and Max).

I made Clara a birthday cake and cupcakes to bring to our show. I made it all by myself and it turned out wonderfully! Delicious.

We tried to pick Billy up from the airport and we got lost...because our exit was closed. And we didn't know what to do. Ugh. And hour and a half later, we got Billy from the airport.

Then, we rushed home, packed up our sound equipment, and rushed off to Murfreesboro for our show. It went super well! Billy, our producer, came. It was a blast. And....best part...My family came! We gave Clara her birthday gifts before the show started, and sang to her and everything. It was just a wonderful night.

Now, I am spending quality time with Bryce, Ethan, Laine, Chris, and Anna. All my favorite people. How happy.

I'm sleepy. And I can't wait to see my family more tomorrow. And I'm excited for our week in the studio. I think I'm just happy right now. Super tired, but really happy. Thanks you Lord for a wonderful day!

Preview

So far, it's been a really nice day. Although things are really tough deep down, I am enjoying this lovely Friday.

Today is my fake mom's birthday - Anna and I live with a family here in Tennessee, so we have a mom here too! - Her mother is in town this week as well. So, the three of us went out to eat for lunch at the Mercantile in downtown Franklin. It's a really cute little place with pretty great food. Then, we went to Meridee's and bought a couple DELICIOUS pastries. Mmm. After eating so much amazingness, we went to Harris Teeter and did some grocery shopping. Fun, fun, fun! It's been a day centered around food... But it's ok! It makes us happy and keeps us alive! What could be better? (Just remember that...haha) Three generations of women spending quality time together, and eating! :) Happy Birthday Natalie! *my fake mom*

Here's a little preview of my week to come...

Tonight: We are having a big birthday dinner for Natalie with the whole fam! It's going to be delicious and fun. Exciting!

Tomorrow: I am picking Billy up from the airport around two. Anna and I have a show at JoZoara's in Murfreesboro, TN at 7pm. My family is going to meet us there!! I'm so excited to see them. And it's Clara's birthday! Good day.

Monday-?: More time in the studio! It's the last week of recording for Anna and I. Then, we are done! The album just has to be mixed and it's all finished! Wahoo! If you want to hear our progress so far, just check out some of the music at Anna's myspace. Enjoy!

Yay. Thank you Lord for all the good things you have put in my life. :)

A Little Shorter?

Today I decided that I'm going to write more often...just less. Haha! For awhile, I was so excited about eveything that I had soo much to write! I still have lots. But, because it's not as new and exciting, I have less motivation to write as much. I don't even know if anyone reads this. But, I will write it anyway. :)

Lately, I've been doing lots of reading and I love it. I've been getting back into regular practicing too (my violin)! It's really nice to have the time to be able to do that.

My family is coming to visit Anna and I in Nashville on Saturday! They are going to be here for the week....and guess what? It's my little sister, Clara's birthday on Saturday! How wonderful. She's going to be 13 years old - officially a teenager. Crazy. But I love her anyway. Haha!

Things have been pretty tough lately, but God is faithful. I just have to trust Him with control! Sometimes that's really hard for me...ugh. But, with His help, I can do it! :)

My blog is probably too long already, so I'll stop. Oh! One more thing!

A couple days ago, I went grocery shopping with the family that I live with,and my "mom" bought me mashed potatoes that are already made! It's amazing! Mashed potatoes are my absolute favorite food, so this was great. I ate some of them today with some ham. What a delicious meal! Mmm.

Ok...good night y'all! (Just kidding...I'm from Wisconsin. Hehe.)
