Hellooooo! Alright, so I wanna make this fast because as always, I'm lazy and I just wanna get this done. I'm also sitting at Heather's family's house watching the Macy's parade...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THANKSGIVING!
Alright, so what have I done lately? Uhmmmmmmmmmmmm the day before Halloween, we all went to 12th and Porter to see our friends in Half Priced Hearts play a show. It was a benefit show and a dress up show of course, so we all dressed up as something fun. I was a unicorn...naturally. I don't think any of us have pictures from it just because we were all kind of rushed that night, for various reasons, BUT I do have pictures of my boys. They all thought it would be funny to dress up in full body morph suits. It was funny, but according to them, it was only a good time for about the first song. Here, check out some pictures. (side note: the professional looking pictures were not taken by me, obviously. They were taken by another Nashville acquaintance, Caroline Haag. Take a loooooook! :)
Aren't they fun?

Here is also a video from the night. These guys are some of my best friends here, and I'm just so blessed to have these dudes around and looking out for me.
One of the coolest things I have done thus far, as well as just in general, is go to the Opryland hotel and look at all the Christmas lights that they have up. I couldn't wait to see it all because I had heard so much about it, and it was AMAZING. Seriously though, I was and still am in love with it. I'm pretty sure they stay up for quite some time, so I am going back for sure!!! Check out some pics...
Rob and I
This whole tree was made of poinsettias
Christmas treeeeee!!!
Normal
SO amazing
I was actually the happiest person in the world
Happy happy happyyyyyy
Well guys, that's really it for now I guess. I'm having a great time here. I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving. I'm so glad that I have a family to go to here with Heather (in Alabama). We drove here after work (at 1am) and got here around 3am. We're all hanging out watching the parade and prepping for the dog show right now, and we'll probably eat around 2. After dinner and pie, we gotta head back and take a quick nap before heading back to the mall again to work black friday. :( NOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT AT ALL! I have to work midnight to 8am at bath and body works, and then have a gap where I'll nap in the car with Heather, and then I have to be over at gymboree and work until closing. NOTHING about this is exciting. Maybe extra money...but that's it...
HEY GUYS I AM WRITING IN THE BIGGEST FONT I CAN BECAUSE IT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE I WROTE A LOT EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T! I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM THE BIGGEST PROCRASTINATOR EVER WHEN IT COMES TO THIS BLOG. BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT MY INTERNET AT HOME SUCKS AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND STEAL IT BETTER FROM THEM YET. SO HERE I AM...BLOGGING ABOUT MY PROCRASTINATION. LONG STORY SHORT, I'M ALIVE. I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SOME PICTURES OF THINGS I HAVE BEEN DOING... (HALLOWEEN SHOWS AND OTHER STUFF IN BETWEEN) I AM SPENDING THANKSGIVING AT HEATHER'S WITH HER FAMILY, WHICH I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT, SO MAYBE WHEN I AM AT HER HOUSE I WILL UPDATE IN DETAIL AND TRY TO ATTACH SOME MORE PICTURES. OK...THIS IS ALL. I WANNA COME HOME. NO I DON'T....I JUST MISS MY DOG. SOMEONE GO LOVE ON RUSTY FOR ME. ....I GUESS I MISS YOU ALL TOO.... XOXO, AUDREY
Hey guys! I feel like it has been a while since I posted last (it hasn't really been though, ok whatever) sooooo what have I been up to now? Well, work is going great. Gymboree is just what it is I guess. It's fine. But after I work gymboree, I hop over to bath and body, and I seriously LOVE that job. It's the most fun I have had at a job in a long time. I work with really great and funny people, as well as getting equally great and funny customers. And again, all the free stuff I get isn't too shabby!
Here I am being a really hard worker. ;) I have a headset, so I mean...I'm pretty official.
THURSDAY WAS MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!
Oh my goodness, that was a really great time. The night before, we went to Applebees for ladies' night like always. We still love going there more than anything, and have become even better friends with the waiting staff that we already love. (Vernon, Kaylee, and Mason). In faaact, we have become good enough friends now that we have been invited out with them in a couple weeks to go to a haunted woods. I am really really excited about that because they're great people, like I said, and I am just excited to grow new friendships with all of them.
The next day, I worked in the afternoon. After I got home that evening, my friends Hannah and Ashley (that I talked about a few post back) came from Kentucky again and we all went out to Satco again. Seriously the cheapest and best tacos, fajitas, and queso ever. I had an amazing time with them and Robin there, and laughed the hardest I have in a long time. After tacos, we were on the hunt to find a cookie cake, since I have ever had one before. And to get some drinks since I am finally legal to buy it. ;) We spent the rest of the night just hanging out and laughing and what not together. Good good good times!
The best present I think I got though was from my friend and neighbor, Heather. She surprised us all with tickets to Ed Sheeran in January at the Ryman. I have never been so excited in my life! All of our birthdays and Christmas are all really close to each other, so she thought it would be a perfect gift. Uhmmmm BEST GIFT EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!! For those who have never listened to Ed Sheeran before, 1. You are in the wrong 2. Do it now 3. He is British 4. He's the best songwriter of our generation right now, hands down. 5. Seriously though.....go listen
I wanna take the time real quick though to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, sent me stuff, is still sending me stuff, and just showed me love on my birthday. I was overwhelmed all day with the amount of love and reminders of all the great people I have in my life, not only here, but back at home. It really made me miss everyone!
Since then, I have just been doing the normal day in and day out. Of course we have occasional nights out and shows to see some friends, but everything is still pretty steady and I'm just here livin' life! I have a few more random pictures I'll share. There aren't any major stories behind them, just some fun times for you guys to see what I did in the past week or whatever.
This is the cake that Robin made me. You can't really tell (or you can...) but it was AWFUL. We laughed so so so hard about it though. She waited 0 minutes to take it out of the pan that I'm pretty sure wasn't even greased, so the whole cake in general is made up of cake pieces and crumbs. She then tried to glue it back together with a whole jar of frosting. Speaking of glue, that's exactly what that frosting tasted like. Again, the cake was still hot, so it was melting and sliding off the sides. And then of course you can't have a birthday cake without sprinkles.......the cake was crunchy because of it. So yeah...this cake is still currently sitting on our counter for whoever gets hungry enough to take a bite.
This picture is from about a week ago. While Robin was outside, she found a dog. We brought him in, dried him off, played with him a little bit, and sent him back outside. It was fun while it lasted....
This is my other roommate, Jessica, and I. This picture is the best representation of our relationship.
These are my pals in the band Farewell Fighter. This was just from today; they were rockin out at the converse store. Fun little intermission to take in between work shifts. :) That's all for now! I am tired....it's past midnight...not like this is anything out of the ordinary for me, but whatever. ;) As always, I miss you all and I love you. Talk to you again in a couple weeks! xoxo, Audrey
So I think that last time I posted, I was excited about the two jobs I have? I've finally worked them both and so I thought I would share about those! (I know, these post are starting to get super boring because I'm starting to get settled and don't really do a whole lot right now)
So gymboree is cool. I've worked there about 3 times now and am starting to get a hang of everything and recognizing where things go on the floor. For those who don't know what gymboree is, it's just a little kids' clothing store. I actually work at a gymboree outlet, so all the stuff we have in the store is stuff from the previous year that was sold at the normal gymboree store. But it's been alright! I mainly just greet people, help them find what they're looking for and organize clothes and things like that. Pretty basic. But yeah! It's cool I guess. I just started my second job and LOVE it. It's at bath & body works. If you don't know what bath & body works is, you are straight up out of your mind and need help. ;) It was just my first day yesterday, but I had a longer shift so I was able to learn everything all at once. I seriously love it so much though! I work with really cool people, it's a pretty basic job of just helping people find what they need and checking them out when they're ready, AND I get a ton of free stuff every couple weeks. So I get to smell good all the time. Not to mention I am in love with the fact that I get a 30% off discount there, as well as at victoria's secret. Seriously the best thing ever! I can't wait to work there again. What else is going on? Uhmmm... OH! Did I mention before that we have real furniture now?! NO MORE SITTING ON THE FLOOR OR IN THE FOLDING CHAIRS, YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!! We have a big black leather couch, a big futon couch, a coffee table, an entertainment center and a shelf. I was seriously soooo excited when we got it. Jessica's parents gave it all to us and we were thrilled. Hmmmm something else is coming up.... Oh yeah, MY BIRTHDAY! My birthday is on the 27th folks, DO. NOT. FORGET! ;) Hahaha. I am pretty stoked about my birthday, turning 21 and all. I have absolutely no idea what we're gonna do, but I assume something will be done, and it shall be splendid. All I wanted at first was to go to dinner at the aquarium restaurant at the mall. Make fun of me all you want but it is seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen. Basically the whole restaurant is an aquarium and you can eat while sting rays and fish and other sea animal things swim next to you and above your head. WHO THE HECK DOESNT WANT TO EAT DINNER NEXT TO A SHARK?! I mean, LOOK AT IT!!
I mean, c'mon now! Coolest thing everrrrr! But....we're all kind of poor right now, myself included, so I think we are just gonna kinda play it by ear as far as what we do on my birthday. I don't even know if I work that day or the day after yet, so we'll see. I'm sure it will be fun no matter what, and we'll be back at the aquarium restaurant another time. I am excited though because on the day before my birthday, it's ladies night again at Applebees, so we are for sure going there next week! It's still our favorite place to go and we've become friends with our waitress, Kaylee, and the host boy, Mason. They're the best part of our week. And of course since it's ladies night, we'll get to see our good pal Vernon again. I can't wait!!!
The day after my birthday too, our friends in The Coronation are playing a show at The Hardrock again. That should also be a blast because 1. TC is awesome and I love those dudes 2. The Hardrock is probably my favorite "touristy" place that we have been to so far here. I think that is about it... I said I would have a new soundcloud or youtube video last time, aaaaand I do now. I don't really know how I feel about this cover. I actually feel like I don't like it at all, but others have heard it and love it, so let me know what you think! The video is here:
I hope to hear from you all soon, and I hope you're doing well. If there is anyone who didn't get my address yet and still wants it, let me know. I really want mail from you too!!! I love you all and I miss you. xoxo, Audrey
I NOW HAVE TWO JOBS WOOOOOO!!!! Say hello to your newest bath and body works sales rep at Opry Mills Mall. Also say hello to a 30% in store discount, including victoria's secret. ;) THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
SO I GOT A JOB! I'm only writing this in big bold letters because I don't really have anything else to update you on. BUT I GOT A JOB! I got the job at gymboree as a sales rep, and then I am still waiting to hear back from bath and both works as well as charlotte russe. I feel pretty confident about both of them, but we'll see how it goes. Uhmmmm....it's starting to cool down. THANK GOD because I'm really tired of the heat. It's kinda funny though because Nashville cooling down feels like Oregon summer. But I like it. Sunny, but not so humid. Well...that's about all. I'm still poor and getting bored but at least I have a job now. Feel free to send me money at any given time; I will not say no. ;) Ok....I love you all. BYE! xoxo, Audrey
Hey guys! So it's another week here, and this time my blog is really dumb...and probably really short. Not too much really went on this time around. Like I said last time, the first two weeks I was just trying to cram in everything I did in that time, which was a lot of stuff. Right now, we have been doing a lot of hanging out, and by hanging out, I mean laying on the floor and watching movies. Of course, we are all still looking for jobs, so we've been calling and checking up on those and just following through the best that we can. Good news about that though! I actually just got back from the mall today, and landed 2 interviews tomorrow at Bath and Body Works, and Charlotte Russe. I would love to work both of them if I can, especially since they are both in the mall, and are actually only 3 stores down from each other. My friend and neighbor, Heather works at a store called Janie and Jack which is like an off company from the Gymboree company that sells kids' clothes and what not. She told me that her manager was looking for people right away at the Gymboree store, so I also landed an interview there on Thursday. 3 interviews in one week sounds pretty great to me! I have my favorites that I would like to work at the most, but I would greatly take any of them at this point, and maybe even take two of them if I can. So yeah, I'll keep you all updated on that. I'm trying to think of what else we did this week.... I literally feel like it's nothing... OH WAIT! So since Robin has a mac laptop with garage band for editing music and she also has a really cool mic, I am slowly getting back into recording and singing cover songs as well as hopefully getting my own music out there. I just recorded a cover the other day and put it up on soundcloud. For those of you who don't know, soundcloud is a website that allows you to share audio recordings and things like that, and even allows other people to download it if they want. SO IN OTHER WORDS! I can record music, you guys can listen, and if you like it you can download the song and have it forever to listen on your long camping roadtrips! ;) Yes, I'm talking to you grandpa! The link to check that out is here: http://soundcloud.com/audreycallison I also have a youtube channel (so you can see my face when I sing) but I haven't uploaded anything to that yet. I did however record a second cover song, and I recorded video of it for youtube. So next time, I will put it up on soundcloud AND youtube. I will link that to you next time. My neighbors and I have also been trying to find a new church to go to. We went to one yesterday called Cornerstone. It was HUGE, compared to what I am used to at home, but I really really liked it. They did have a guest speaker though, who was incredible but because of that, we're gonna try going back again and seeing how the pastor is, and we also plan on checking out a couple other churches in the area, just to have some options and pick one that we want to make our new home church. Christ is a really big part of who I am though, and it really made me happy to get back into what I truly love and want to be like. Also, I just love Nashville on Sunday morning. It brings out the best of the south. ;) Well....that's about it for now. Nothing much of anything else is going on. It's raining today, but I'm so happy about it. I was starting to feel a bit homesick for my Oregon rain and coldness, and God was kind enough to give me a few showers this afternoon. So that was stinkin awesome. Tonight, we're going out to watch our friends in The Coronation play a show at The Hardrock Cafe, so that should be a good time! Well guys, I miss and love you all. Next week I will make sure I let you all know how it went with the job interviews and what not, and hopefully have more covers. I'm also working on getting some letters sent back home and responding to the letters people have already sent me. I love getting mail (and presents) so if you want to send me anything and you don't have my new address, send me a message on facebook, or text me, or whatever. I'll get that to you right away! I love you all so much. xoxo, Audrey P.S. My birthday is September 27th. I'll be 21... DONT FORGET! :D
Well, I made it! If you're involved with this blog, you probably already know who I am, so I'll keep my intro short. My name is Audrey, I'm 20, I was born and raised in Oregon, but just moved to Nashville to pursue my dreams of going to school and studying music business. This blog is probably going to be awful...but I will try. I'm gonna try to post pictures and videos to help me organize my mind, and tell as well as show you, what I'm up to. I figured it would be a lot easier for me to try to post at the end of every week or so, because I just don't really have the time to be posting every day, not to mention the fact that I have to steal my neighbor's internet to post anything.
OK SO FROM THIS POINT ON, I AM GOING TO SPAM YOU WITH PICTURES AND STUFF TO SHOW YOU WHAT I AM DOING. MY BRAIN IS SCATTERED WITH COOL STUFF THAT IT'S HARD TO KEEP THEM ALL IN ORDER, BUT I WILL TRY! :)
This was my first shot coming into Nashville. It was so crazy to see "the Batman building" and everything else right in front of me. Up until that point, I just saw pictures of all this. It was crazy to think I was ACTUALLY there.
After driving around with my friend JJ (who is also my neighbor just 4 doors down) we had to stop and get gas. Beings that I lived in Oregon, I of course had never learned or even knew how to pump gas. Soooooo this was my first time. To be honest with you, I don't even remember anything I learned. Typical.
It was an incredible feeling to hold the keys to my first place. I felt like such an adult!
Obviously being adult didn't last too long.... This is me and JJ putting up a shower curtain in my bathroom. :)
In the afternoon, JJ and I took a drive down Broadway Street, which is pretty much where all the tourist, bars, clubs, pubs, and Nashville life exist. It was also just so crazy to be driving down that because again, I had only seen it in pictures. This street is AMAZING at night, and I have yet to get a picture, but when I do, I'll make sure you all get to see it.
I arrived in Nashville on Tuesday, August 14th. The next day, my neighbor JJ moved into her apartment with her roomate Heather. We spent the next couple of days driving back to her home in Madison, AL (just a couple hours outside of Nashville) to help her pack and get all her stuff in to her place here in Nashville, as well as my roommate Jessica getting here and moving in all here stuff around midnight on Wednesday. We are very blessed to be friends with some guys in a band called Half Priced Hearts, and we ended up being able to talk a couple of the guys into coming and helping us out. Their guitarist, Trevor, came over on Friday morning to help Heather and her parents carry all the heavy furniture up the stairs. He's one of the funniest guys I know, so it was a blast having him over to help.
This is Trevor being really productive at my house...
We told him that he probably shouldn't open that can of soda because we had previously dropped it on the floor. His solution? Throw it.
No but really, I love this dude a lot, and he was a tremendous help to all of us. Heather's mom made DELICIOUS pulled pork sandwiches for all of us to go to town on after moving stuff all afternoon. Southern food is so much better in the south, I will tell you that right now. A couple hours after Trevor left, his bandmate and lead singer of HPH, Bobby came over to help us finish stuff up. Pretty much everything was done, so he just carried a few heavy boxes up the stairs for us, and then ended up just staying to chat. We had no furniture at the time, so we all just sat on the floor and had circle time with Bob. He's such an amazing friend as well. It really is crazy to think that I was just listening to these guys in my ipod on the flight here, and now I'm just having casual talks and hangs in the living room. Again, I'm just so blessed to have these guys around.
The next day, my roommate Robin finally got here. I was so excited to see her since she's the one I've been planning all this Nashville stuff with since February. After moving all her stuff in (to the living room because we were WAY too lazy to carry stuff upstairs for about the 3rd day in a row) we got ready for our first night out. Our friends I told you about in the band Half Priced Hearts were opening for a band called Since Forever at a venue called Rocketown. It was Since Forever's last show as a band, and they were one of the first bands that gave HPH a chance in the start of it all, so it was a pretty special show for them. The bands Tell Romeo I Hate Him, and Farewell Fighter also played. Both AMAZING bands with amazing people I now call my friends. Here's some pictures from thaaaaaaaaaaat....
I loved the fact that the first night out and both Robin and I wore our combat boots.
This is Bobby, doing what he does best. He's such an incredible talent!
This is Kenny, the lead singer from the band Farewell Fighter. Such a nice dude and also incredibly talented. I'm gonna go ahead and post a video from them, PLEASE actually check them out on the real, it won't waste your time. I promise!
Me and Trev. :)
Me and Mike (bassist in Half Priced Hearts)
Me and Bobby!
Check out some Half Priced Hearts songs here:
After the show....me and Rob kinda got tired.... Rock n Roll though...
The next few days, we kind of just hang out and do whatever comes up. JJ and I have gone to another show at Rocketown to see a band called Dinner And a Suit, and like to just hang out there. One night, we went to Applebee's and ended up being seated in the bar section. Ok, now I know you all are aware of what Applebee's is, but Applebee's in Nashville is a MILLION times cooler. This one that we go to is really small, but REALLY cool. The bar section is right in the middle of the restaurant and then the rest of the seats kind of just wrap around the parameter of the room. On Wednesday nights, they have games and just kinda...hang out with each other. They have a MC named Vernon who literally just sits in the corner of the bar with his little microphone and just casually makes fun of everyone as they walk in. He was even giving us a hard time about anything he could pick fun at. We seriously loved him though because he was so funny, and he still took the time to come over, meet us, and thank us for coming in and spending our evening there. Not only was Vernon cool, but we became friends with the host/door kid named Mason, as well as all the random people at the bar just hoopin and hollerin with each other. The whole night we were just talking to each other about how cool it was that people are just SO nice. We were all there to eat dinner, hang out with whoever we were with, yet we were all talking and joking with each other. The waiting staff did a great job with their actual job task, but would still come over and just sit and socialize with us and everyone else. At one point, my roommates and neighbors and I all started singing a song that was playing on the radio, and the whole entire Applebee's was clapping along and listening. Funniest, craziest, and weirdest situation ever, but GREAT. Applebee's night was hands down our best night in Nashville so far, and we decided to make it a weekly thing from here on out, as long as we can all get together that night.
Thursday nights are really awesome also. Some friends of ours are in a band called The Coronation. Right now they have a residency at a bar called The National Underground, so they get to play every Thursday night from 11-2am. For those who don't know, The National Underground is the bar that is owned by singer Gavin DeGraw and his brother. It's located downtown on Broadway, across from the Hard Rock cafe. OH WAIT FUNNY STORY ABOUT OUR FIRST NIGHT GOING DOWN BROADWAY! So our first night out on Broadway, we were going to see The Coronation, but it was pouring down rain outside. Like, hurricane style! The boys were all telling not to come out and that they would play another show next week, so naturally....we didn't listen and went anyway! So here we are, hair and makeup done to be downtown, dressed up for the night...and we are literally RUNNING through downtown Nashville to try to find this freaking bar. Good times... Great story for the kids some day....
The next couple days again were just kinda chill. We've all been looking for jobs so we've been hitting up Opry Mills Mall and all the stores there, seeing who's hiring and what not. I have had an interview at Starbucks already and am waiting to hear back from there. I also applied at The Rainforest Cafe in Opry Mills. It's literally the coolest thing ever! As you can see here, I really liked the fish...
Fun story time again! So a couple nights ago, my roommates and I were sitting in my room, having our little roommate pow wow/bonding time, and a HUGE spider decided to crawl up the wall. Let me just stop right there: The bugs in Nashville are the WORST. I'm not sure I live in the south, or Africa, because these bugs are huge and I hate them all. ANYWAY! Being the girls that we are, we all ran and cried and got scared. Both of our beds got ripped apart trying to find this spider. All of us were armed with proper spider killing tactics including, but not limited to: raid, windex, air freshener, shower cleaner, paper rolls, a kleenex box, and a hanger. By the end of the night, and by end of the night I mean 3:30am, we ended up moving all our beds downstairs to the living room and sleeping together in there. Spider: 1 Us: 0
This last weekend, our neighbors were getting some more furniture dropped off for them, so Trevor came over again to help move that for them. We spent about an hour moving a couple couches and then JJ's parents were kind enough to take us all out to lunch. Later that day, our friends Hannah and Ashley came from Kentucky to visit us. We spent the day at the mall, visiting SATCO, which is a really yummy taco place that everyone told us to check out, and trying to find Taylor Swift at her house. :)
Hannah and I.
Taylor lives in one of those rooms up there. Her curtains were actually open that day, and we saw her little twinkle lights she has in her living room. I'm pretty sure she's still in Nashville right now, so we're all just trying to keep our eyes open for her. We will find her one day!!!
SPEAKING OF TAYLOR SWIFT!
My pals in Half Priced Hearts just put out a cover video of them doing Taylor's newest song. It's crazy good! They're currently trying to get their cover to be seen by more people, and possibly her, so if you could help them out by sharing this video on facebook, twitter, email it to people, or simply just go WATCH it on youtube. The more views it gets from people, the better they will get noticed! Check it out here:
Again, we all just really like to hang out with each other, and do dumb stuff like watch Disney movies, write songs, and just hang out. Rob and I have actually got in a habit of waking up every morning and going and having morning talks with each other. I treasure that time with her because it just allows us to catch up and have someone to talk to and trust. We also have nightly swings and do the same thing. It tends to happen anywhere between midnight and 3am, but we just go out back where our apartments have a little playground. There's also a pool right outside our back door where we lay out and tan and go swimming when it gets really hot. (Yes...it's hot in Nashville. No, I am not dying yet.) We also have Sunday dinners every Sunday and usually invite the neighbors too. The first Sunday dinner we did a good ol southern dinner of fried chicken, mash potatoes, and gravy. This last Sunday Robin's uncle told us he would order us pizza, so we took him up on that offer. Not only did he get us two large pizzas, but he also got cinnamon sticks, garlic bites, and soda. The 5 of us went to TOWN on that, and spent the evening watching 5 tour document and live concert dvds, one after another. One of those was The Backstreet Boys from 2000, the first concert I ever went to. That night was a blast!
Every other day in Nashville looks something like this...
Well..... I guess that's it for now. I know this was really long, but I wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Again, I will try to post at the end of every week, and recap everything I did. This was the first 2 weeks, so it was really long and I have been clearly doing a lot. Now that I'm a bit more settled, we don't do much right now. I do hope to start my youtube channel again soon where I will be doing my own cover videos and hopefully some of my own music, as well as music Robin and I have been working on. I just want you all to know that I miss you all so much already, but I am SO happy with my life right now. Every day I find myself asking, "Do I really live here? Is this really my life? How am I this lucky? Are these people really my friends?" I am amazed that this is the life I now have. Every day I have woke up happy and spend all day laughing and having crazy adventured with the best people I could ever ask for. For those of you who don't know, today also marked 10 years since I lost my mom. It's hard...I cried. But I after writing this blog and realizing all the cool things I have had in the past 2 weeks, and knowing this is how the rest of my life will be, I know that my mom would be so happy and proud of me. I AM happy and proud of me. I can't wait to see what happens next.
