Well folks, It's been a while.. but just don't think about it. I'm here now and that's all that matters. I've been in Nashville now for about a month and half... almost 2 months actually. Wow.. what a journey it has been! Since I have been here I have had a job and lost a job, dated a boy and dumped a boy, played some bass gigs, booked some gigs, turned down some gigs, met people, forgotten people.. and here I am. I love it here! Nashville is like a big city with a small town feel. Everytime I meet someone, I figure out that they have some connection to someone else I have already met. It's awesome. I played my first gig with Steve Virginia at 3rd and Lindsley... a pretty sweet little venue downtown. It was a great experience! Just this past weekend I played a gig with John Michael, a Christian artist... that was pretty sweet too!
I've met so many people, I wouldn't be able to name them all, but some interesting ones have been the entire Lady Antebellum, who I've had the pleasure of hanging out with a few times, Carrie Underwood, I got to go bowling with her..kinda weird... and several others. Producers, managers, you name it.
I can honestly say that this was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. I am so happy here! I have made great friends, found an amazing church, and I'm pursuing my dream! I'm doing life the way I think it should be done... and let me tell you... there is Joy and freedom in that!
I do miss my family. I talk to my sister often.. not enough. We video chat and I can see her pregnant belly gettin bigger and bigger everytime! And bubba... goodness gracious! she's gettin so big, she is going to be an awesome big sister! She loves helping mom out, and she starts home school in the fall. She's so smart... I can't stand being away from her, but I will be home for a week in June!
I'm sure I will have much more to say in the coming months, but for now I just wanted to say, that I love it here and I'm having a great time. I talk Sarah's ear off everyday, I don't know what I would do if she didn't have verizon! Thanks for listening sarah!
I am not going to lie; I changed plans so my life would get cheaper from talking to you too much! ;) But I would not have it any other way, and it is not like I don't talk your ear off too!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you friend! You amaze me with your strength and determination to do whatever your heart desires! It is so much fun hearing about the new life you are creating for yourself and the dreams you are chasing. I could do without you meeting a new famous person daily while I go to class in Modesto! I totally and completely feel like you are right where God wants you! While I miss you too and wish it was easier for bestie time, I would not bring you back to California for anything right now! Can't wait to see you this summer! Love you!
P.S. It is about time you found your way back to your blog!
