Here I am! =P

Hey guys

Just wanted to write and check in with everyone. I haven't been blogging lately, shame shame! I recently was away on the Fireball run this past week which traveled from Baton Rouge, LA to Grand Rapids Michigan. This rally was a great event cause it helps an amazing organization The child rescue center. Each car in this rally had a missing child assigned to their team and were given pictures to place on their vehicle and flyers to hand out every place that we stopped. Last year they said that a total of 20 children were recovered because of leads gained during the event. Hopefully this year we were able to match if not find more children. Along the route it really touched me with some of the stops that we made during the day. We visited 2 children's hospitals and one Child's orphanage the Tupelo's children's mansion. I have some pics of the kids and video of me singing with them while we visited and had lunch. They seriously touched my heart. Next entry I'll post some. I took some many pics that I'm still loaded and organizing them all. I would love to go back to spend more time and do a show for the kids at the mansion. They were awesome! =) 

I had to jump off this rally a few days early though. If you have been reading I am getting ready to go on tour this fall. I was in rehearsals before I left and had to head back up to NY during the event to be back for fittings and to get back into rehearsal. =) Still waiting to post dates for you guys of all the cities that we will be hitting on the tour. Rumor has it that besides the east coast tour thats going to be kicking off in Nov. there is possibly another one in the works as well and one overseas. ;) don't know if I should have spilled the beans on that just yet but its still exciting and I was having a hard time keeping a secret from you guys anyway. haha 

Right now im up at my parents house staying with my fam for a few days. I've been working a lot and then traveling some im catching up on the fam time right now. Me and ferrari are taking over the house. lol Me and my brother are watching perfect stranger. Since i'm writing this entry I keep looking up at odd moments and have no idea whats going on right now. lol  Ferrari is off probably annoying my moms other cats and our dog. 

Oh I don't know how I could have forgot to mention this.... on Oct 11 I am going to be singing the National Anthem at the New York Islanders home game!! =) As far as I know its going to be shown on ESPN so you can tune in and check me out WOOHOO. Between you and me I'm a little nervous when I think about it. haha 16,000 people and home games are a big deal. Im soooo excited and grateful to have been asked. My team as been putting together a "buzz builder video" so all the footage from sessions rehearsals and even stuff like the islanders game will be up soon. 

Speaking of, what do you guys think of the new site? Pretty neat right? =) Would love to hear feedback. 

Also wanna say hello to Jay who I met in Tupelo.. I just read your comment on the blog site that was very sweet of you thank you so much!! It was very nice talking to you as well =) Hope you had a great time coming out for the rally in Tupelo. It def was one of my fav stops along the way. I had a chance to chat with Jay a little bit before I had to head off to the airport that morning. He also came out for the autocross event the day before which was killer!! I took my 335 out and showed the boys how to really drive ;) haha 

k I'm gonna go finish watching the rest of this movie with my bro. I'll go through some more pics tomorrow and get them up here for you. Night!
