“Hey yall!! I hope everyone is doing great! I guess now you are probably beginning to think about the holidays!! Can you believe Thanksgiving is one month away and Christmas will be here in two months?! I am SO EXCITED!! I have a new niece so spending the holidays with her and my other niece will be so amazing!!

I wanted to write and let you know what I’ve been up to these days. I have recorded half of my new album and now I’m looking for and writing the songs for the other half. I am extremely anxious for you all to hear some more of the new music. We will hopefully have it completed by the end of the year. As soon as we finish the record, I’ll be all over the country and world again playing shows! I sure do miss playing and miss seeing you guys, but I needed to take time to make the album I’m most proud of!!

Personally, I have started taking dance classes, doing yoga, and pilates!! I love them all so much!! Of course, I still find time to shop! Actually, Nashville has a new shopping area that I have already visited several times!! Its called the Hill Center. Oh, I’ve started cooking too!!! Tonight I fixed myself pan-seared salmon and veggies!! I actually enjoyed it. I used to just help Mama in the kitchen, but I started trying to do it on my own...its really fun!

Mama is doing great and working all of the time. I took her away to Phoenix, Arizona this past weekend because she deserved a mini-vacation!! We had the best time with each other. I still havent bought her that house yet, but have a vivid picture of it in my mind!! She wanted me to tell you all hi!

I mentioned at the Fan Club party this year that we were beginning work on a new Fan Club site. We are definitely in the process of making a new and better site, so be sure and check back soon. Please know I am going to make sure the new site is so great for us both!! Until then, I will try to make frequent updates on my MySpace page. Thank you for being patient with me!!

I love and miss you all!! I cant wait to see you!”
