Christie

I am definitely missing Christie right now. She is such a great person and I really love her. We had a great time together over Christmas. She gave me the sweetest scrapbook and a slammin' watch. Her parents gave me some Bose headphones as well, Sweet!

I gave her some pictures of us so she could put one up in her room at school and the others in her room at Grandma's.  I also got her a really pretty necklace that looks gorgeous on her.

My family got her a lot of stuff and she was really happy. She's my girl and I really love her. We're planning to go to Florida for my break and hang with Carole and Tyler.

I am so happy that she got into grad school and I think it will be good for her!

Was woken up very early by severe leg and foot cramps, not fun at all. Called my girlfriend and talked to her, packed up and loaded the bus headed to Altamonte Springs, FL.

Arrived at Days Inn in Altamonte Springs, Florida at 5 p.m. Checked in, called parents and Christie, ate dinner, then practiced and listened to tunes for upcoming concert, then did a video call with Christie. She had trouble getting her webcam to work but she finally got it, and we were able to see each other. Even got to talk to Grandma Edna.

Clayton State University-Spivey Hall(Morrow,Georgia)

Got up to practice and work on the book around 7 or 8. Practiced a decent amount

1st concert went ok with exception of my music being out of order for one tune. The biggest things I have to work on are good in tune vibrato, and all the subtle nuances.

Got to see my parents and various family members after the first concert and they brought me more stuff to use on the bus. They have been very good to me and I am fortunate to have such a great family.

I didn't have much time to meet up with Christie, but it's ok. I'll make it up to her ;)

Spent the entire morning and afternoon packing and getting ready to meet up with the band.

Met up with the band at Super 8 motel in Atlanta. Had dinner with some of the band members, got the bus keys, the book, jackets and ties, and got help from the guys in the band.
