Carrie Underwood Concert!!

Sons of Sylvia opened for Carrie (never heard of them but they were entertaining!)

Then Mr. Billy Currington - he was awesome!

Trey got us awesome seats for the Carrie Underwood concert Wednesday night October 13th, 2010 - it was such a fun night and we thought Carrie was incredible!! We also saw a Grammy Award winning songwriter: Ashley Gorley (a guy) - who wrote "Then" for Brad Paisley and "You're Gonna Miss This" for Trace Adkins.

Carrie rises up from underneath the stage for her opening song: Cowboy Casanova

What's this? American Idol Danny Gokey sitting two rows away!!

incredible set and costume changes for Carrie - this is one of probably 15

Carrie floated over us in a blue pick up truck as she stood in the bed of the truck singing "Country Roads" symbolizing her journey from Oklahoma to American Idol to the last 5 years of musical success!

here's a better shot when they lowered the truck down right above us

Opening Night at The Grand Ole Opry!

Outside The Grand Ole Opry

"Welcome Home"

So, I have never been to the Grand Ole Opry and it was such a treat for one of my friends (Stacey) in the music biz to invite me. Sad that Trey didn't get to come - but I txted him during the show with pics and commentary as he watched from home on the GAC channel. :) It was truly a patriotic and Tennessee pride evening for me. I love this city! I saw/heard Martina McBride, Josh Turner (he's so adorable!), Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and more.

Wow!!

NYC: Music in the strangest places...

Trip to NYC with the Moores! (Kassie and Brooks = 'Brooksie')

Kassie and me - Blurry in Time Square - Keep walking or you get squashed!!

Brooks took us to the U.S. Open! - Kassie made a cool observation: "Tennis is a very refined sport. There's no music playing, no dancers, cheerleaders..."etc.

Lunch at the 'Spotted Pig' in the Village - delicious


the boys took us to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! It was Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!


the promise land :)

We had an awesome time in New York with Kassie and Brooks - we enjoyed Central Park, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Plaza, Mary Poppins on Broadway, coffee at Dean & Deluca, shopping on 5th Avenue, FAO Shwartz, whiplash cab rides, the beautiful chaos of Time Square, fabulous dining, yummy bakeries, touring NBC's studios...but most of all, the quality time and memories made with our dear friends!

Super Mario Bros 3: Song Parody

Ok, so our friend and my co-writer, Michael, and I wrote a song today for his publishing company as a total joke and we turned in this video. If you don't like video games, specifically Super Mario Bros 3, then I encourage you to skip over this post. NOTE: this may have only been funny to us - but Trey got a kick out of it, so I thought I'd share it for a 90's flashback...
