Moving to Nashville! We have packed up and headed to our apartment in Nashville. We have already named it the Nash Pad. I am going to write more about the move and the arrival, adjustments since we arrived! For now, just wanted you to know where I am.
I have been to Nashville many times before and met amazing people.
I know that will continue to be the case as I attend the GMA Immerse Conference in a few weeks. Some of my friends I have met there the past couple of years will be there. That means, late night jammin, and being surrounded by musicians. I am entering the Artist Competition for the first time too. Finally. I will get to actually sing!
Come by and check it out at Belmont College.
