Week 1: Let the work begin..

Week 1:

Let the work begin...My mom and I were super exhausted after our long drive, but that didn’t stop us from getting busy. We immediately began our hunt for furniture that will fit in my lil shoe box..I mean apartment..Did I tell you how small it is?? IT’s SMALL!!  (450 sq feet to be exact). I even have a murphy bed ( a bed that pulls out from the wall). At first I thought this was going to be fabulous because I wouldn’t even have to make my bed in the morning... just fold it up into the wall...WRONG!! This sucker is HEAVY!! Its like doing a dead lift/squat thrust thingy first thing in the morning..And getting it down at night...well thats another story...I am pretty sure one of these days this thing is going to squish me like a bug..All you will see are my feet sticking out like the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz. HELP!!!! 

We found this really awesome furniture store (Atlantic Bedding) where we finally found a couch that barely/perfectly fit...with a hide a bed.( meaning there is no excuse not to come visit haha) a dresser for my closet, and a cute little table. Not only did I get furniture from the store, but I also made some friends..Who woulda thought??? We randomly bumped into the furniture crew again at a bar..and when I say bumped into..I literally mean RAN into them..BAM!! oopsies..Well he introduced me to his fiance (she is a doll) we talked midgets (I mean little people..I LOVE THEM) and instantly became friends. They even invited us to dinner the next evening and to join their softball team. :-) YAY FOR NEW FRIENDS!! 

My tiny little box of an apartment is finally starting to look like a home..I used yellow accents to make it my happy little box. :-) Its pretty cozy in here and I am loving the building..Met another girl in the building..We also instantly clicked..She actually lived in my hometown for awhile as a training news reporter for K2..Small world huh?? 

Even tho we were working our butts off..,my mom and I got to enjoy some great quality time together this week and had a blast per usual.. I am so thankful to have her in my life. She has always been very supportive of me and my dreams. She helped me so so much this week with EVERYTHING!! I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for her!  We had a lot of fun exploring the town and my neighborhood together. We checked out the Belle Meade plantation/winery, and the Belmont Mansion. (BOTH WERE BEAUTIFUL) We also checked out the fun bars and restaurants in the area..Of course we enjoyed some much needed wine..and... maybe a few fireballs here and there...but who’s counting :-) Saying goodbye to her on Sunday was devastating. Goodbyes are never easy!! 

 

Friday the 21st my mom and I attended CRS 2014..(Country Radio Seminar) where I was able to do some great networking. I was asked by a few record label execs, managers, etc to stop by their offices next week to discuss my career. They also want to hear some of my music and possibly use me as a writer!! SO...Stay tuned and Ill let you know how it all goes :-) 

Cheers,
