Blessed

I graduated from college on Saturday.  It's crazy, but true.

As the craziness has subsided and relaxation begun, I've decided to get all of my thoughts together into a blog post.

First of all, I am blessed to have been fortunate enough to go to college, much less graduate.  It didn't really hit me when I was in school, but when people started congratulating me for graduating, I realized that it really is a big deal.  It's not something that everyone does.

Also, tonight I was rehearsing for a show I'm playing next week.  I'm playing 3rd and Lindsley (here in Nashville) with my friend Amy Stroup.  It's going to be broadcast live on Lightning 100.  If you're in Nashville, you should be there.  If you can't, at least tune in and listen.  If you're not in Nashville, listen online at lightning100.com.  We'll be playing at 8PM Central Time.  I'm really excited.

That being said, tonight, while we were rehearsing, I thought to myself "I'm setting myself up to make a living doing this, and look how much fun I'm having!"  Now I know that not every gig I play will be as fun, but as I rehearsed in a room with my friends, I couldn't help but think of how blessed I am to have the opportunity to hopefully make music for a living.

Anyway, that's all I really have to say.  I just wanted to say that.  Thank you and have a good night.
