Okay so I don't ever plan on being compared to Carrie Underwood or Faith Hill but someone had faith in me last night when I placed in the final round of the Colgate Country Showdown! Yee haw! I entered on a whim last Friday and didn't really start to practice until yesterday morning. I sang Patsy Cline's version of "Crazy." I have always liked to sing, but just not in front of people. Only in the last year or so did I stop caring what other people thought when it comes to things like this. I entered this for fun and of course Justin is excited that you can win money! Did I mention that Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus and Sara Evans were all discovered in this showdown?
Here we are before I performed. There were 14 people to singlast night and there will be 15 more next week. They take the top three people from each night and then we all perform again on August 15th. The winner of that final will go on to compete at the state final! I don't know if I'll win or not buy I'm sure gonna try!
This was right before the performance. Check out my cowboy boots! Thanks to my sister for letting me borrow them! I went #13. I don't believe in superstition at all, but 13 has been a good number this year (like June 13!).
This is right after my name was called for the top 3. My name was first so I didn't have one of those wait until the last name is called moments. My family and Justin were with me and they were so proud! My dad said he knew I was going to do good, but I exceeded his expectations!
Justin took this picture right before we left of the HideAway where we performed. Even if I don't make it to the next round, I'm still proud of myself for having the courage to get up and try!
And a big thank you to my friends Grace and Jason for my good-luck present, a pink snuggie!
