I hope everyone had a great (and safe) New Year's Eve!  I know you guys haven't heard much from me this past year, but I had a lot of "unfinished business" to take care of and I have actually gotten more done than you think ;)

I finished my degree!  Hallelujah!  I even got to walk with my class, which took alllllllllllll of my time this past year and really meant a lot to me.  Since I took a semester off from school to perform on American Idol, I had to cram an additional semester into my senior year, but I made it!

I can hardly believe I came out alive haha, but it's over, and I'm so excited for all the new things coming up this year...

Now that I have finally graduated college, I can dedicate 2009 to bringing you everything you have been waiting for!  Thank you, thank you, and thank you to all of my loyal fans!!  You guys really make any amount of hard work pay off in the end.

So now that it's a new year, I'm sure everyone's got their own goals to work toward for the year.  I have faith in you!  It will pay off.  Believe me, just keep focused and always, always stay safe!

I love you all!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
