WOW. Its been a really long time since I've updated you guys!!!! Im so sorry! This summer has been NUTS.
SO much has happened that I have to open our calendar to see what we've done because I cant remember it all!!!!!
-CMA WEEK...
Was amazing. Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to our booth signings, shows and everything else. Ive said it before and I'll say it again...NO OTHER GENRE will you find such wonderful fanfriends. I hope the week was everything you guys had hoped for and more. And if you didnt get to come this year I hope we get to see you next year!
-RHAPSODY ROCKS...
Will and I had the honor of playing a show with Jack Ingram, Luke Bryan and Gloriana for Rhapsody in June. It was recorded and will be available for audio and video download hopefully soon. We're itching to see it!!! The night went amazing and I hope you guys enjoy it when it comes out!
-CMT AWARDS...
ROCKED! It was SO MUCH FUN! Stars we got to see...ALL OF THEM! I got to hang out with Heidi Newfield while she was getting her make up done (we share the same Make up artist!) and she was super duper sweet and adorable. OH OH OH AND I got to meet ALL of the B-52's. They were all so nice and gorgeous! AND Def Leppard!!!! HOLY COW! I got to see Luke Wilson and Sheryl Crow and Ted Nugent and everyone else! It was so crazy. I got to meet Bill Engvall and his wife.. I think my favorite performance was from Brad Paisley...stripped down and just talented! Overall it was such a great night and the after party was how should I say it...STARRY!
-GX Magazine Shoot...
For all of you in the National Guard who get this publication we did an interview and photo shoot and it will be out in the SEPT/OCT issue!!!! Let me tell you THAT was FUN and it was Hotter than hell outside!!!!! So we might lok cool, calm and collected but we were melting! We also shot that on the day that Michael Jackson passed away so it was a very somber day for all of us. I dont think I will ever forget where I was when I heard the news. God Bless him and his family...such a blow to the music world.
-CMA VOTING...
Will and I got to partake in the voting for the upcoming CMA Awards!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course we voted for ourselves and our other favorites. Lets all cross our fingers we make it to the final nominations!!!!!!!!!
-ADDRESS IN THE STARS VIDEO SHOOT...
YES YES YES! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! We shot the video for aits on June 30th. We started at 530 PM and ended at 530 AM on July 1st. It was unbelievable. The weather was BEAUTIFUL Thank God. I really really hope that you guys like it. It was very emotionally draining. We actually shot two videos in one. One is called the "performace video" and the other is the "concept video" the concept vid will be on TV and the perform vid will be online. I hope you like both. So far we've only seen the perform video and it makes me cry everytime. Its just very stripped down. I CANT WAIT to see the concept video. THIS WEDNESDAY the Performance Video will be premiered at OPRY.COM. So dont forget to go check it out there!!!!!!
-FOURTH OF JULY...
Was incredibly relaxing. I spent 5 days with my family in Charlottesville like we do every year and just had a blast. I didnt have to be "artist Caitlin" I got to be hair crazy, no make up, barefoot , disheveled Caitlin...haha. I got to hug and kiss my cousins and God Daughter and actually have one on one conversations for more than 5 minutes with my Aunts, Uncles, Sister, Nanny and Poppy and Mum and Faja. It was great. But it went by too fast.
-MY BIRTHDAY...
