One Crazy Year... - August 17, 2009
It has been one crazy year...and my music has had to take a bit of a backseat. That's okay, though, life is a journey and I'm on a little bit of a detour. My husband came home from a 12 month tour in Iraq on May 5th and by May 30th, we were looking at Fort Hood, TX in the rearview mirror, on to a 10 week course in Norfolk, VA. Now it is less than 2 weeks until we board a plane for our next Army assignment in Spain…yes, Spain! Who knew you could go to Spain? Not us, until our friends got stationed there and now we’ll be reunited in Madrid. It will be great to have friends there. This will be a three year tour and we can’t wait to enjoy every single minute of it.
On the music front, I had more business than ever last year, entertaining children as the Firecracker Fairy. As for my country music, I’m still pitching through SongU, and I’m sure I’ll be doing some writing in Spain. Recently, I had a song licensed for use by an independent female artist, and a guy in Norway has one of mine and my co-writers songs on hold. Don’t know if he’ll end up recording it, but hope he does and that he’s the Garth Brooks of Norway. Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
My music sites will still be up, though there will be limited activity. We want to travel as much as possible in Spain and throughout Europe. I’m sure life will be very exciting, sometimes frustrating, and I’ll be blogging about it all along the way. Keep in touch and post a comment to me every once in a while on my Spain blog called Spain Is My Happy Place. Here’s the address:

Hasta luego,
