When dreams turn into dust, give up if you must

I realize that I may never get far with my music, but I love to do this. Playing guitar and singing is something I love to do. I may not be great at it but I appreciate the support you guys have given me throughout the years. I do have one confession to make...I'm scared to death to play in front of a crowd so I never have.....besides my high school graduation party! lol.....The youtube videos and ustream shows are a way for me to get my music out to ya'll without being scared. I started this post as a FB status to my FB friends. It got a little long and looked more like a blog to me! Writing songs recently has become difficult because I'm not sure what to write about. Writing mushy, cheesy love songs have never been my strength! haha! I would love to write some more happy, upbeat songs if I could.

School so far has been going good. I have a quiz in biology that I'm not exactly prepared for but we'll see how it goes lol. I just turned in my first english paper that I've written in a while. I feel pretty good about it but we'll see how my teacher likes it. The last english paper I wrote at Rock Valley in Rockford, IL was a failure......I should've listened to my friend when she told me several times not to take that professor! I have a presentation in my Nutrition class Monday on the nutrition and culture of the Amish. For my part I am doing cooking utensils and prestige foods of the Amish. I am trying to make Amish friendship bread....the started takes 10 days to make and I'm currently on day 7 of it. I have to stir it 10 times a day! We'll see how this turns out lol! I can't believe spring break is almost here too and that we are almost halfway through the semester! And I haven't skipped a class yet :) I also got an email the other day from Al's Beef that they are FINALLY getting close to opening. Three months after my interview and I finally might have a job! Sounds crazy but I'm not sure that I want it now. It would be nice to have a little extra money in our bank account but I'm afraid that it might take away from my focus on school. Hopefully when I start, I only work like 20-25 hours.......we'll see about that!

Can't wait for June.....Dave and I are going to Nashville for CMA fest!!! I am so excited and get to see my parents too :) Also got 3 concerts coming up in April and possibly 2 in May! So be on the lookout for some more concert blogs!! That extra money from that job might come in handy for my concert addiction.....lol.
