Second Week In Utah!

wow this week has been super busy! So on Wednesday my grandma had surgery and I was taking care of her all week. I have meet with Steve and his family a lot and there are the nicest people. I have done nothing but sing this whole time that I have been here. AND AMERICAN IDOL DATES HAVE BEEN POSTED JULY 29! I am so excited. So here is how the process goes. 2 days before the actual audition you go to the Delta Center. and they people of American Idol hand out wrist bandsFOR AN HOUR TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THEY GET TOO. And if you don't get one, too bad so sad. So my uncle Allen and I are going to stay in Steve Porters Condo at the gateway. because you aren't allowed to camp out for the tryouts at all..... YIKKKKESSo now I pretty much wait. and sing.This week I have a voice lesson with DEAN!!!!! YEA!!! tomorrow actually. And I know that that will go over well.And Then so probably on Wednesday I go to Georges house and I am gong to get my show together.On Friday which is the 4th I have 2 shows. One is is Sandy and I am doing a 30 minute show and then after that I go to huntsville.and I have a 30 minute show then and I am the last act then there are fire works. This year seems for me to have better times for me to sing to the public.Which is good cause I need as much support as possible.Last saturday.... I had a 15 minute show in West bountiful for there independence celebrationThe songs that I sang was "Anyway:" "Angel" "Feeling Good" and I absolutely loved being up there.Right after I got off the stage, This one lady came up to me and she said , What is your name?I said Abbie Lorrin, "So you are going to try out for American Idol, is that what I heard?" "Yes mam' that's right""well we'll be voting for you" "Thank you" Then this girl that was probably 15 who sang before me, came running up to me and she said"Omgsh you did so good and I am so glad that you are going to tryout for American Idol. Me and all of my friends are going to vote for you." *I'm blushing and laughing*I thanked her and told her she did a very good job as well. She was so cute and then after she asked for a hug and she just was so cute!Then my very first vocal teachers daughter came up to me and I talked to her and that was nice.And My grandma said a old man went up to her and said "How old is that girl that sang?""16""no,no not the one that sang before her the one that just sang?"*with more umph* "16"the old man shouting " 16, mabel she's just 16, oh by golly...." Lol it was funny. Ahhh that was so fun and I love the crowds reactions and I hope that I touched at least one person its not about me and what I get out of it, it is what god has given to me and i am suppose to shareit with people. and hopefully they will like it. I am gods tool and he gave me a special gift that I am suppose to make my mark on this earth. I am so grateful for this. It seems like yesterday that I was just thinking about all this and now my dream is coming reality.! I love it

First Week In UTah!

wow how much I miss ya'll already. Ok so this week has been..... EXHAUSTING.! but I guess that I need to get used to that. So I arrived and I was stranded at the airport. My grandma was suppose to pick me up and I called her and then her phone died. AHHHH and then this old man with his 12 year old son hit on me. He asked me "Do you know where you are going?" I said Yes thank you. "Well are you renting a car or something?" I said " No my husband is picking me up" Lol He said "Where you from?" I said" Arizona" hmmm...... CREEPY. Anyway I finally found my grandma. We had dinner and then I went back to her house (she lives with her friend Sally and Sally's late husband Gordon was my pops I talked about him a lot) so we went back to their house and I did what I always did when I was in that living room. I Sang. It was back to the olden days again. Then Allen came home.(my uncle)Then we went to chili's. My favorite restraunt. The Next day I met Steve Porter. The doctor,the coolest dude ever. The guy that is so open hearted into sponcering me to fulfill my dream. He's a very nice guy. He has 3 daughters. Molly is my age and she plays soccer. Her and I are going to become great friends. Him and Allen are business partners for their "Medical Trends" book that they are creating and this book is going to be very successful. and they also have a soccer team together. Allen is the head coach and steve is a MAJOR supporter. Steve will usually take the whole team out to dinner and one time the bill was about 500 and then he left a 50 dollar tip. A very generous man.So I got to know his family a little bit and on Friday I finally had my first Lesson. It was a breathing lesson with Michelle. It was great. I forgot how much work goes into all this and how expensive it can get. Like the first day I was here I went shopping and I went to this boutique and I got 3 things for my shows and it was 250. YIKKKKES. So, so far I have about 6 shows that I'm singing in. I got a lot of work ahead of me. Today I was suppose to record some song. Unfortually last night The producer george Kelly called and canceled because his wife who was pregnant with a baby girl, the Baby's brain was not growing and developing. So today she is being induced and the baby is going to pass and go with heavenly father. I know that ya'll don't know them but please keep George and his family in your prayers. They are close friends of mine and need all the prayers they can get right now. Thanks. So I will try to write every week. Hopefully not as long Lol. But thank you for reading and keep me in your prayers also. I love and miss you all. cant wait to see you! abbie Lorrin
