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
