Christine Marie: My Blog!

Hi everyone!
Wow, the last time I blogged was after I met the Ghost Adventures guys in JULY... it is now November and I have been living in Nashville for three months. THREE MONTHS! Those three months just FLEW by, I'll tell ya. While I've been here, I've been experiencing some pretty exciting stuff - from a free Eric Church/Alan Jackson concert on one of the biggest streets in Nashville to my very first CMA Awards Week experience, I have been in country music industry heaven. Last time I sent out an update was through email, where I talked about seeing Charlie Worsham for the first time (and since then, I've seen him twice more... that should tell you how long it has been!) and going through the first month of so of classes. As I sit here, I have a week and a half left of classes before finals and Christmas break... I honestly cannot believe my first semester is almost over already. That blows my mind.
Since that September email, amazing, amazing things have been happening. This is going [...]

HAPPY MONDAY!!! And a happy Monday it is indeed. :) I have had the best Monday I could ever ask for... why? Because today I met the guys from my absolute FAVORITE TV show, Ghost Adventures! I've been watching the show for around three years now, as I am SUCH a fan of the paranormal, and Ghost Adventures just happened to be filming in Old Town San Diego this week!! After two days of trying, my friend Chelsea and I were finally successful in tracking them down! They were hands down THE nicest people I have met - not jaded at all and they acted like friends, not TV stars. I was VERY excited to meet my biggest "celebrity crush" Zak (in the middle), but I have to say, I walked away with a newfound love for both Aaron and Nick, who were incredibly sweet and actually talked to us. Nick even complimented my boots! :) It was a huge success and I am SO happy. Dreams do come true (with hard work!!). Here's us (L-R) Aaron Goodwin, Zak Bagans, Nick Groff. My three favorite men! 

Aside from all [...]

Hello everyone and happy Monday once again! It is getting closer and closer to the big moving date, but I am still up to a lot around here! I've had a busy week, staying home and attending to my sick mom who has pneumonia (but is DEFINITELY getting better!!). All in all, I am mostly focusing on getting to Nashville and starting school, but that doesn't mean I don't have a few updates! 
My 4th of July was spent with some good friends watching the fireworks from our backyard! We have a view of about 8 different fireworks shows up here, so it's always a treat to be able to watch them and feel so American! Earlier in the night, we were able to see the International Space Station fly overhead, which was unbelievable. I have always been fascinated by space. :)
I have a SHOW announcement to make... my LAST show in California before I move!! Tickets are not available yet, but as soon as they are, the info will be posted on my Facebook page. However, I can announce that I will be having a "going [...]

Hello and HAPPY 4th of JULY! This is my favorite holiday of the ENTIRE year, so I am just having a spectacular day and I am even more excited to be able to blog today! I'm sure you all know that I am probably the most patriotic person you will ever meet, so I am here decked out in my red, white, and blue dress, soaking up the smell of Jack Daniels sauce on the meat on the barbecue, and waiting for the sun to go down so we can watch gorgeous fireworks with some friends. The 4th of July is the definition of summer for me, so... yeehaw! I love this holiday. God bless America! 
I have had an incredibly eventful week and looking back, I am just excited that it all happened. It started out with some at-home upgrades (technologically) that I will be able to explain in more detail once everything is set up. It is in regards to my music, obviously, but I don't want to give too much away until I have everything ready to present. Just be ready for some big changes coming your way... good changes, [...]

Hiiiiiii! It's Monday and I feel refreshed after having a week to relax! Summer is in full swing and I am enjoying the sun and long, lazy days until I have to get ready for the big move. This blog post is probably not going to be as exciting as last week's, with graduation, the trip to Nashville, and Belmont's orientation, but I promise to update you and make it as enjoyable as possible! :)
First of all, I want to extend a HUGE congratulations to my good friend and incredible artist, Kelsie Martin, who starred in an episode of MTV's Made last week, where she won the opportunity to release a single produced and distributed by Grammy award winning producers! I probably messed up those details, but the major point is that Kelsie won a HUGE opportunity... and you should all go buy both of her iTunes singles now! 'Empty Ocean' is the song that won on MTV... so go search 'Kelsie Martin' on iTunes and support her! 
I released my most recent record, 'It Starts Today' a few weeks ago, but this [...]
