Christine Marie: My Blog!

Hi y'all! :) I am back in California from Nashville, TN and I have SO MUCH to talk about, since I did not blog last week! So much has gone on in these past two weeks... I don't even know where to begin!
I graduated from high school on June 10, which was a very surreal event. I still have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that I am no longer in high school. I can begin sentences with "When I was in high school..." and "Remember back in high school when...". It makes me feel so old! But I also cannot believe that there are people out there preparing for their freshman year of high school, looking at four crazy years ahead of them. I was there four years ago, but it doesn't feel that way! It definitely flew by... Here are a couple of pictures from Graduation:




Marissa, above, was my first friend at Mater Dei!

After my graduation, we had a graduation party at my house with tons and tons of amazing people! I am so happy that everyone who came out did, because it made me feel very [...]

Hello all! I am sitting here writing this week's blog in the middle of insane mental chaos! I am preparing for my high school graduation this Friday, something I have been looking forward to since I knew what a high school graduation was. Then, I am jetting off to Nashville with my mom for a few days for Belmont's orientation, some meetings, and hopefully a show or two (performing, not watching! :) ). I hope I am able to do my first ever Nashville show next week and if I do, I will be sure to put all of the information on my Facebook page. Then, I will be spending the rest of the summer relaxing, making frequent trips to the beach with my best friend, and getting ready to move to the city I have dreamed about living in since I was eleven years old. It's nuts even thinking about it... I am just excited to be back in my favorite city in the world in five days. While I'm there, I also get to see one of my best best friends, Nicole, who is going to Nashville for CMA Fest! We have a tradition [...]

Hello hello HELLO! I am pleased to announce that my new record 'It Starts Today' is OFFICIALLY available for sale on our main online store. CDbaby.com is still processing the record (taking forever...), BUT our CD printer has the record available for purchase on their online store! Also coming soon, you will be able to purchase the record from iTunes and MusicLunge, as well as many other online stores. ALL links will be provided when they are all ready, but as of now, CDs Direct takes the cake! 
Instead of explaining the CD in text, I made a (slightly long) video with all the information you could ever want about the record... Including samples of every song and a little background on why the songs were written and chosen for this project! 


 


IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE RECORD, please please PLEASE follow this link. Scroll down to below my music video and you will see an option that says "Add to Cart". Then, click "Checkout". http://cdsdirectmusic.com/store//catalog/product_info.php/it-starts-today-p-128 Thank [...]

Late, late, LATE! This, I know... and I apologize, but let me tell you - being a senior at my school the week of AP tests and the due date of the senior portfolio is HARD WORK! I took two AP tests in the past week and a half and I have been working diligently on putting together my senior portfolio... I will post pictures next week after it is all done! :) It's sparkly... and country-fied. ;)
The new record, 'It Starts Today', should be finished printing this week! As soon as I get them in my hands, be prepared for a very cool video to be posted... more details on that next week, when I should have it up! :) I'd show you the album artwork, but it is not saved on my computer because we created it with the designer. So, unfortunately, you will have to wait until I have the CD's in my possession to see the finished product! I apologize... but I also would rather everyone see it when it's COMPLETE! Which should HOPEFULLY be by Friday! :)
I posted a new YouTube video last week and I would love [...]

Happy Monday! What an EVENTFUL week we have had in our world! From a Royal Wedding that touched the hearts of millions to a military movement that shocked and excited our nation to the beatification of Pope John Paul II, the world was shaken up this week in many ways. I am happy to have been around to experience all of it! I stayed up all night to watch the Royal Wedding (I have been in love with the royal family since I was very young, since Princess Diana died) and I jumped out of the shower in order to hear the news about our American victory. It was a great week to be a citizen of planet Earth! 
In Christine Marie-world, something pretty exciting happened this week as well! The team and I made the trek up to the CD production company to finalize the artwork and layout for the new EP and, well... WE FINISHED! Aside from printing and reproduction (which is happening right now), everything is complete and it will be ready for release in about two weeks. YEEEEEEHAWWWW! I am so excited [...]
