Make sure to watch and let me know what you think. Thanks to Oprah and her amazing staff! My Mom, Dad, and I, had an amazing time. Thank you to the producer Jim Kelley!

Getting Nervous

So I really am never too scared to go on Oprah. The past 2 times I have been extremely excited. I must admit that I am really getting nervous this time. I don't know why, maybe it's because my best friend isn't going to be with me, and that will be a little weird, but I am really getting nervous. I know it is going to be so much fun and I really can't wait to go and play in Chicago again. I get to stay an extra day and I'm so excited to go to H&M. That is probably my favorite thing about going to Chicago, and of course getting a signature "Deep Dish" pizza with my Mom and Dad. It will be so much fun. So I know this trip is going to be great.

I think I'm nervous because for the most part, I have known what to expect from the last 2 shows. I knew what I was getting into, I knew what the story was about, and what I was going to be asked. I literally have no idea about any of that this time. I don't have a clue what is going to be said, who is going to be on stage, or anything. It's all going to be a huge surprise and I am getting a little nervous. I always like to kind of "rehearse" a little in my head before I go, and I don't get that chance this time. Oh well, I'll cross my fingers, say a little prayer, and hope for the best. Chicago....here I come!
