So Much

Okay, so I know in order to be a true blogger I need to start updating more regularly! So much has happened since my last post now and I don't know where to even start.
First of all can everyone believe that just ONE week after we went to Nashville, it is underwater! The stage where we saw and met several people and where Clay danced was ruined. Just crazy how quickly things can change.
Speaking of change, our new house is quickly starting to look livable! Yesterday we went and the lights and ceiling fans are up and the tilework has started! The cabinet guy was also there finishing our cabinets. Next week they start the flooring and appliances go in!! Yay, before we know we will be in and having a big party.
Lastly, something pretty big happened to Clay and I, but this time it was great news. We entered a contest a few months ago, like night before the deadline. We had to submit a one minute video of a talent so we did a mix of a few of our duos. We entered and didn't really think to much about it. In the middle of May we got an email stating we were selected as a semifinalist and we were against seven other people for the title of Epic Star for Norwegian Cruise Lines new ship. So we were excited that these four judges (that were people from Cirque, Blue Man Group, Talent Casting, and other VIP's) selected us as one of the top eight. So then voting started. The public got to vote for their top three favorites, well they turned ugly fast. It is amazing how mean, rude, and cruel people can get!!! I was so shocked, but everyone supporting us stayed so positive and nice it was great! Anyways, we were actually number one with votes, but the top three acts were presented again to the judges to select the actually winner. And last week we got an email stating we were picked as the EPIC STAR!!! We were so excited! So now we leave in a week to fly to NYC for all expense paid inaugural cruise with some more VIP's and we get to perform! And the best part for Clay, Reba will be there! In addition to this cruise we also get an additional 7 night cruise as well which is going to be so much fun!
We having had much of a summer vacation yet though. We just finished up CCC Summer Camp with an awesome staff this year! And now tonight we are heading off to Miss SC. Good luck to Courtney and Makaela, our two queens!
Now with such a long update, now I understand why I shouldn't wait so long to do this!
