This summer has certainly had its ups and downs so far. It's funny how much you can talk yourself into something. I really thought things would be different when I got home from college, but they're not. But, I'm looking forward to the start of another era for Kelly. I can't believe a week from tonight My December will finally be out for everyone to hear. It feels like I have been waiting years for this music. After a semi-awful freshman year of college, I just knew that this CD would be something I needed to help me just release all the pent up emotions of the past year.

When I was in high school, I thought about college all the time. But this past year, I thought alot about my 4 years of high school. It never really dawned on me while it was happening just how big a part Kelly and everyone I met because of her was to the last 4+ years of my life. I've had some of the best times with some of my best friends at Kelly's shows or appearances and just because of her. She and the other people around me are what got me through.

So I'm ready. Despite the tour being postponed until a little later, I am ready to start another Kelly summer. I'm looking forward to seeing some people I haven't seen in far too long, and I'm looking so forward to continuing to show the Kelly love It started the summer before my freshman year of high school and now, at the summer after my freshman year of college I feel like it's going to start all over again and I am so ready. Here's to another 4+ years!
