The Big Move to Music City

August 14th, 2011

Hello from Nashville, TN.!!!

It is SO good (and exciting) to be here and, after five days, all settled in! My sister, Haley, and I finally made the big move to Nashville this past Wednesday (Aug. 10) and we are LOVING it already!

The moving process, as all moving processes go, was totally NOT fun! However, our apartment is on the third floor so in order to get everything moved in, we had to climb 40 flights of stairs… (Yes, we counted. 40. ) Needless to say, I can still barely walk due to my legs being so sore. No fun. Especially when you have two sofas, two beds, two HUGE dressers, kitchen table… the list goes on. Thank goodness we had some help from the male department!

Our place came together very nicely after a ton of hard work and now we are finally all settled in! Thank the good Lord!

There are so many things that we love about this place… everywhere you go, the people are SO friendly, there are soooo many things to do and places to go (aka: SHOPPING. There is a nice mall… not good for me! *shopaholic*) and the best part… the weather is AMAZING. It’s still definitely warm, but NOT as hot as Georgia and definitely doesn’t have the suffocating humidity. Good for the hair!!!

Now that we’re all moved in, it’s time for me to get on the road (haha… ironic) and get things crankin’ again with my band! I am so excited to get started back up and to play some awesome shows!

Also, just a little reminder! Voting for the Georgia-Country Female Artist of the Year Award is still going on and I am currently in third! I would love it if the folks who haven’t already voted, would go to the website below and vote for me!!!! It would awesome to be in first place, but still great to make 2nd! Thanks to everyone who has already voted and gotten me this far! I love you all so much!

Thanks for all of the love, ya’ll!

xoxo,

LA

   Everything looks beautiful, Lauren & Haley! I wish for you the BEST always. Having watched you girls grow up, and knowing you from Teamon Baptist as little girls, and attending Rock Springs and meeting up with your parents there, and seeing and hearing you the 4th of July, it is a joy to see how far you have come. Don’t forget about your education though–that will be very important for your future. Please know we are behind you all the way! I love you both. May God’s blessings be yours. Linda Hampton

   I was introduced to part of your story as written in Full Throttle magazine by Crystle Swygert. From that great intro I went to http://www.laurenashleymusic.com for more and I am now one of your new fans. I posted your page to half of my email list so others can hear your music. I will be looking for your album this week end. My family and I wish you the best in your career and will be following along with you. Keep true to your self and God. Take delight in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37-4. Reguards David Picciolo
