SUMMER BEGINS:]

So, since graduation I've had a great time. I went to Florida and did so many cool things. The water was so clear and beautiful. We saw dolphins, found sand dollars, and rode waves. We also went to a place called Gulf World in Panama City that had all kinds of shows with marine animals and I definately recommend it!!!

I've also been spending time with my friends and family. I went to to my Dad's and we went out on the lake with the Jet Skis. I thought it would feel weird to be on the lake again but honestly it felt like summer never ended last year!!! We had a family gathering and it was so fun to spend time with them.

I have big plans coming up for June that I can't wait to share starting with church camp. BigStuf, my last year to get to go :( Stay posted and thanks for reading!!

I will be playing at Biker Classic in downtown Jonesboro on June 7th at 6pm! Come on out and have some fun!

GOODMORNING! I'm headed back to Nashville today but also have my senior choir banquet tonight so it's gonna be a lateee trip!!! This week I have some cool things lined up. I'm writing,playing in Nashville,and also playing in Jackson at Casey Jones Music Highway Crossroads, and Memphis on Saturday!!! It'll be a busy week and then I'll come home, go play Little in Little Rock, then Graduate! Wowwww

Yesterday we had senior Sunday at church. I talked about how I was going to sing "I Believe I can Fly" and how that related to us all graduating, it was cool. I also talked about how growning up in the youth group shaped who we are. It was a bittersweet day.

Last night me and my friends that were on dance team together in 10th grade FINALLY had our sleepover together that we had been planning to do 2 years ago haha. We had a lot of fun!!!

I DROVE MYSELF TO NASHVILLE AND AROUND! I would say this was definitely new and different for me to drive 4 hours by myself, but the hard part was actually getting around in the city. Hey you gotta start somewhere!

Tonight I have my last school choir concert! Even though I finished High School early, my teacher still wanted me to participate, which means a lot to me!!! We are singing songs from Hey Soul Sister to Edge of Glory and she's ask me to do one of my own songs! I am planning on one I wrote with Amy Lewis called "Every Second Counts" (kinda fitting for the last few days of high school)

Summer is just around the corner and I think it's going to be one of the best ones yet!!! I can't wait to go to the lake, camp and ride wave runners! I have so many great memories and more to come.

Thanks again for the music video views!! Also the great feedback! Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvJB3hE_FfE Also any twitter users??? Mine is @KatyBishop12 so check it out!!! Also my Cd, T shirt, and other merch is available on my website www.katybishop.com!

18!!!!!!!!!

So by the title of this post I'm guessing you're seeing that I just turned 18 Saturday! It was a great day and my party was more like that of a 11 year old ahaha. I love being outside and just having fun. One of my friends bought a pinata. We hit it a good amount and it was really fun. Also my friends signed my shirt and we had a cookout with cake and games. I can't believe I'm already 18! I think my whole life and all the memories I have flashed back for me to realize how much time really does fly and to enjoy every minute.

Even though I graduated early my counselor is AWESOME and keeps me in the loop so I don't miss out on important things. This morning we had a graduation meeting at 8 OCLOCK ( I think I forgot how to wake up that early) and we also had senior slide show. The pictures ranged from baby to junior high to present day and I realized how sad it is to split up our class after so long.

Thank you for those who are continuing to watch and share my video we are almost to 2,000 views, it's so exciting!!!

My school choir is doing a pop concert for the end of the year and they have ask me to sing an original and participate in the group songs( if I can learn them fast haha). I am thankful for the support from my community.

Thanks for reading what's going on in my life, follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/KatyBishop12 or facebook www.facebook.com/katybishopmusic and let me know what's going on in yours! Have an awesome day, make it count :]

WOW! Thank you SO much for the response to my video for "May Be Love" and all the sharing of it. I'm so blessed and happy that I have the support!!!!

Today I am going out to a park here in my hometown and playing for my Mom's work staff. It's going to be a cookout so that should be fun.

Does anyone else make up weird combinations of drinks at sonic? I do for sure and one I tried recently actually that I was told about was vanilla sweet tea. Now, as a huge sweet tea fan I was thinking adding any flavoring would mess it up but I tried it because they told me it would taste like snow cream and to my surprise it did! So the last few days that's pretty much been all I've had hhaha.

This friday to celebrate a day early for my birthday I'm going to eat with my family. My aunt from Texas is getting to come in, so I'm excited about that! Time is going fast it's already wednesday!

Thanks again for helping me out with the video, here's the link if you haven't seen it yet!

MUSIC VIDEO AND MORE!

So today has been a special day...MY MUSIC VIDEO IS OUT!!!! You can watch it NOW by this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvJB3hE_FfE I hope ya'll will!!! It's for my song "May Be Love" that is on my album Find Yourself. I wrote this song with Johnny Bulford who has the #1 song out Lee Brice's "A Woman Like You" and Janell Wheeler from American Idol! I'm so proud to have written this song with them and I'm proud of this video! Doug Lowe produced my video and he was so great. Him and his family, the Lowe family tour.Doug and his sister write amazing songs. It was a great experience and I loved his ideas!! Please share my video with friends and family!I would appreciate the help and support!

On a totally different subject My senior prom was last night and it was bittersweet. Since I finished actually going to school in December it mean't a lot to me to get to go back for that experience. Our group went to the Butcher Shop in Memphis which was great. Then, me and my date/boyfriend Logan walked around downtown Memphis getting funny looks, compliments, and lots of trips from my dress. Once we got there we had senior walk and it was sad that all the kids I grew up with will be spliting up, growing up, and going about our seperate lives. I hope to keep these memories forever and keep in touch. Graduation is coming up soon which will be a even more bittersweet moment I'm sure...better start preparing myself now!!!

Another moment coming up is April 21st, my 18th birthday! That's a pretty big birthday but that doesn't mean I'm going crazy and completely on my own I will still need help and guidance the rest of my life, I'm sure haha!

I also went to Tin Pan South recently which is a songwriters festival of the most amazing writers and it was such an inspiring experience! I hope to be up there with them soon! Thanks for following my career and life events! Let me know what you think of the video!

Time flies and Spring hurry :]

This week I'm back in Nashville and keep working the dream and trying to make it happen. It's been a cool week I got to see one of my friends from Georgia who's also a singer/songwriter and who I hadn't seen in over a year. It was crazy. Time goes by so quickly. Sometimes I look back and wonder what's gone into every moment. I don't want to just let it pass me by and I hope you don't either. Things change and we hopefully don't change too much with it.

Last night I got to play on a songwriter round with hit songwriters Lisa Carver and Johnny Bulford. They're both so amazing and it was such an honor to be on stage with them. Johnny is one of my cowriters on "May Be Love," the single from my new CD. God has blessed me so much with my life and the people in it. My family means the world to me.

The weather hasn't quite made up its mind yet I don't think (haha) because one day it wants to be Spring and feel amazing like a trampoline needs to be in the backyard and the next day it'll want to stay Winter. Spring is my favorite season. It's the perfect temperature, my birthday is in April and Summer is exciting to look forward to. I'm not one for birthdays, but i'm sure I'll talk about that later on when it gets closer.

So who's been watching American Idol and who is your favorite? The talent is amazing.

I'm continuing my St. Jude campaign trying to raise money in memory of sweet Hayden Padgett, so please go on to my website (www.katybishop.com) and buy a CD. If you do, $1.00 goes to St.Jude. Or you can simply donate with the link on my website. Please help if you can. It would mean so much to me and I know to the family of not only Hayden but all of those who have spent time in St. Jude and will in the future.

Keep checking up and let me know whats going on with you on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/katybishopmusic) - Send me a wall post :]

Have a great week and don't let time pass you by because you'll look back and realize that you haven't spent it doing what you love.
