<p>Happy birthday to my husband. He loves babies, dogs, heavy metal, football, NASCAR, and his family. He’s funny when you least expect it and he’s full of great ideas. He’s a talented musician but he also works hard at it, which is really more impressive when you think about it. He got to spend the day with his flatpick campers which is his happy place so that makes me happy. He deserves the happiest of birthdays.  (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)</p>

<p>“It’s perfect for this slot head I built!” One of our flatpick campers who also happens to be a luthier, loves his new @daddarioandco NS Micro Tuner. Here he is using it in the studio, one of the unique features of #nashvilleflatpickcamp Thanks D' />

<p>I’m so proud of my cousin (top row, far right) Jessica Erin Judd and her organization Big Moves, I can hardly stand it. They are a non-profit organization that offers an opportunity for people of all sizes to learn to dance and perform on stage. And now they’re being featured in a campaign for @rainbeaucurves ! JJ and the Big Moves crew are super badass. Rock on! #celebratemysize #honormycurves #everybodydancenow #bigmoves #effyourbeautystandards</p>

I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my working life - I recently gave my notice to the Pam Tillis organization and will no longer be touring with her or Lorrie Morgan (on their awesome Grits and Glamour Tour). I must admit, I'm sad to be leaving. It's been an incredible four years and I have learned so much. Thanks to Pam, her amazing husband/manager Matt Spicher, and my bandmates, especially the lovely and talented Mary Sue Englund, with whom I spent more time over the last few years than I did with my husband. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it...
