Music is everywhere in my family. Seems that everyone either loves to sing and/or play music.
My niece is one who loves to sing, just like her Aunt Holly. As she got older, she got even better at it.
She decided to try out for American Idol this year. She made it to Hollywood.
Last night they showed her at Hollywood. She sang “I Hope You Dance” by Leann Womack (probably misspelled that). I wish I could have heard her. I’always loved hearing her sing. People say she did really good.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying that she goes far in this. This is something she loves to do and really wants out of life. I’m so proud of her for trying to follow her dreams. Way to go, Hope. Go far and pray you make it to the top.

Wow, she is very good. I’ll be rooting for her. (I don’t often watch because its on so late and I get up with the farmers — so have to go to bed with them too. But I’ll make an effort to watch for her.
How old is she? You say she’s your niece, but you guys must be pretty close in age because she doesn’t sound that young.

Thanks Sarah! Yes, she is my sister’s daughter. My sister is much older than I am. There is a big gap between my other three syblings and myself. Hope just turned 20 ( I think) last month.
