My Best Friend
Eyes like the ocean
Hair like the sun
I have one best friend
And she’s the one
She likes to ride horses
She’s super cool
I’d jump in and save her
If she was drowning in a pool
She’s one of a kind
She’s real and smart
And when she’s hungry
I give her a pop-tart
I’ll love her forever
Or till I’m old and crazy
Cause by that time
Not...

Carrie's Coming
A blue eyed blonde with a heart of gold, an incredible body and an even better voice.. can you say American Dream? She’s country to her core and as an HTVer in the middle of Springfield Missouri, I’m a huge fan. She’s the girl you blare in your car when some boy breaks your heart and all you wanna do is dig your keys into the side of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive...

My Big Break
For years and years I have been THAT girl, you know the one. The girl that no matter what song comes on the radio or just happens to be playing in my head, I can’t help but sing along. I walk into rooms singing for no reason. I hum in public and bust my lungs in the shower. Coach Davis (or D squared as the HTV allum now refer to him) has predicted my future as a Showboat Branson Bell star,...

Cause Coach Cares
Here it is. The first blog from Kendra Edmonds of the year. Everyone is doing it!!! (excited face!) And we all know if everyone jumped off a cliff Kendra would figure there was a legitimate reason and join in a heart beat.
The reason for this blogging season… one jolly fella with a beard like snow.. no no not THAT wonderful man. Coach Davis! Our leader extraordinaire! We follow you to the...

Country road, take me home. To the place I...
… Which could quite possibly be back in New York City. Turn around, Eli.
Sure I miss my Chihuahua, Rory Esteban. And the thought of my own mattress, shower, and Jeep Liberty seem heavenly. But pulling into quiet Springfield Missouri after being in the most glamerous, lively, and historical places in this nation just seems a bit depressing. Yes, it is the place I was born and raised. Yes,...
If I were a boy
… I’d never take my girlfriend to Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant.
Today I woke up, in a pretty good mood. We got on the bus and headed towards Virginia Beach. I surprisingly slept the entire way there. And I guess while I was sleeping, Eli (our amazing bus driver) avoided hitting a dog only to realize that the semi behind us wasn’t so kind. I however slept through all...

Ugggghhhh
My camera memory card for some reason is “no longer formatted”. My options? Delete them all to format it… or not take anymore pictures the rest of the trip.
I’m not a happy camper. Or blogger. Or journalist.
The End. Deal with it Coach.

She's a lucky
So I think today it just hit me that I am a very blessed seventeen year old. In the past 4 days I have been to places I’ve only ever seen pictures of and hoped one day I’d get to experience… and I’ve got 5 days left!
I have amazing friends that help me through everything. Love me for me. Know exactly what I’m thinking before I say it. And keep me laughing even when...
Finally in NYC
So today we actually made it into New York City and SO many things happened that I have no idea where to begin. So I’ve decided I’m just going to list them off. In no particular order here are the things that a little girl from Missouri experienced in The Big Apple:
1. Subway. 2. Chelsy getting shut in the subway door and some random stranger turning into the the incredible Hulk to save her. 3....
Are all Pennsylvanian's Dutch?
“No, I think some are vampires… Oh wait! That’s TRANSILVANIA!” -Laura Payne. (Aka. My momma)
So we stopped in Pennsylvania to eat at the Dutch Pantry where we thought we were going to get free food because the boy that gave us our drinks looked shy and very intimidated by us girls… and Rob. Saddly he was just the drink boy and an old lady took our orders and gave us...
Silent to Scary...
So this morning I woke up and apparently was very talkative and slightly annoying (even though I sang “Good Morning Beautiful” to my roomates when we all woke up, which I thought was very thoughtful). Needless to say someone made a crack about how impossible it would be for me to not even talk for a few hours. Me, being the stubborn woman I am, took this as a dare. After slipping once...
They're Cool!
Helllooooo Chicagoooooo!
We arrived in this dirty city around 5 this afternoon. After an amazing bus ride full of gossip, secrets, coach almost flying through the front of the bus, and Brooke sleeping like a mentally challenged six year old. (Pictured Above!)
Relief set in at the sight of the hotel and anticipation of big rooms to breathe and prepare for our night on the town. But that hope was...
East Coast, Here My Shoes Come.
So our trip will officially begin Wednesday at 6:30 a.m. A trip full of once in a life time opportunities, stressful story making, drama out the wazoo and fun like you wouldn’t believe. But the preparation for the trip… not so thrilling. Actually it’s the complete opposite, terrifying.
Now I wouldn’t say I’m a procrastinator. I’d say I’m more of an...
