What is one thing that sets you apart from other Carrie Underwood fans? I just love her. When she cries on stage I cry, when she’s happy and glowing I’m happy with her. I’m a die hard fan, I’m always saving for the next tour and planning how to get to see her. I’m just a wife and a mom who slightly obsessed about my idol 🙂

Tell us your favorite Carrie Underwood related story: I had my first meet and greet with Carrie on the Storyteller tour in Roanoke Va. I was sooooo nervous! But as soon as I received my email that I had been chosen, I started to think about what I wanted to say to her when we met. It instantly came to mind. So that day when I met Carrie, I totally put my foot in my mouth by saying “I’m so nervous” her response was “Don’t be” mine was “that’s easy for you to say!” Man I instantly felt like an idiot! But I knew I was on a mission and I wanted to tell her what I had been waiting to tell her for years. I told Carrie that I lost my mom to cancer in 2010 and her music helped me cope with that loss. Some days are so hard but her music makes me happy and gives me hope. I just had to tell her that so I did, and she was so kind to say “I’m so sorry” I just wanted her to know she helped me during the darkest time of my life and I’m thankful for her. We hugged and took our picture! What a awesome opportunity! I’m so thankful!
