Good morning,

well today is the start of Christmas break from school and I must say..I AM EXCITED :) I am free from any homework stress or studying for exams until nursing school begins January 7th.

I have been going through MAJOR Clay withdrawal after seeing him in St. Louis and DC...thinking those would be my only 2 shows. Of course, one of my best Clay friends surprised with the fact that we are going to Merrillville! WOOOOOO!!!!! She even got us 2nd row pit seats..I am just ecstatic! The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways, because I thought there was no way this would happen.

I have been busy reading the boards and the topics concerning Clay's attitude and moods have interested me quite a bit. He is free to be himself and is just so busy with everything..that he is entitled to have a bad day or to be "moody"..we all get that way. I guess some just shouldnt have any expectations when going into a meet and greet or any situation where you do have close contact with Clay..he is a regular person and has his moments too. He is so special to each of us and I just feel that sometimes fans try to make him into something he is not and Clay himself probably gets tired of that.

He will always be just CLAY to me..a guy with a beautiful heart and voice who works so hard to make us, his fans, happy. That is it...no pedestal..no excuses needed to make him into something unrealistic.

That being said..I wanted to share a couple of pics I captured in DC and hope yall enjoy them.

Until next time and God Bless,

Heather
