I have to say that tonight my little sister Abby was the best prairie girl Ellen to ever perform in any rendition of Oklahoma! She was amazing. Seeing as that the whole cast was between the ages of 11 and 14, I didn’t really know what to expect. Disaster or not, it was bound to be entertaining, but they were really good! Not that I’m biased, but Abby was the most fantastic. She delivered her line perfectly and then nailed her solo part in “Out of Your Dreams.” The whole performance she acted her heart out for us, and I couldn’t have been prouder.And you know you’re in Nashville when Faith Hill congratulates you by name on your performance (Abby and her daughter are in the same grade). I had to play it cool for my sister’s sake, but I so wanted to blurt out, “Oh my God, Faith Hill just totally congratulated you! That was so awesome, right? Right?!” What was really so awesome was that my being there meant so much to Abby. That felt pretty special. I hope she remembers that I was there when the winds came sweepin’ down the plains when she wins an Oscar.

Precious. And yes, having Faith Hill compliment you is INCREDIBLY cool. So glad you were able to be there for it! Those kinds of things make it hard to move (at least for me)!
