Rockin' 2010!

Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 12:28 PM By: Martina

Hey everybody!

Happy New Year! I am so excited for 2010! I think it's kind of strange that nobody really made a big deal about the fact that this is not only a new YEAR, but a new DECADE! I say we are going to rock 2010.

Had a fantastic Christmas. Just me, John, and the girls. Went to a candlelit service on Christmas Eve...the first time in a long time we have gone to church on Christmas Eve...and it was really moving. I fixed a great breakfast and a big dinner for Christmas day and then we traveled to Kansas to visit our parents. Loved that. Even got to see some snow! Watching Emma and Ava nail John with snowballs was awesome. They laughed and laughed. If I can figure out how to upload video (Becky will help) I will post some of that footage.

Hosted a little get-together here for New Year's Eve. Just a few close friends, lots of visiting, playing some games (Apples to Apples rocks) and rung in the new year with a lot of celebration, champagne and hugs for everyone! It was a really sweet night.

If you aren't following me on Twitter just do it already. It's super easy and I check in almost every day. So you get a little behind the scenes or random thoughts....kinda fun.
Reading Half Broke Horses (a Christmas gift). Really great story of a strong woman. Read it if you can.

I am GAC's Artist Of The Month this month which is really cool and means all kinds of "EXTRA" Martina for the month of Jan. We kicked it off by hosting the Top 50 Videos of 2009. We had so much fun doing that!

For you Fan Club Members we just posted a new Band Cam video...Greg Herrington's view on the world of touring, Part 2. He's crazy and kinda warped, so it's entertaining to get a glimpse inside his perspective. Check it out.

Excited about getting back out on the road! Hope to see you at the shows. We'll try to hide tickets in each city, so check Twitter the day of the show.

Love you guys! I know I can count on you to help me rock 2010. New single, tour dates, GAC Artist Of The Month, working on a new tour book, writing new songs.....it's all so exciting!!!!! Hang on...it's gonna be an awesome ride!

Love,
Martina

    Martina, thank you so much last night in Worcester. You sounded so awesome. Brought me to tears twice not to mention the chills. Was hoping you'd sing "Love don't Cost a Dime". Perhaps in NH. I'm going to that show too. Worth every penny and Trace was great too. Can't wait till March, see ya then-take care of your voice. You got a lot of singing between now and then.

    Love Sean

    Happy New Year to you and your family. I just want to say how excited I am to see you in Coucil Bluffs on the 24th. We have an exchange student from Germany living with us and I will be bringing her to the concert and she is very excited about it. I absolutely love listening to and singing your songs. Hope 2010 is a great year.

    Martina i have to say music as always been a blessing in
    my life. Music is so deep, so touching, so emotional, so moving, so beautiful and so sensual to me, so i never thought i would fall out of love with music. Back in the late 90's i started to listen to your music and became a big fan... I loved that song "this one is for the girls"... (GREAT Memories)!!!! So My sister was also my best friend and when she pasted away,music healed my broken wings, so my colors could shine though and that is truly a gift from God.. 4 years after my sister died , I became my Mother's caregiver for about a year... Watching my Mother die broke my heart and brought me to my knees and in that moment i fell out of love with music. I had no interest in music for 5 years.. Then in 2009 i was watching youtube videos and i came across one of your songs and started to listen to the words as the music moved me and i will never forget how it made me feel, so phenomenal.. So thank you for your beautiful voice.. And now i know that music is a gift.... So i hope one day i will be able to see the talented and brilliant Martina Mcbride in concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Martina i want to wish you and your family a Happy New Year , as well as good health..

    Martina i know your in your 40's and you look beautiful,
    however, did you adjust well when you turned 40?
    I turned 40 on July 28, 09 and I'm having a hard time adjusting. My best years were in my 30's, although my sister pasted away when i was 30 and my Mother pasted away when i was 35...(i was my Mother's caregiver until she passed away). I didn't know my own strength until i was in my 30's and that's why i feel so blessed .
    30's Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
