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
