Day Nine.. and I don't care who knows it!

Day Nine: Some one I want to meet... Well This one was a breeze for me.. there is someone I've ALWAYS wanted to be best friends with from the first time I heard her.. She's beautiful, she's talented, she's someone I want to be like. I don't know her personally (obviously) but Amy Grant has always been my favorite "famous person". She was my first concert ever!! I was 8ish.. maybe 10? Or it could have something to do with her living in and being from Nashville, I do love it so. But either way, I have never faltered in having her as my all time favorite artist. From her pop days with Baby Baby, to now as she rings old hymns and writes songs like them, I never fail to relate to her songs. I have read her book Mosaic and feel connected to her though her stories. I pick up the book anytime I feel like I've drifted from my past and need a reminder of the simplicity life is meant to have. I think that's why I just love her so much, I see this kind of simplicity in who she is, even though she is a professional musician, who I'm sure makes LOTS of $$$.. she has roots and stays grounded in them, (or so it seems, from the outside looking in).
This is from her new album.. I love this song :)

there were only 3 people in my life that inspired me to dream of having curly hair and to do anything to make it happen... Amy is one of them :)

I just get amazed at the simplicity of her beauty.. (which I'll admit could just be one heck of a make up job)

I totally dug that she married Vince! They just fit!

I *heart* her! :)

One day, one of those benefit concerts I told you about.. the ones my family and I will be hosting twice a year in our large country home.. Well, She's going to be there... and she'll just fall in love with us and want to be my Bff.. I have believed this whole-heartedly all of my life... and it will come true... I know it.
