    hello all!

     

    im sitting at the Austin Int'l Airport and theres free internet! woohoo! im using jackies computer because im saving my battery for the plane to fuel my secret gaming obsession.. i mean.... what? haha whoa! whats goin on... anyways, this weekend was a BLAST!!! my last little time off before i start a crazy radio tour and it was perfecttt. i flew into dallas friday night and went out to eat with alot of friends and family and it was a pretty charged friday night because the first game at the new cowboys stadium was the next day! i wanna go to game there soon, sounds unbelievable! after dinner i went home and tried to put together something for the wedding.. it was hard.. haha me and my brother share alot of clothes and shoes and so we had to coordinate with eachother... didnt have enough belts... stuff like that. haha but i got something put together and we left dallas at 6am. the reason for this was that we where spending the day on a huge barge on lake travis with the wedding party! I LOVE BOATS! i rarely get to go on one so this was very very excting!!! haha it was 2 stories and had a slide and man, what a blast! i havent spent much time in austin but it is beautiful, we drove through rolling hills the whole way to the lake and i was ready to move there. haha  after the lake everybody went home and got washed up and we met up with the wedding party after their rehearsal dinner at a place called the oasis, an amazing spot on the lake! so great and we spent the evening giving gifts and hearing speeches. it was really a beautiful night, so many lovely people! uh oh... their boarding the plane gotta wrap this up fast! theres not much left anyways... so sunday i slept in! it was much needed i was runnin on a few days of little sleep from the video and stuff and i was starting to get a little sick! so sunday i recovered. we went on a hunt for food because we had to leave in an hour and a half and it turned into a pretty comical journey... lets just say my dad is a great chauffeur.. haha he said he saw a whataburger earlier... turned out to be a weinershnitzel. haha and i have no idea how to spell that... haha ok and then the wedding was beautiful at a castle at the top of some hills, beautiful view! sang somewhere overthe rainbow while the bridesmaids walked in(they where planning to walk into my recording because originaly i wasnt going to be able to attend so this was an exciting surprise!) had a killer reception, danced all night! there where lots of colombians so we where dancing to the good stuff! haha I HAD THE BEST WEEKEND EVER! and now i gotta get on a plane... starting rehearsals/ more tryouts tomorrow!

Jason, thank you for sharing your wedding story. Sounds like you had a blast. I have a question for you though. Were you at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Austin on September 6th, about 1:30 pm on the 4th floor? Reason I am asking is because my daughter, my husband and I were returning from our soccer tournament and when the elevator doors opened to the 4th floor, there you were. Or at least we think it was you. Not sure, that is why I am asking. Neither of us had the guts to go over and ask if it was you or not. So if you could answer this I would greatly appreciate it. Good luck with your music career, you are an awesome singer.

I would've killed to have you singing at my wedding! but then of course my hubby probably wouldn't have gotten the attention he deserved! haha and by the way its spelled wiener schnitzel and its gooood stuff. I love germany food =]

Did I just read that you were dancing the whole nite???!?! Please tell me someone took a video or even photos of that scenerio for us to see... hahahaha I'm absolutely sure you had some interesting moves!! It must have been a lovely surprise for the bride to be walking down the aisle whilst you were singing SOTR.... So glad you were able to make it to the wedding and enjoy some time w/ ur family & close friends! So, its back to reality.... Work, work and more work!

Thanks so much for sharing your weekend with us, Jason - sounds like it was awesome! The pics of you & your family & the wedding location were beautiful - & you & Michael looked just great, even if you had a hard time putting something together! :) What a cool surprise that you sang Over the Rainbow for the wedding party - a wonderful gift that they'll always remember. You & Michael & Jackie are so thoughtful & generous to share it all with us with your blog, pics & tweets - thanks again! Best of luck with the radio tour, & with the rehearsals & tryouts. Can't wait to hear Let's Just Fall in Love Again in heavy rotation!! :)

Ah, thanks so much for the re-cap, Jason! Between all the tweets and the twitpics I really felt like I was there : ) You and your family looked fantastic, btw... I'm sure that neither the bride nor groom will ever forget your performance of SOTR on their wedding day...what a lovely gift you've given them. A magical wedding memory that will last a lifetime.

Dear Jason: love the blog. Love the sneak peak into your great weekend! I loved how you performed "Over the Rainbow" during the wedding. I bet it was a beautiful rendition.

Hey Jason, It sounds like you had an awesome, well deserved, weekend with family and friends. Thank you for sharing just a bit of it with us, (beautiful pictures, btw.) I love weddings. Receptions are usually another story, haha, but your smiling face combined with good music would definitely liven things up in my book :-) Have safe travels and good luck with your rehearsals and tryouts!

Thanks, Jason... I'm sure it was my tweet to Jackie that prompted this blog (ah, yes, I think highly of myself :-P) ... anyway, love your blog... can't wait to see you at the Texas State Fair on the 25th... Keep us posted on the radio tour... I'm always so amazed and warmed by this mutual admiration society we have going on here... BeckyVee

Thanks for the update Jason. You always make me smile. What a lucky couple to have you sing SOTR for them. I'm so glad you are able to still have a "life" outside of your exciting career. Thanks again for everything you do for your fans. Looking forward to that radio tour with the "ummm, yea & wuhyell" moments. Love ya.

Aaawww Jason thanks for your blog post. That was great and chatty and somewhat detailed. I say somewhat because you never said what you ate at Weinershnitzel (dunno how to spell that one either) Ha ha. So glad you had a great weekend. You have been working hard and it is very much appreciated by us, your loyal fans. And while you so needed the special time with family and friends, you still managed to share it with us. Thank you Jason. You are the greatest. Good luck on rehearsals and tryouts.....good luck on your radio tour.

Jason, I think that's the longest blog you've ever written.. haha. Love it! So glad you had a chance to spend a fun time with your family before the radio tour. Can't wait to hear the single on the radio here in the Northeast. Good luck with the tour and tweet,tweet,tweet your little heart out! :) mwah!
