My family! (from left to right) Kona, me, Santa, Katie, and Kea. All dressed up for the holidays!

An early vision board for the book, 3×5 cards for the win!

Signing my deal with Forefront! This was a really exciting day! Johnathan Merkh, the founder/owner on my left, my agent and friend Kathy Armisted on my right!

I have so loved traveling. Here I am in Antarctica pretending to be on a glacier after taking a polar plunge. I was NOT relaxing; it was insanely cold, and the ice actually felt like it was burning my skin. I toughed it out and got a great picture though. Of all of the amazing places I’ve gone, Antarctica was the best by far.

Thanks for taking the journey with him. I so hope you learned a thing or two that will help you with your journey.

  Here’s my bus parked backstage at a Brothers Osborne show years ago. I think it’s the best bus in the world. I love the dark green with metal fleck paint.

We tow a jeep behind us to get around when we get where we are going.

It’s a double slide, meaning the front and back of the bus expands after you park. It’s really spacious inside. Joe Perry from Aerosmith was the original owner, he took amazing care of the bus. He wanted to sell it to someone that would take great care of it. I have happily done so.

Here I am posing with my EO group. We took the bus on a road trip. Young me would be blown away to see this.

This is driver Mike and my then-assistant, Katie, preparing for surgery on the bus. I hit my head and cut it open. Mikey wanted to clean the wound, and Katie would assist. Moments into the operation, Katie almost fainted from the blood. I sat there bleeding while Mike took care of her. So funny.

I mentioned dabbling in film. This is me with Jennifer Garner, the star of Tribes of Palos Verde. Jen is fantastic.

Here’s my assistant Katie, long before we ever dreamed we would be in love. Isn’t life crazy? You just never know where it will lead you.

Here we are working at Virginia Beach, visiting Jake Owen’s tour. She has always made me happy. I just never dreamed we would someday be a couple.

And here we are as a couple, many years later, attending a friend’s Christmas concert. Great job, David!

Exploring New York City at Christmas

We’ve been traveling the globe; here we are at one of my shows in Sweden.

And here we are in a snowglobe at JFK Airport!

I think… we are in Copenhagen here.

In my opinion, Copenhagen, Denmark, may be the best city. The people and culture are just so great.

We love decorating! We bought an animatronic Grinch to greet guests at our home.
