Welcome to Worcester …
Heeeey everybody. I’m here in Worcester, Massachusetts. We’re still having fun on tour, and Kristy and I went to a 24 hour diner last night haha. It was pretty cool. Today when we went outside to sign there were a bunch of Irish dancer kids. I know that’s random haha but anyway, it was a very very giving crowd! I don’t think there’s been a crowd that asked for so many hugs before. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so many gift bags before either. It was pretty cool considering people usually say Massachusetts is a pretty tough place haha. Also, most of the letters I got were just really short and sweet, which was EXTREMELY helpful when reading through. I really appreciate letters and everyone’s been really great sharing really cool stories, but it’s really difficult when there are so many letters lol. I usually can’t get through all of them when they’re really long unless I skim through, but today has been really easy to get through everything. I’m also not really sure what to do with all the bags since one side of my bunk is FILLED with stuff, and then I squeeze into the other side, even though I kinda like the little fort kind of feel it has. A fort made of gift bags haha. I usually try to compact everything and stuff things into less bags, but lately it’s been getting just a little tough since I’m finding less and less room for me to move in the bunk. But I also have to say I’ve been getting some pretty cool gifts! I’ve been getting a lot of really cool graphic, state, city, and target shirts lol. Then I’ve been getting a lot of nutter butters, bracelets, scrapbooks, and stuffed toys. So I just wanna thank you guys so much for being really thoughtful in each city! It’s been great to see you guys out there and with the crazy signs and shirts people make too! haha. But if you guys could just keep things a but more simple in letters and and stuff it’d help me get through everyone’s and try to keep as many gifts as I can fit in my bags haha. I think I’ve reached the limits in my suitcases though. But I do try to look through everything! so thanks and hopefully I’ll be able to still have enough time and not be overwhelmed by so much haha. Wow this is pretty long, sorry for ramblin’ on in this, but that’s all for now!
