Prologue I love you I love you, family. Dad, because you are my biggest fan, and I will never tire of the way you smile when I pick up a guitar and start playing. Mom, for being my best friend and trusted companion, even back when you were my only friend. That was so cool. Austin, my little brother, for being so much braver than I could ever hope to be. My Aunt Alison, for being such a beautiful person. My aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family (even ones I didn’t know I had) for making Thanksgiving something someone should write a book about. I love my mom and dad’s friends, who have been so supportive (and loud at my concerts). I love my girlfriends. Abigail, I love you because you are my best friend in the entire world. I can’t wait to room together when we’re 65 and wrinkled and living in Minnesota. I love Ally, Kelsey, Kathryn, Jeff, Clay, and all of my amazing friends from Hendersonville. Britany Maack for being my first friend, I miss you! I love everyone who helped make this album. Scott Borchetta for believing in me and doing something about it. Shake and bake, Radioman.

I LOVE RADIO because I haven’t met a single person that I don’t consider a friend. I love all of my Myspace friends for being so actively involved in what I do, I will never forget how you supported me from the beginning. I love everyone who has inspired me to write a song, whether they know it or not. I love everyone who has turned up the volume when my song has come on the radio, everyone who has bought this album. To everyone who sings my songs when I play them live. To anyone who has ever requested my song on the radio, or even remembered my name. If you ever see me in public, I want to meet you.
