TEMPTATION Is Sitting in My Living Room!

After over a year and a half of hard work, I can finally hold my CD TEMPTATION in my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALLISON MERTEN TEMPTATION CDS

This afternoon I got a call that my CDs were finished!!!  When I had my first meeting with Sooper Dooper on Monday, they estimated that the CDs would be ready on Friday or next Monday. So you can imagine I was EXTRA EXCITED that they were done today!!!

I didn’t think I was going to be able to pick up my CDs today because the commute bus I take doesn’t run very late, and I wouldn’t have been able to travel to  Sooper Dooper  after work to pick up my CD and then catch a bus home.

But then I asked (more like begged!!!!) my cousins if one of them could pick me up from work and take me to Sooper Dooper, and my cousin Kristin did!!!!!  I will be forever grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got in her car I was sooooooo excited!!!!!!!! Jumping in my seat. Squealing with joy. Absolutely not stopping smiling. 🙂

When we got to Sooper Dooper, and they brought me sealed boxes of my CDs, I was SHAKING. When they put one of the CDs in my hand, I absolutely could not believe that it was real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I’m sitting in my living room, next to my CDs, absolutely not believing that this is reality!!!!!!!! I’m working on sending my CDs out to my Kickstarter backers. Once they get their copies of TEMPTATION, I will look into putting my music online as well as making the physical copies of the songs available.

Because my CD is finally finished, I need to give thanks to the following amazing people:

When I was a child, I dreamed of being a musician and having my own CD. Now, here I am today, sitting in a room with copies of my own album!

THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO MADE THIS DAY POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
