When I first found out that I was an Idol finalist I cried tears of happiness. I was just so happy and my family was there and the fact that got to see that moment and share that moment with me was just everything to me.
In fact I was one of the few trusted people that Lucy allowed to play with their kids. I spent time at their summer home rode horses at their ranch and swam at their beach house. I even spent a Christmas with them at Palm Springs one year.
