Even though Macy isn't headed to Nashville quite yet her friends and family who gathered in the gymnasium today say they couldn't be more proud of here, and they know that fame isn't far away.
"To us she's number one in our books. No matter what she's still going to be number one. I mean, she's done so well for herself and we're all really proud of her,” said friend Sarah LaBarge.
"She took the news very, very well, and I knew she'd be o.k. either way, so it's, I can't just say enough good things about her. You know, we love her and we're proud of her and excited to see what life has in store for Macy,” said mom Carly VanArnam.

Everybody has a dream. It doesn't matter hoe old or how young you are. Without a dream, life is not worth living.
It seems like a lot of the American Idol runner ups were more successful than the actual winners. I'm sure she'll go far.
She can be very proud of coming this far and I have no doubt she will be successful in her music career, congratulations to her:-) Oh Rel, I so loved all the pictures in your previous post, such darling grandchildren you have! Indeed the moments pass so quickly!! xox
We are still rooting for her, she will have a career in music, I am sure!
If anything new crops up for her, please let us know!
Thanks!

I was looking at the pics below of the grandchildren...looks like a wonderful time was had by all....I had to laugh when you were on the trampoline...my daughter had one when she cheered....I got on it one day and had to crawl off!!!
