It’s pretty cool to say that I grew up, went to school, and sang with someone who won a GRAMMY! This was the first time I’ve verbally spoken to Sarah since high school. We of course stay in touch through social media, but it was really nice to hear her voice. She sounds the same and has the same sweetness to her as I remember. Congrats Sarah! You’ve earned it, and I’m so happy for you!
