Carrie was in the process of releasing her first album titled Some Hearts which was to be released Nov 15, 2005. She couldn't wait for it to finally arrive in stores and around the world this is what she has waited for since high school. Luke and Carrie had been talking about when to get married an both of them decided they wanted to get married Dec 8, 2006. That would give them time to get financially stable and give them enough time to tour and make a good career.
Album release day had came for Carrie and she was performing on all the tv talk shows like Good Morning America and the Today show on Nov 15, Ellen show on Nov 16 and then David Letterman on Nov 17, she was going to be busy but she didn't care. She had finished the American Idols live tour which started in July and ended in Sept with the other contestants that was on her season of American Idol.
She was going to get to spend her Thanksgiving Day with her family and Luke and she couldn't be more excited. She knew she had a lot to be thankful for and she counted her blessings everyday. She knew God had blessed her.
She was a strong Christian and didn't care what others thought of her faith. Underwood is a practicing Christian.
