Josh is sick today. :( When I saw his family at church this morning without him I just knew it. He's been dragging since he got back and I knew it was more than jet lag. I stopped over to see him a little while ago and I could tell he's running a fever. Poor guy. It sucks. He's here and he feels crappy.

We had fun last night though - but even then I could tell he wasn't completely himself. Our evening started off with the dance recital. I did a swing dance with JD to "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree." Then a little bit later in the show, Josh and I sang our song. It would have been nice to dance with him but singing was fun too. After our performance we ran backstage and he pulled me aside and laid a big kiss on me. So sweet.

After the show was over there was a brief reception. A lot of our supporters from this summer were there to see Josh. It was cute. He's got fans. :) Mostly - no make that ALL - of them are women. No surprise there. Luckily they are mostly older women and married and one of them told me she hopes that Josh and I get married. (You should have seen my mother's face when she heard that. Priceless.)

Then it was over to Angelo's for the Doo Wop Reunion. (I kept calling it that and Josh kept rolling his eyes at me.) The set started at 9:00 and they performed until 10:30. They mixed in some Christmas songs, doo wop style, like "Hey Santa Claus" and of course the famous Drifter's rendition of "White Christmas." Lauren sang "Make Me Your Baby." So obviously for Alex (more on that later).

I sang "Hello Stranger" and Josh knew it was for him. He was sitting in the front row with his parents, my mom and Aunt Lu while I was singing. He kept smiling at me and I was grinning non-stop. The song was just so perfect.

After my song Ron says, "So I guess a lot of you went to the dance recital tonight. I guess you saw that our Josh Anderson sang at a dance recital." Everyone cheered and Josh stood there looking at Ron wondering what was coming. Ron went on, "Who sings at a dance recital, man?" Josh was like, "I've been in England for four months - no time to learn a new dance." So Ron shook his head and said, "If you can sing at a dance show, you can dance at a singing show." Then he looked at me and said, "Josh, get your girl." They started playing "The Morse Code of Love." Josh looked at them and said, "If I dance who will sing?" Ron said, "We'll take care of that."

So Josh and I did our swing routine. He looked scared at first. We haven't done it in almost five months. I was afraid I'd forget it, and we did have to improvise a bit but it came off okay. When I choreographed that song I was still mad a Josh. It was from the very beginning of our dance contest when there were still a lot of hurt feelings. I added to the end a part where Josh is on his knees begging me to come back to him. At the time I liked it but last night when I looked at Josh as he was doing it, we both started laughing and we were hysterical for the rest of the dance. Everyone seemed to enjoy it but it wasn't our best work.

After the show we talked to people but I could see that Josh wasn't himself. He ended up leaving by 11:00 to go home and get in bed. I was walking him out to his car and we were leaving the restaurant through the back door when we spotted Alex and Lauren kissing in the back! Josh and I were standing there in shock and then he grabbed my arm and pulled me away so that we didn't interupt! Oh My God!!!!!! It's about time, isn't it?

Josh and I were going to go out tonight but I told him to stay home and rest up. I don't want him to be sick on Christmas. Instead, I'm going to go with my mom and Aunt Lu to see Aunt Lu's sister. Gotta run!
