Greetings from Nashville. I got down here last night. Josh is working right now so I'm just hanging out at the hotel today. He was afraid I'd be bored but I've mapped my day out. I'm surfing the net/blogging this morning and watching mindless television. After lunch I'm going to use the hotel gym and then the pool. It's so nice to just relax after my torturous summer session at school!

Tonight we are going out to dinner with my grandparents. I'm not sure where we're going yet. I was supposed to spend today with them, but my grandfather had stuff he had to take care of so we switched it to dinner.

I was so happy to see Josh last night. It hasn't even been a week that he's been down here, but I've missed him so much. He'll be home next week for the holiday weekend but then it'll be weeks without seeing him. I'm not looking forward to that.

I met my dance parter for the competition on Wednesday night. His name is Eric. He's young but a few years older than me. He's a math teacher and a former gymnastics competitor. I'm psyched. That means we'll be able to use his muscle memory and athleticism to go far in the competition. I have a good feeling about him, but I'm not going to get too excited until I see him dance!
