Rehearsals are going surprisingly well. I think Mark and I have discovered a mutual respect for each other. After knocking the socks off the judges the other night, I think Mark realizes that I'm an asset to him in this competition. On some level he knew that, or he wouldn't have requested I take Jenna's place, but now I've proved it to him. He's listening to me better and not answering the phone constantly. I'm impressed.

Lauren asked me if she can invite Josh to Vegas. I totally understand that she wants to see him, and I have to admit that I want to see him too. I told her I'd invite him. It seems like it should come from me. I'm going to call him a little later to see if he's interested.

I'm going to spend the afternoon at the swim club with Molly. Mark had a family thing this afternoon so I'm going to meet up with him again this evening for more rehearsals.
