I met Raj and his wife, Anisha, last night. They are both really cool. Anisha teaches yoga and belly dancing so we had a nice time talking. They invited me to stay for dinner so I ended up missing the gathering at Nat's. I think it was for the best. I heard that Josh and Amber were there and that would have made me uncomfortable.

Today was my first day of rehearsal with Raj. We're doing a Waltz to "Sam" by Olivia Newton-John. He wasn't thrilled with the song but it was assigned to us. I told him I'd try to have more influence over future songs. I think he wants songs that are a little more current. He seems like a pretty good dancer so far, and he wants to win. I might actually have a true contender on my hands. I'm trying not to let myself get my hopes up too high.

I got home around 5:00 and about 15 minutes later the doorbell rings. Alex was standing there with his bags. He's going to be staying with us for the summer. He and Lauren broke up and he doesn't want to stay at the Anderson's house anymore. I swear there is never a dull moment around here.
