The past few days have gone by in a blur. Lots of rehearsal for the competition - to the point where I’m in pain. It’s been 70 degrees here so on Tuesday night, Josh suggested we drive over to his parents’ house to use the hot tub after rehearsals. We went over there and I wondered if he was expecting anything to happen in that hot tub, but his mom ended up coming outside and sitting next to the hot tub and talking to us.

Yesterday I was sitting at my desk and listening to the song that Josh sang at the bonfire the other night, “Come A Little Closer.” I was kind of daydreaming and listening to the song when I realized that someone was standing in the doorway. It was Josh. He had stopped by the dance studio to see me.

He smiled at me and said, “You’re listening to ‘Come A Little Closer.’”

I am sure I turned all shades of red. I played it off as “I’ve been listening to Dierks Bentley since you sang his song - it reminded me that I like his music” so that he didn’t think I was just playing that one song on a loop. Thankfully, another Dierks Bentley song came on right after it.

He was grinning though and I’m pretty sure he thought I was listening to the song and daydreaming about him, which may or may not have been the case...

We danced our Quickstep last night and it went so well. I couldn’t imagine it going any better than it did. It was fun and danced perfectly. We were both really happy with the way it went. We are doing the East Coast Swing to “Dear Future Husband” this coming week. I’m excited. It’s a great song and now that we’ve hit our stride, I know we’re going to knock everyone’s socks off!
