first night I was able to spend with the SAI girls in awhile. I am so looking forward to rushing, but I know I can't until this fall. Its too expensive right now, but I know I will rush if I have the money. :) We played poker tonight, and I did ok for not playing in a long time, however Justin cleaned the board several times. *cough* JERK *cough* *cough*. lol Becker walked me all the way back just to spend time with me....even though its like minus 40 out. What a guy.

trombone is coming along, I can almost lip trill now, I've been slowly working for about a week, and that is REALLY exciting. It will be nice to have figured out how to do something like that on my own. (well, Randy did give me a few tips today, but ya know)

Not a whole lot else happening, however I did receive a very encouraging email from someone (won't say who). It really made my day, and definately encouraged me to keep going on trombone and that I am making huge strides. Someday I will play as well as Colin, Kenyon, James and Randy. :)

Love,

Rachel
