!WOW! Rachel, that is so cool! What a sweetheart of a mom you have there, you are so lucky! It sounds like you had alot of fun meeting your favorite (star, does that sound right?!) star. I envy you! I'm not a big country music fan, but I know if I would have gotten to meet someone that I like so much, I would be in heaven!
I never knew you used to be deaf. I've heard something about what you said you've had done, it's just amazing!!
Anyway, I just wanted you to know how happy I am for you!!!
