Hi! Nicole and Clint!
Wow! this is so great. I've thought of visiting here and listening to this, and finally I did. I wish I had done this earlier. This is such a great listening material. I just listened to the #7, but I think I should catch up on all, #1 through #6.
Thank you so much for making this.

And by the way, Nicole, your voice is so clear and beautiful and Clint's voice is very very relaxing!^^ I love both two.
