Well, sorry that I've been a little out of pocket since my birthday. It has just gotten really CRAZY down here! We are now officially working on all 3 shows everyday and my brain feels like mush by 6 o'clock!!! Today we began by learning new things for "Piano Man" - then did a run of that show...after lunch we ran "Pure Country" which I can finally say is completely finished (it is the first show that we've finished everything for so far)...then we learned the finale of "Ballroom Fever" which means we are about 4/5 of the way through that show! I find myself singing my spanish songs with a very SOUTHERN twang after running the country show first though, so I'm glad that we do 2 runs of the same show each night on the ship. That way I can get in the right mindset for that particular show and I won't have to switch gears at 9 o'clock! haha
It looks like we are definitely doing "Pure Country" for our official run on Wed. the 21st. Incase you weren't sure, this is GREAT news for me!!! This is by far my favorite show and all I have heard is that we would be doing the ballroom show for our run because of our ballroom couple's leading role in it... BUT I'm sure that the main reason the office chose the country show is because we've officially learned everything for that one, so from here on out we'll just be able to run through the whole show over and over again. Where as with the other 2 shows we're still not finished with them, so it's hard to perfect something that you haven't learned yet...
Other than rehearsing from 10ish to 6ish everyday I do A LOT of sleeping right now. I'm absolutely exhausted and I can't wait to get past the learning process, onto the ship, and into the performing!!
I can't believe we fly out in 9 days, over night in Seattle, and board the ship May 23!! We'll have a 3 week "install" which will be almost as tiring as what we're doing now because we'll have to get used to the stage and having the actual props at our disposal, but once we get through that part it's smooth sailing the rest of the way...
I hope all is well at home! I miss everyone terribly!! It's good that I stay busy because if I didn't I would be a mess!
Keep praying that my brain continues to function to the best of it's ability!!! hahaha
His,
Kris

Hey Sweetie! Sounds like you are working around the clock. Am so proud of you. Wish we could see you and see your shows. Keep up the good work; send pictures!
Love you lots, Aunt Margaret
Good Morning, Kristian!
I COMPLETELY understand how you feel! I completely relate! I remember what it was like to be in your shoes and it IS exhausting. By the time you use your brain that much learning tons of music, all you want to do is not think anymore and sleep!!! I am well acquainted with your brain feeling like mush. Mine even now feels the same way many days! You know, your emails are beginning to sound much like mine sound on a regular basis. That feels so weird. I guess it is just a sign that you are in the real world as a real performer!!! I'm glad that I am not the only one whose mind clicks off after a 12 hour rehearsal/day!
I will be praying for your mind to retain the lyrics, movements and your voice to remain healthy. You are wise to sleep. Sleep, good food and lots of water are the best things for your voice and mind. Keep it up. Your fans understand!!!!
It is amazing to hear you talk about flying out to Seattle to begin work on the ship in 9 days! It is unreal! Boy, what an experience! How exciting! I hope that you are saving all these blogs somehow for the future. Your children would LOVE to read about your adventures someday!
I am so proud of you. You are growing up in a totally new way!
Love, Mrs. Stricklin
