You know I'm really not good at updating this thing like I thought I would be! I guess it's a good thing my dad is good at that stuff because he's already got some pictures posted at this link:

I also wanted to share a video of one of the songs we did at our July 4th Welcome Aboard Show. I was able to do Independence Day with the band and it was SO much fun!! Here's the link for that one too! :

You may want to fast forward through the first 30 seconds or so because it's just our cruise director introducing the song...if you can't click on the link directly then copy it onto your clipboard and paste it into your browser.

Other than that fun stuff things are about the same up here. It was REALLY nice having Dad's side of the family up for a while. I got a wake up call just about everyday from Dad, and for once I didn't mind it! haha It was hard to see everyone leave so soon, but I just keep telling myself it won't be long until I see them again!!

The shows are going really well. No more sea sickness. I think I'm finally over the hump and used to being this far away from everyone. I'm really starting to love what I do and appreciate more and more the opportunity God has given me to use my gifts. I know this is where I'm supposed to be and that feels really good. Don't get me wrong though, I still miss everyone of course! I've just made some great friends here...some that I think will be at least really really good pen pals for years to come if nothing else! I'm learning so much about myself and about the world. I'm seeing things that I can't describe and just imagining that God made these things with his 2 hands for us to enjoy is ....INCREDIBLE.

I hope all is well in the south. I miss the warm weather that's for sure! Keep me posted and I'll try to do the same for you guys too!!
