70's Party - Meet Patrick (middle), the new B1!!
Dad trying to get a good picture in Aruba.
ATV's!! We had a blast!
Mystery Theatre the night of my birthday! :) From left - L.A., Morgan, Tait, James, me, Lee, Phil and Amber.I'm sorry it's taken me SO long to update this thing!! WOW! I can't believe it's been a whole month!
Well, where to begin. I guess if I haven't had a chance to speak to you in the last month then you may not know some of these things:
I had Dad, Aunt Margaret, Uncle Henry, & Uncle Larry come and visit 2 cruises ago. We had a BLAST! It was wonderful having family on so soon after Mom and Paul were here. I really enjoy having someone special to perform for each night! :)
We also got a new Boy 1 after Dwayne chose to leave us. Patrick is here now and is wonderful. He actually came to visit one of his friends in the cast around my first or second cruise, so we met then and got along like peanut butter & jelly. Since then we've kept in touch via facebook. It was amazing to find out that he was actually going to be our replacement! So, he's been here almost a month now, we have a blast hanging out, have a lot in common, and have a great chemistry on stage. We went through a rough patch while he was trying to learn the shows, but things are much much better now.
I had a birthday about a week ago!! I can't believe I'm actually 25 - 1/4 of a century! Hopefully this next year will be even better than my last - if that's the case then I couldn't ask for more from life! :)
We began our crossing over to Europe May 4. We had an overnight in Bermuda, which was AMAZING. It was SO great just being able to have a nice dinner, after dark, on LAND! Of course, they scheduled boat drill for 9 AM the next morning so that we weren't able to have a REAL overnight, but it was still great! After 5 sea days in a row and losing an hour almost every night, we should be in Portugal in another 2 days. CAN'T WAIT!!! :)
By the way - I have videos up from the shows - so click on these links if you'd like to see some!
Here's Fighter from City of Dreams:
Every Time We Say Goodbye, also from City:
And The Power of Love form City:
I only have 2 cruises left. Can you believe that?? It's crazy that I've already been here that long! And even more so that I'll only be performing the shows 2 more times each. I'm actually a little sad because I really love these shows and this cast is wonderful to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better situation to step into at the last minute.
Well I'm just going to enjoy the time that I have and not take one second of it for granted! I mean, I'm going to EUROPE guys!!!! AAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! Ok, I'm off to bed - this time changing thing is KILLING me. My schedule is one big ol' mess right now! It's actually 7 am here....technically... haha You know me, the night owl!
More to come - promise! :)

PS - LOVE the pictures from Portugal and Spain!!! AND Aruba and Bermuda!
The shows are awesome, Kristian! You become a better singer every time I hear you! I am so PROUD of you and your stage presence, your vocal growth, just everything... I remember the first time I tried to get you to put some expression in "His Eye Is On the Sparrow" You looked at me as if to say "no,no, this is not happening!" NOW look at you!!! That was a long time ago and you have come SO FAR!!! I am SO PROUD of you!!!
AND - it was nice to hear that you still know how to sing in your head voice and can manuever in and out of it whenever you want!!! SUCCESS!!!!!!
You are a terrific performer! I am SO PROUD!!!!!!'Love, Mrs. Stricklin
