it's been forever!

Hey All,

I know that I have not updated this think in an eternity. I wonder if anyone still is following? Well if you are then here's the scoop:

Christmas is in 2 days and it doesn't feel like Christmas to me at all. Being here is very hard right now. I'm surrounded by palm trees and sunshine, but that's not Christmas. I should be surrounded by wool coats and family. That's Christmas. I wasn't in a position to really celebrate advent this year. There is only mass on board 2 times per year; Christmas Eve at midnight and then again on easter sunday.

I am really missing church and really missing my family. But I DID choose this experience and for the most part I am really enjoying living on a cruise ship in the middle of the caribbean, but this week and next week are challenging. I honestly can't wait for these 2 cruises to be over with. Sad to say, but truth.

We had our crew Christmas party Tuesday night up in the Sky Lounge on deck 14. I got dressed up and danced the night away with friends. That was really fun I eneded up dancning until 4am, at which time they then asked me to leave. Hahah.


I will write more and post a photo a bit later, time for me to go teach stretch class.

XOXO
