THE VIEWS AND COMMENTS PLACED ON THIS BLOG DOES NOT REPRESENT THE VIEWS OF MY COMPANY, HOLLAND AMERICA CRUISE LINES. THANK YOU

everything happens for a reason

So I really got excited today because Jessica, my f2 on the ship, (female dancer and singer) , I am the f1 (just singer who moves haha) we talked about our dreams and what we really would like to do, and we both discovered that we want the same thing eventually. We both want to create beautiful music and have some killer 4 part harmony girl band and travel the world....like Gypsy's. She plays and writes her own music on the piano...incredible. And I have been writing on my mandolin for a while now...and I am making it a goal of mine to get really good at playing it on the ship. I can play it well enough to write music on it...but I want to be really proficient in it! :) Anywho, I feel really blessed to have met one of my future band mates and we already have a plan to get a demo cd recorded before we get on the ship. And when we get on the ship, we will be able to collaborate more for when we get off the ship. Pretty lucky right?
I just know if this is meant to be it will happen! I cannot wait to get started on music!we are going to have a blast regardless.
It's so funny isn't it? Life is full of surprises....and everything happens for a reason.
I believe that God is always leading us to our chosen path in everything we do, even if we are not sure why we doing something, we have a purpose. Crazy.

travel bug is hitting me so bad

Okay! I'm going to keep a blog while I travel this incredible world for 8 months of my life with some incredible people! I am so excited, I cannot wait! But let me tell you, I am so grateful to be near home for once in my life for an extended period. So lucky to be close to good friends and family for a while before I go MIA for a while. It will be nice to be away from technology for a while. Hard, but so nice. So I will have to cut back on my texting and facebook addiction...eh who needs it anywho?
