Well hello everyone!!!
Thank you so much for all of the comments, they really make me smile when I am missing home!! Well it is week 2 here in Hollywood. The weather is beautiful, but still not beach weather yet!! So I don't have a great tan, but Im getting into shape. Surprisingly, Im not that sore which is awesome. The show that we are learning is called Now and Forever and it is a Broadway themed show. I got the solo for the song "Simply Irresistable" ... so sorry dad but all the boys go crazy for me!! 
It really is a lot of fun and it feels so good to be dancing again. I am surprised how much I missed it.
The cast is coming along and I am starting to make some good friends. My roommate is Eileen and she is from Connecticut. Pretty nice but she smokes a lot and has tons of boyfriend drama ... lol but who doesnt? My other apartment mates are Laura from Italy (she is 30 and really funny), and Shandelle from australia (she is our girl 1 singer and has the attitude to go with it). We will see about her in the future. She is nice enough but her personality will fill the entire ship Im sure! Next door we have Katherine from Virginia, and she is just a down to earth party girl. Very nice too. Jane is from australia and she is a sweetie. She did her second and third contracts with Caitlin Reeves (a girl we went to college with). So that is pretty cool. Kellie is from Utah, she is 22 and fits the same profile as Eileen. They are going to be roommates on the ship which is perfect with me!! Lastly over there we have Mandy from Toronto. She is very sweet as well and I think I will be close with her. We have a similar outlook on life and love and work ethic. She is a singer (just like Alicia) and she will have her own room, so it will be nice to be close to her. As for the boys we have Seiji from New Orleans. He is quiet so far but Im sure he will be awesome. He is very genuine and an absolutely beautiful dancer. Massamiliano is from italy and he is about 4'11". A lot of personality packed into that little man!! Always a hoot. We have Dale from england who is just very cute and sweet, who is boyfriends with Preston our boy 1 singer. Preston has 2 children from his first marriage who are 8 and 10. I guess he had a change of sexuality and now he loves Dale. Kinda weird ... but whatever floats your ship!! Then we have Hayden who is a bit confused and a whole lot of macho. He is a singer too and seems to be very nice but a little shy. Lastly we have Gerrard who is aussie as well. And let me tell you he is TROUBLE!! He is absolutely hilarious but will for sure be the rule breaker. He is 36 and just makes me pee my pants laughing all the time. He is so gay he practically covers you in it wherever he goes, but not in the flamboyant way, he is surprisingly manly about it. He is as inappropriate as you can be but we love him all the same!! We will be getting a ballroom couple from the Ukraine at the beginning of march as well.
Ok well again, thank you for all of the comments, keep them coming. I miss you all very much and know that I think of you all the time!! I am very happy and doing well so dont worry. Hope all is well wherever you are.
All my love,
Stephanie
