Jubilee TONY Awards Party

I love Broadway.  The Tony Awards is the biggest night for Broadway, so how could I not throw a party in celebration!?  Nate and I knew that it would be the perfect theme for the first party at our apartment.  So, the Friday after the Tony Awards we had our party.  We had Broadway themed food, a Best Dressed Competition and watched the Tony Awards Show that we had missed the weekend before.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. They talked about how much fun they had for almost a week after the party! I'm so glad that we were able to throw a fun party and I look forward to our next one.

Titanic Costumes

This Friday, Nate and I are throwing a TONY Awards party for our Jubilee! friends.  We have a lot of decorations to put up, food to prepare and outfits to choose.  I will be sure to take lots of pictures and post them here!

Until then, I thought I would show you some more costumes.  These are the two costumes that I wear in the Titanic section of the show.  The first is my ensemble costume and the second is my Captain's Lady costume.  I have only had the opportunity to do the Captain's Lady track twice, but I am hopeful that in the next 4 months I will get to perform it a few more times!

News from the Celebrity Constellation

Here is a little update from Maarten!  He seems to be doing really well.  I miss him every day and think about him way too often, but I know that this time apart is making us stronger and prepared for anything!  Now, here's Maarten:

Finally, I get the time to send this mail! Things are going good here on board. It's a smaller ship than the Solstice. That means less stress and more fun! I am having a blast working on the ship although there is no second of the day that I don't think about Jessica! Traveling to all these amazing ports is great but its different if you can't share it with someone! I have been very busy getting used to the new job and it will take another couple of cruises to get used to it but I sure I'll be just fine! This cruise we had some amazing ports: Amsterdam (where my sister and my grandmother came to visit with Bailey the other day) Berlin, Stockholm, Helsinki,St. Petersburg, Tallinn and Copenhagen. My favorite's are Copenhagen and Tallinn. The weather has been a bit weird lately but its starting to get better now. What is really funny about this run in that the sun does not set until 11:45 pm so its light all day . Sunrise is about 3 am, so that's pretty cool. Next cruise we are going to the Artic Circle. I am looking very forward to that!

Living the Vegas Life

A lot of time has passed since my last blog post. I decided that it would be best to post some pictures of things that I have done over the past few weeks, so that you all can get a taste of life in Vegas! Here goes!

Nate and I LOVE Sonic.  They have the best Happy Hour in town, 50% off all their slushies and drinks from 2-5pm.  Our favorite is the cranberry limeade.  Yum! In honor of the last day of school they had 50 cent corn dogs.  It was great!

 

The girls of Jubilee were able to have dinner at TAO, one of the best restaurants in town, after the show one Thursday and only had to tip our wait staff. It was a great meal with wonderful company.

 

 

One of the girls in Jubilee! flew home to England this week for her wedding.  I had the pleasure of attending her bachelorette party a couple weeks ago.  We rented pontoon boats and went out on Lake Mead.  It is about a 45 minute drive and such a nice escape from the Las Vegas heat.  We all had a wonderful time and luckily no one got sunburned!

 

 

Over the next couple months, a lot of friends and family are going to be coming to Vegas.  It seems to be a vacation destination, although it never was one of my dream spots.  Two weeks ago, one of my friends from the Celebrity Solstice, the hula-hoop aerialist Leilisha, came through Vegas and was able to see my show.  Afterwards we caught up and went to Hakkasan, the hip club inside MGM.  It was so lovely to see her again!

 

 

 Without Maarten here, Nate and I have had to find other things to keep us busy.  Most recently, we found out that it is $5 Tuesdays at the local movie theater.  So far we have seen "Iron Man 3" and "Now You See Me".  We also decided to get back into ballet class. With all this Vegas heat we sweat like pigs!  But taking class again is so good for us!

 

We have also found the enjoyment of a lazy day at the pool.  My friend Lee DJs at the Caesar's Pool, so we went there and had a wonderful time sitting in the pool and getting some sun.  We also were invited to a friends 1/2 Birthday Costume Bash at the Wet Republic Pool at MGM.  The pools are so busy and boy is it hot, but it is a fun way to spend an afternoon!

 

 

 

I'll try to be quicker about uploading new posts in the future!  Hope you got a little sample of my life in Vegas.  If you want to come for a visit, let me know!
