  5. Hey, thanks guys----but I still want to know some unknown facts about you!

    A little more info: I went to OBU--Dirk graduated, I didn't.

    Cruising from San Diego to Acapulco and two other ports on Carnival Spirit.

    piano and vocal major--my mom was/is a vocal and piano instructor with a degree from OU. Still a passion of mine.

    4th gen Christ-follower--it's a blessing that's hard to believe! I'll share more about it later.
