Who Is Erika Anyway?

Hello everyone!  Today I am introducing you to my best friend Grace Michelson she is 13 and amazing. She is a accomplished musician favorite instrument saxophone, an very talented artist, and she always makes me smile. We have known each other since forever, and have gone through a lot. In the course of the countless years we have known eachother, we have done a million things. Family camping trips that started with our moms taking all of us kids camping ( Grace and me and our siblings) and now we all go, changing the camp name from mommy camp to Michelainen camp. More sleepovers then you can count, several baking days, days that we all went on field trips together, days we just hung out and did nothing but talk. Most of all we make memories together. Like, Sarah her mom sneeking in to her room at one of our sleepovers after Abby and Cora had gone to sleep and she painted our nails, like us trying mochas for the first time with our moms, like us sleeping out on the fort in the su...

Today's challenge was to post a picture of yourself 2 years ago. So here is me in 2013 at our local swimming pool in Tekoa.  I remember a lot about that summer. I felt very grown up.

  I have had a hard time trying to come up with what to post on here. So browsing pinterest one day I came across a blog challenge so I think I will do that for a while to get me going again. I would love it if you would comment what you think. Today's challenge was to post a picture of myself and a description of my day.   Today was the first day of a music camp my mom and I are doing to raise money for a missions trip to Seattle later this summer I am doing it. I woke up at 6:30 am, got myself ready, today was Hawaii theme day so I wore a colorful flowered skirt with a light t-shirt, did my make - up and fixed my hair in a half pony with a pink flower clip. Mom and I had breakfast together and discussed our plan of attack for the day. Then I cleaned up the kitchen while Mom gathered the last minute items for camp and by 7:30 am Mom and I crusied in the jeep to the church ( it was a short cruise because we omly live 3 minutes from our church but it was a cruise none the le...
