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 summer, like me counting the days till she got back from Seattle when she turned 10, like Brandon having to climb up to the top of the play equitment to get us down because we got scared after climbing to the top, and most of all dancing at 6am in the morning to the radio in her grandparents milking barn when milking the cow!
Now our friendship hasn't always been perfect, there was a time where I left Gracie and all her siblings which are like my siblings for another friend and I hurt them. But she was right there to catch me when that friend turned on me. Grace and her family are always there.
I also call Grace my bodyguard, my sister, my friend she is always there, always has me and God has blessed me with this amazing girl that I am watching grow into a young woman. I remember crying in her empty bedroom when they moved from up the street to Priest River. But even though we are far apart now, when I get together with Grace and her family it's like we have never been apart. I love my 5 extra siblings!
Erika and Madame Blueberry The last few months have been crazy busy, full of adventures and the like. It would take forever to tell you everything that has happened, but I will attempt an overview. Since April I was a stage manager to an amazing show called The Lonesome West . I learned so much from the actors I worked with and the experience to produce theatre in the back of a records shop. Soon after the show closed I took my finals, loaded up my Cadillac (named Madame Blueberry) and left Ellensburg for the summer. I only had a few days to unload my college boxes and reload Madame Blueberry for my summer job. Camp Lutherhaven Camp Lutherhaven! What an incredible, God arranged summer. There were days I wondered if I was up for the job, but the people I met and the experiences we shared were irreplaceable. When I was at college I made a comment to my mom that all I had to focus and worry about was me and how easy it was to only be concerned about myself...
