My Little Town

  I live in a little town called Latah about an hour from Spokane. I moved here when I was about 3 and I have always loved it. Here is a little glimpse into my small town world.
  1. Everybody is your neighbor not just the people who live next door :) Also everybody knows you pretty much and they are always looking out for you and it is really nice to know that.
  2. I love our church, I have grown up in our church and I have learned and experienced so much in that church. I also have created amazing friendships out of that church that will hopefully last a life time.
  3. The freedom to walk around town, to go for a bike ride by yourself and not be worried for your safety is amazing and I am so blessed this is where I got to grow up.
4. Our small town celebrations, all the towns around here have at least one celebration that has been going on for years or a couple years. It can sometimes be challenging to get it organized, but I always enjoy going and really feeling that small town atmosphere.  In a town like Latah it can sometimes feel like Mayberry or Walnut Grove.
5. The beauty, my town is gorgeous year round whether we are covered in snow or waking up from winter, or the fields are all ready to be harvested it is gorgoues. God had a lot of fun creating the palouse I think.
6. The memories I have made and are still making. Sledding days with neighbors,  climbing into the back of the truck with shovels and digging out the town, delivering May day baskets to neighbors, and watching James drive his peddle tractor down the road. These are just to name a few.
No, I am pretty sure God knew what he was doing when he placed my family here. I love to travel, but as of yet I haven't found a place I would rather live.

    I love this! My favorite line is where you said "God had a lot of fun creating the Palouse!" TOTALLY agree!

What I am Learning as a Student Rep

    Student Representative? What's that? It is a great  role that one girl and one boy run for every year at my co-op. Last year two of my wonderful friends were elected. Rachel and Jakob did a fantastic job. They are part of the reason I decided to run for Student Rep this year.     To start this road of politics I had to write a speech. I spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't phrase it convincingly enough. In the end I decided to state a few ideas I had and not over promise. I went with the idea that we could worry about the election and then go from there with what we wanted to do as a group.     It was a fun election and in the end I was elected the girl student rep. Luke, the boy student rep won as well and he is such a great guy to work with. I have enjoyed getting to know him and sharing ideas back and forth. Luke is so funny, smart and has fantastic ideas about what ...

Signs You Might Be Entering Adulthood

 The last month or so my head has been spinning with exciting life experiences, fun adventures and just plain mundane tasks. My first bit of advice for you on this post is no matter what age you are and people tell you not to try and grow up to fast. Do it! Adulthood comes hurling at you like a bullet. It is way better to just take it one step at a time. Remind me of this periodically when I want to charge ahead into life :)   1st Sign Adulthood is Near ~   " You Get Your Driver's License"   Getting my driver's license was one of the more challenging, yet most satisfying things I have done in a while. I love my new freedom to go where I need to without having to mess up my parents schedule. But wait...... this right of passage can be a trap and a sure sign you are headed to adulthood. When you have a vehicle you can now drive it will want one very important thing. Gas. and gas takes money, money requires a job, a job requires you to get to work, getting to wor...

Everything Fall For Erika

We are officially a month into my favorite time of year. As anyone who knows me or has been following this blog for a while knows, September through December are my favorite months of the year. I love all the holidays, weather, fashion, food, events, all of it! It makes me so happy and makes me smile. Here are a few things that I have been doing to get in the fall mode. 1. Fall Decor   My mom put this center piece together for our dinning room  and I am in love!  2. Flannel  I have had a recent obsession with flannel. I love wearing them with jeans, paired over a favorite tee, tied around with waist for jacket later, or under a sweater for a pop of pattern. There are just so many styles and I love how cozy and wonderful they are.  3. Fall Coffee Flavors, Fall Colors, and Beautiful Country Views  I am a coffee LOVER and I drink it all year round in many flavors and styles. When fall comes around my go to drink is a hot caramel...
