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!

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

The One With All The Updates

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...

What Has Kept Erika From Blogging???

After the first night of shows I was so close to getting February's post in February. I sat down to write this so many times, but with a million papers to write for school the idea of writing more at the end of the day seems absolutely impossible. Which is depressing because I love writing. However, the homework has slowed down, relatively, I mean finals are around the corner. Anyway, I did want to update you on a few awesome things that have been happening in my life. Artsy photo that I took in the dressing room before the show.  First Distracted, the first CWU show I was apart of, went up in January. It went really well I had such an amazing, supportive cast, director, and crew. My amazing, wonderful, family and some family friends came to see me. It was an incredible experience and the topic of the show was one that reached a ton of people. I learned to play a character that was completely opposite of who I am and different from anyone I know which was learning exp...
