Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Four - "Night Flights and Fireworks"

We decided to stay at the cabin mostly today. James and I rode our bikes into town where he got a new hunting hat from a shop called Storm'n Normans and I found a cute skirt from a shop called Beachcombers.  We came back to the cabin and then we all spent the day reading it was really nice.
 It is amazing to me how a book transports you to another world. I love it, I have been reading books for as long as I can remember and now I am working my way through the classics. When people ask me what my favorite book is I can never tell them, I can't even tell them what my favorite genre is. It is kinda like when someone asks me what my favorite song is and I am like "Depends on what day you ask me." I really have my family to thank for my love of books and reading, my mom taught me to read when I was young and helped me find books I was interested in. Dad and Mom both have been there when I needed a new book to read or a new type of book. Anyway back to the trip....
 After reading all day we had dinner and then went to see the night fight on the board walk. There where these kites with lights on them. It looked really cool and after the night flight there was a spectacular fireworks show and when we came back to the cabin my Aunt and Uncle had arrived to spend the rest of the trip with us. ( My apologies for this post being short and boring but I didn't want to skip from one to the next my brain was having a tough time with it.)

    Love swing dancing on the boardwalk. Too bad there were so many people, I'd have liked to do it longer. :-)

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...

A Quick Update and Some New Years Encouragement

Kamola looks great in the snow Guys! I haven't done a blog post in so long. Partly due to the craziness of college life, as fall quarter was insanely busy and partly due to my laptop acting out last quarter. Anyway, now I am back and on a working computer. Happy New Year everyone! Hope the holidays were spent with loved ones and were a restful time for all. I really enjoyed being home for a few weeks. My family and I had a lovely Christmas spending time together and focusing on what really matters. For me it was a time to reflect on how blessed I am and what God is doing in my life. Fall quarter was extremely busy. I took sixteen credits and was apart of a production of The Nutcracker.   Through that experience I learned not only technical dance skills, but also that bullies can still exist, even in adults. Working with difficult people is sometimes just apart of life. Overall the good that accompanied that show out weighed the bad and I am thankful for the experience. ...
