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 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 Where I go to Prom...

 Huge weekend, everyone! I had the first of my last dance recitals and then I left immediately for Senior Prom. With my best friend since childhood. How did this homeschooled girl get so lucky as to go to a Senior Prom? Well, it starts with having an amazing guy. I have no idea what is with my face in this picture  When I was three years old we became friends with this amazing family. They had a son my age and we became close friends. We even did kindergarten together, we go camping every summer with them, we did band together and we took some senior pictures together. We keep in contact and hang out, but not as much as we used too, due to the changing seasons in each of ours lives and the busyness of being Seniors.  About a month ago, when I got back from Oklahoma. I came back from dance one night and Mom said I needed to call Brandon. I figured it had something to do with graduation and coordinating getting together or something along that line. So, I called ...

Walking on Sunshine

 Here is a quick little post simply because it's finally SUNNY and 79 degrees. Co-op classes were canceled today because of absences so sun day here we come. Mom and I decided to go for a hike up Tekoa mountain this morning because it was beautiful and why not when you live in the prettiest place on earth. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do a short post on ten things Erika has enjoyed about the sun and having a morning to relax. 1. Time with my mom where we weren't discussing schedules Enjoy this picture of me and my mom. I love her so much!!!!! 2. Coffee on a mountain in the sunshine 3. Laying in the sun and letting it hit my face 4. Taking a long shower and not worrying about a to-do list 5. Having an impromptu dance session while getting dressed 6. Wearing a tank top and sandals 7. Rolling down the windows on the truck and driving on dirt roads 8. Smoothies in the sunshine (are you seeing a theme?)  9. Spending time praising my Savior for remindi...
