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 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...
