Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Six - "Go Karts, Wagon Rides And Stunt Kites"

It was a slow morning we had a fantastic breakfast of french toast, bacon, fruit, and coffee lovingly prepared for us by my Aunt and then we all went off and did our own thing for a bit. James and I decided to watch the same episode of Wallace and Grommitt again because it was stuck in the VCR player ( yes I know some of my dear readers may not know what this device is message me I'll explain) and we couldn't get it out to put anything else in. Before you knew it Mom had made popcorn and we were all gathered in the living room laughing to a man and his dog with a sheep rustler mystery. (If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. it is a riveting plot :)
 Finishing the movie we all felt like we needed to get out and do something so we all loaded up and went down to the Go - Kart rink where Dad, James and Uncle Rick all proceeded to chase each other in a circle having the time of their lives.

 Working up an appetite racing, we all decided to get lunch at this fish and chips place. We all ate in silence, before the guys left to go find some snacks for the cabin, and the girls went browsing around town a bit more. Mom and I even got to do a free wagon ride.

Later in the afternoon Dad took us down to the beach and we played around in the sand and surf till my aunt and uncle arrived and taught us how to fly stunt kites.  Thank you Aunt Alison for the picture collage below.

Finishing the day off with some Chico's pizza and a few rounds of rummy with James, I crawled into bed, happy to sleep and sad to be leaving the next day.

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. ...
