My Little Brother's A Teenager

Milestone in our home this week, my little brother became a teenager on Thursday. Now I could say James is the greatest little brother I have ever had and he is, ( he is also the only brother I have) Just kidding, James is fantastic brother we often get along though not without our disagreements. I remember Mom telling me the story of how when James was born and I went to see him, I loved going down to the nursery and looking through the window at him, however I wanted the pink baby (the girl baby next to him.)  It makes for a good story now and the picture below is proof that I loved my new brother.

 James and I have always had a pretty close relationship and I have my parents to thank for that. They have and do make James and I work at our friendship. Not that we don't fight or we didn't have that ruff patch where I couldn't stand him being next to me. We often argue and we often say mean comments to one another. However, I feel like we do have fun memories together, that we work at spending time together and we do enjoy each others company.
 I must say that James is often more patient and forgiving in our relationship. He brings me coffee on rough days, Hugs me all the time, even in public and even if I don't want it. He brings me flowers to my desk when I am swamped with homework to brighten my day. I am pretty lucky to have him for a sibling.

  I had a hard time choosing pictures for the last segment we have had so many crazy adventures. I am so proud of the man James is turning into he has begun civil air patrol and he looks sharp in his uniform, he also is crazy genius when it comes to inventing gadgets and things.  He is super smart when it comes to anything science and he has progressed super far on his trumpet these last few years. Here are some super dapper pictures of him.
                                                                He has always been a 
                                                                           charmer
                                                                I love this one Hunter P
                                                                             took 
                                                            James bringing me flowers
                                                                      CAP blues 
                                                                More of him at CAP

We may not have the best relationship always, however we are still working on it. We love each other and we have each other's back. Here is to many more adventures!

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. ...
