My Winter Wonderland

      I wanted to share some of these beautiful pictures I took for our town. One of my neighbors asked me back before Christmas if I would take some pictures of the frost and fresh snow. It was truly gorgeous out and it was a lovely stroll with the camera. Photography is becoming one of my favorite mini-hobbies. I love taking snap shots of the majestic art work of our creator.
                                              I have a weird obsession of taking pictures
                                        of street signs. This one is at the bottom of my block
                                       and is a particular favorite to photograph all times of
                                        the year.
                                                I have several pictures of this view. This 
                                           is Highway 27 leaving town. For some reason my 
                                        heart loves this view because I can leave and explore 
                                    the world, but I can always come back to my beloved little town.
                                                      This is if you take Highway 27 the 
                                                                other way out of town. 
                                                         Photographing even glimpses of 
                                                  this beautiful mountain is thrilling. When 
                                            the mist rolls off it, it looks magical. Like out of 
                                            a storybook. 
                                           This is my neighbors barn. This is probably the 
                                         most photographed barn in the history of  barns. I 
                                        am one of the many photographers that fall in love 
                                      with this barn, no matter what the photos always look 
                                     like calendar shots. 

                                         City hall decked out in all of it's holiday decor. 

                                               Oh how I love the untouched beautiful of 
                                         this place. Nobody's touched it, clear, smooth snow
                                        with God's light shinning. 
                                                      This one has no subject except the 
                                                  vast landscape that surrounds our town. 

                                                     This is one of my four icicle pictures. 
                                                  the sunlight melted the ice ever so slightly
                                                so that the lens caught the drips nicely. 
                                                     The lightening of this one is exquisite 
                                              This one reminds me of a string of diamonds. 
                                                    Our God's handiwork never ceases 
                                                                     to amaze me. 

                                            This is the same mountain I was telling you about
                                          in an earlier shot. I enjoyed framing it with the trees
                                        and the bush in my front yard. This is my view every
                                        morning. How blessed am I? 
                                                   
                                                 
                                                  My front door in my attempt at an artsy shot. 

  This photo shoot is different from other ones I have done. I love all of these pictures and love my little town.

What I am Learning as a Student Rep

    Student Representative? What's that? It is a great  role that one girl and one boy run for every year at my co-op. Last year two of my wonderful friends were elected. Rachel and Jakob did a fantastic job. They are part of the reason I decided to run for Student Rep this year.     To start this road of politics I had to write a speech. I spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't phrase it convincingly enough. In the end I decided to state a few ideas I had and not over promise. I went with the idea that we could worry about the election and then go from there with what we wanted to do as a group.     It was a fun election and in the end I was elected the girl student rep. Luke, the boy student rep won as well and he is such a great guy to work with. I have enjoyed getting to know him and sharing ideas back and forth. Luke is so funny, smart and has fantastic ideas about what ...

Signs You Might Be Entering Adulthood

 The last month or so my head has been spinning with exciting life experiences, fun adventures and just plain mundane tasks. My first bit of advice for you on this post is no matter what age you are and people tell you not to try and grow up to fast. Do it! Adulthood comes hurling at you like a bullet. It is way better to just take it one step at a time. Remind me of this periodically when I want to charge ahead into life :)   1st Sign Adulthood is Near ~   " You Get Your Driver's License"   Getting my driver's license was one of the more challenging, yet most satisfying things I have done in a while. I love my new freedom to go where I need to without having to mess up my parents schedule. But wait...... this right of passage can be a trap and a sure sign you are headed to adulthood. When you have a vehicle you can now drive it will want one very important thing. Gas. and gas takes money, money requires a job, a job requires you to get to work, getting to wor...

Everything Fall For Erika

We are officially a month into my favorite time of year. As anyone who knows me or has been following this blog for a while knows, September through December are my favorite months of the year. I love all the holidays, weather, fashion, food, events, all of it! It makes me so happy and makes me smile. Here are a few things that I have been doing to get in the fall mode. 1. Fall Decor   My mom put this center piece together for our dinning room  and I am in love!  2. Flannel  I have had a recent obsession with flannel. I love wearing them with jeans, paired over a favorite tee, tied around with waist for jacket later, or under a sweater for a pop of pattern. There are just so many styles and I love how cozy and wonderful they are.  3. Fall Coffee Flavors, Fall Colors, and Beautiful Country Views  I am a coffee LOVER and I drink it all year round in many flavors and styles. When fall comes around my go to drink is a hot caramel...
