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

 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 him excited to talk to my friend. He answered and we chatted for a bit and then he said: "So I was wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?"  Or something to that effect. I was so excited I don't remember the exact wording. Needless I was going to prom with a wonderful guy. Obviously, I accepted and we began planning throughout the following weeks. The color of my dress, who is picking who up when and getting me to the right place at the right time since I also had the first show of Peter Pan that weekend. Excitedly,  Saturday night, May 6th came and mom helped me quickly change from Peter Pan to a girl going to prom. We awkwardly, pinned flowers on each other. Took some pictures, waved goodbye and we were off to prom.

We decided to stop for coffee. When we got in line for coffee the barista asked if we were going to prom and we said yes and she asked: "Will you order frappuccinos, so I can take your picture and post it to our FB page?" We were like sure! So she did and it was really fun. Brandon decided we were going to be famous.  After that adventure, we made our way to prom.
Ready for Prom!
At prom, Brandon introduced me to all of his friends and it was fun to put faces to names. All of them were nice and seemed to really like Brandon. We danced most of the night and had more fun than I can describe. His sisters Gracie and Abby were there. Abby had a date and Gracie brought a friend. It was fun to see all of us doing our own thing and hanging out.
After prom, we had an ice cream party at Michelson's. It was a great night full of memories that I will cherish forever. I am so blessed that Brandon and I got to go to Senior Prom together. He made it so incredibly special and I am going to miss him so much while we are off doing our different paths at college. To get to go to prom as close friends and share these special memories together makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thanks Brandon for such an incredible night.

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. ...
