I haven't written anything in ages. Mainly because I was sick and mainly because I forgot. So, now I will write some random thoughts down from the past and now. I'll try and keep things short.
The end of 2008 and most of 2009 was not a good year for me. I got sick and couldn't really function properly. (As in, couldn't walk around, or hang out or keep food down.)
It was a really lonely time as well. College had ended and me and my two besties (Holly and Karye. Shoutout!) weren't living together anymore. Most of my other college friends were in other states. Yeah, facebook is great and all, but I need more than that.
Anyway, I was really just kind of the walking dead in every aspect in my life. Since I was sick, I couldn't go to church and that was the worst thing I've ever been through. A year of not going to church? Really? All of a sudden I was rolling down the mountain and landed in the valley (and then started sinking in the quicksand that was down there) When I got out of the hospital and had found out what was wrong with me I was really excited because hey! I get to do all these things that I couldn't do before. And I did to a certain extent. Every Saturday night I would say to myself, "Erin, you're going to church tomorrow," but when Sunday came around, I would be sleeping in with the rest of my folks. We tried a few places out but didn't stay for long. It wasn't until two Sunday's ago, that I made myself get up and find a church.
So now I've gone to church 2 Sunday's in a row! How wonderful! I know it sounds really lame...2 Sunday's woop de doo. But I'm excited because I know I will be going next Sunday too. No excuses, no fuss no muss. I'm grabbing the nearest branch that I can see from my sandpit, and pulling myself out of that mess. I'm starting back up that mountain.
So really I just want to say that Erin is back Ladies and Gentlemen. She was gone for a while but now she's here again. Ready to Rumble. Dreaming again. Awakening the passions that had been lost to her in 2008 and 2009. I'm on that road again, with my passions and dreams in hand and ready to face the world. I'm just excited.
I also have this burning desire to buy a sailboat. I think buying one and living on it would just be the most awesome and coolest thing ever. Living simply. Getting rid of all the junk in my life. (Literally) Being el cap-i-tain. Living on the water. Sailing wherever the wind would take me. Of course, I need to take sailing lessons first. I'm gonna save up and try to get that done this summer.

Out goes my post, into the void.
There you go.

How do I say this next part with out sounding super cheezy or extra sunday schoolish? I dont know, but I am just going to say it- I know seriously for sure that God has this crazy big thing that you are going to be the "El-capi-tan-o" of. Ever since I have met you, I have thrived on your energy, excitement, and extreme passions. You seriously can change the world with just those things, but there is also so much more in you then even those things. You are a blonde bombshell ready to blow.

Ok, I will stop before I continue with the un needed weird phrases. But I love you and know that God has this amazing plan for ya, and I CAN NOT WAIT to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are awesome, Emily! You are a great encourager. Hummm. Emily, the encourager! That could be a wrestling name, i think. Yeah, the post above made me laugh as well. I've been trying to get back into the groove. And it's going pretty well so far! :)
