Erin The Great

I was looking out my window this morning and noticed how sunny and warm it was outside. Since it’s been nothing but crappy weather for last 6 months I was extremely excited.

I love everything about spring. It’s beyond just a feeling. I feel like I’ve been in hibernation all winter just aimlessly wandering around looking for purpose… and then it happens. You see buds on trees, flower bulbs blooming and the sun shinning and then all of a sudden you feel invincible!

Ordinarily I’d mark this monumental achievement in the Utah weather by grabbing my bikini and climbing on to the roof of my apartment building and just worshiping the sun in the 45 degree weather (because of the altitude, the sun is very warm so you feel like you’re in 80 degree weather when just lying under the sun). Oh how wondrous it feels to be in the sun after a ridiculously looong winter.

This was very short lived when my head felt the spring bug coming on and I immediately sneezed. OY! I couldn’t even enjoy it for a minute before my allergies kicked in.

Well I feel invincible for about a day and then the allergies hit down… oh the allergies! Ordinarily I might become a little bitter but not this year! My eyes might swell shut because of all the pollen and I might produce a ‘snot like’ lake, but this year I’m still going to enjoy the vast splendor in front of me!
