Erin The Great

What a weekend! Is anyone else just ready to collapse from the crazy happenings of Memorial Day weekend?? I know I am!

First of all I’ll start by thanking everyone involved for making my Birthday memorable and awesome… it just wouldn’t have been the same without you, especially Jill who made the best on the planet (a package of mint Oreos that had been frosted to look like a cake and had ‘Happy Birthday Erin’). It was brilliant! Secondly I just want to say once again that the invention of Dr. Pepper in all of its caffeinated glory was the best idea since the invention of electricity. I say this because without it I’d be running into walls, and driving would have been quite the adventure… so would ‘High-Fiving’ St. Peter afterwards.

I’m beginning to really appreciate programs like ‘Facebook’ and ‘Myspace’ for the service they provide in welcoming back friends you haven’t talked to or heard from in years and years. I have recently come in contact from some of my good friends from back in the day. By back in the day, I mean clear back to grade school through high school… mostly grade school. Luckily a lot of friends I had in high school I met in kindergarten and we went through twelve grueling years together. The great part about this is the fact that these are the friends that know all the crazy stories from school and know that I’m not a lying sack. They know because most of them were present at one point or another and can attest to the validity. It’s so good to have these people back!

I’ll be going home to Oregon on Friday for the wedding of my good friend Kevin. I am really excited to go home and see everyone, and by everyone I mean old friends as well as the recently reconnected ones (thank you Facebook). If anything I’ll come back to Utah with enough stories to fill a months worth of blogging. All we need to do is get together and ideas just naturally come pouring out. Ooh, I really hope North Fork is involved. That would be great. North Fork was our local watering hole, and by watering hole I mean an actual river that has water and trees and various things of this nature… not a bar or pub, but I’m pretty sure there is one down the road from the turn off. Any way, I’m getting homesick just talking about it so I’m going to stop.

So, thank you all those of you who have fought to keep our country free and great. To the current soldiers over seas, good luck and god speed. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend.
