Erin’s Blog

So I have been meaning to blog for awhile now but haven’t gotten the chance. But I just want to fill you in on the week that I have named “Erin learns that things are not always fun.” Wow that is kind of a long name for a week. Any ways this week I have learned that the things that I someday look forward to are not all sunshine and rainbows.

By this I mean being on duty. I liked being on duty when we were dyeing easter eggs (yes, we are in college and yes we did dye eggs…don’t hate). Shout out goes to all those who dyed eggs or just ate them. That part was fun because there were people in the lobby and we were doing things. Dyeing eggs is always fun because you can do all kind of things to the eggs and I was particularly excited because I had glitter this time. That was way fun. But back on track. While on duty nothing really happened and when we walked halls there was not on there. We knocked on some doors but even those people were not there. Then we went back down stairs and after dyeing eggs just sat there. People had gone and I was not in the mood to play ping pong. It was cool to hold down the fort while the “real” RAs were in a meeting. And it was cool to know that I could do something like dye eggs that could get people involved. I am still looking forward to being on duty and I think it will be better in mulli (nothing against Stu-B but that is just not my place). I think I will also have something planed for every time I am on duty also.

Another thing I have learned that is not really fun is that there is more to giving birth then they tell you. I love my new nephew and he is GREAT really but man was it a lot of work. There are not many things you would want me to list that I have learned but ask me about them and I will tell you. Now on to the happy side of this event. My new nephew is Avery Logan Tucker and he was 7 pounds and 3 ounces and 21 inches long. He looks just like an old man. But he is great. His first night equaled one hour of sleep for my sister and brother-in-law. So that is not always good. But we were also thinking he looked just like Peach Tree for The Land Before Time which is funny in itself. But that is all for now. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think!! Until next time.

That is a super long blod title…sorry about that. Well this is about to be a really random undate because I am in a particularly random mood. But I don’t think that is such a suprise. Anyway sorry if it is hard to follow. But after all it is my blog and I will do what I want…lol
Well I was just in a musical and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I love working with the crew. You know the people who no one sees. They are the greatest because they have a heart for what they are doing. The people on the stage sometimes have a big head and are very hard to work with. On this topic of the musical I had to do one of the hardest things ever in my life on Friday morning. We have to impervise our whole script and fill a lot of time. The guy I was working with started something and I finished it. Coming up with things on the moment is really hard. And def when you have to entertain people. I have a new respect for “Whos line is it anyways.” But one thing I love about it was that I did it. I didn’t choke or want to dai during it and I did it well from what I hear. Now here is the shout out..thanks for all those who came out you are the reason we work so hard.
The next topic is tattoos. I really want another one but I want to draw it. When I draw something I have to get it perfect so it is taking me awhile. But I really think it is a drug becasue you can’t stop. That remines me of “once you pop you can’t stop” lol. But really I am sure I am getting another one just not sure when so stay tuned.
Now I just changed my room around anad thought about how I am going to arrange my house. I can’t wait to be out of school and on to my life. The life where no one tells me what to do and when to do it. I think other people have more control of my life then I do. I hate that. I want to live a day where I just play things by ear.
Another thing I want to talk about is relationships. I think my life sucks when it comes to this area. I know way too many people who shouldn’t be in a relationship and go from one to another. What is up with that? Someone please explain that to me. Emily this has nothing to do with you becasue you are amazing and belong in a God driven relationship. But putting her aside I don’t understand why there are so many GREAT single girls. Are guys just not looking right now or are all the guys losing their balls? I guess what I am saying is I would like to meet a guy who can prove they are not all the same.
Now another random thought is that I am for sure reading the Twilight books. I watched the movie the other day and I have to know how it ends. I don’t think I will like the books but I feel like the story will be readable. I don’t think that was a word but I just made it one. lol
Something else I have been thinking about a lot lately is the importance of the Bible. I think it is great that I can read the Bible and feel like all the CRAP I have to hear from guys not believeing in women in the ministry is false. I read and I feel God telling me it is ok and that He is going to use me inmany ways to futher HIS kingdom. I am not sure I could go on if it was not for that.
This is really long and I am sorry for that. I have other thoughts that I will be getting out soon but I can’t think clearly in the lobby of my dorm with tons of people around me. Which I think adds to the random thought. Well until then……

Well I have learned a lot from chilling in FL. There are a few things I would like to uopdate you on now so I don’t forget the first had story of things.

• First thank you parents for not moving to a small town. I am not sure I could grow up in a place like this. Now with that I do think it is way cute here and I think visiting here is GREAT. But if I doubted it before I don’t doubt anymore that I am a city girl through and through. I like being right around everything. One cool thing here though is the ACE store. We went in it because Chloe thought they would have post cards which I thought was great. When we went in there were cards and pets and dress wear. Like you can go get your prom outfits there. It was really cool. I thought that Greenville could use one of those.
• Another thing I have learned is that churches in a small town are really close. I love watching her family and the other church members interact. In the non creepy way though They are truly a family and I thought that was great. Back at home people live far away from my church so we really don’t share life together. But here they are sharing life together. It is beautiful!! This is how the church people should act toward each other. I hope to be involved in a church like this one day.
• Oh and if you ever come here you have to go to Johnny’s. I have been giving Chloe a hard time about it but the more I go there the more I like it. We went twice tonight and I had even more fun. It is great. You have to go.
• Oh and that it snowed at home. How bad is that. I leave and it snows. Wow I hate that. It is cold forever and it still does not snow but as soon as I leave it comes down.
• Oh and I learned a new face ( :,  but he only has one eye brow.

Well that is all for now…I will write again later. Mom I love you and I will call you tomorrow.

So our school is crazy and we have the first week of March off… not sure if people know it is not spring and it is really not warm. But that is cool because I have made the best of it and headed down to FL with two friends. This is going to be a really great week. I just wanted to post a few things we are planning on doing so my family will know what I am up to. 
We are planning on chilling at the house for today because it is a little cold down here. So we are going to watch some movies. We watched a movie last night that had the guy from Juno in it and I thought it was going to be really bad but it was good. Really funny. I will get back to you with the name of the movie. And we have plans to see Taken and He’s Just Not that into You. I will keep you posted on if they are good or not.
We are also going into St. Augustine one day this week. It is going to be really GREAT. I am excited about this one. If you don’t know where I am talking about you should google it. It is the oldest city in America and it still has some of the same buildings.
We are also hitting up the beach on Thursday I think. Can’t wait. I love the beach down here. But there is not much to say about this.

Oh and when we  were driving here we wanted to stop and take pictures everywhere. The places were so creepy but they looked perfect for pictures in a scary movie or something. But it rained the whole time so we didn’t stop. I will work on that for the ride home.

Well that is all I will tell you how things go.
