Life is a....

Well yours may not be, but I definitely feel like mine is one right now. The last month has been in itself, a lot of ups and downs for me. For a lot of reasons, reasons I am not going to get into, I just never know what is going to hit me next. Don't get me wrong, I am SO BLESSED and the trials that I have right now are still very minor compared to what other people are going through right now. I just sometimes wonder when life can be "normal" again for me and especially for my friend, Amberly, who is having some health concerns. Can't we go back to the beginning of the summer when all we were worried about was which day to go to the pool and planning play dates and library story hour? Why do we have to deal with "real life adult problems". We are too young for this crap. I am too young to have "bumps" in my marriage and she is too young to have scary, scary health problems. All I know is that my faith will get me through anything life gives me. Thats all I can hang on to. And I feel much better when I am taking care of those around me. So everyone, when I demand to take your kids or to bring you dinner for some reason, just let me. It's more for me than it is for you. I love all ya'll :)

Erin the Girl you're the best:) Things always get better.

And, on a totally random note, I love that you get to use the word "y'all." It adds so much character. If I tried to use it I'd just be a faker because I'm not Southern, but you can totally pull it off and I like it!

Life is a rollercoaster...i feel your pain. If only the rollercoasters of life were as much fun at they were when we were 14 and riding them at six flags over texas. oh to be young and not have a care in the world. I am glad that your parents are in Utah so you can get a bit of a relief once in a while. You can cook me dinner or take my kids anytime you want...just let me know when and where. :) xoxo ang

I concur. The last few months have handed me so many ups and downs. No one told me growing up would be so hard. I'm just glad we have an awesome family and great friends.

Thoughts of you and your family never leave my mind. During these troubled times, just fall back on our family motto.

Erin...i was just readin all these comments. And most people said, "I wish I lived closer". And was thinking they probably all wish they lived as close to you as I do. And I have not been the best of friend to you. I am so sorry for the distance that has been between us. I love ya and do care about you. What can I do? Can I come visit you? Please let me be apart of your life. I miss you! You are in my prayers. Hope you get feeling better...and your friend too. love ya!
