An ode to Erica

One of my best friends, most favorite people, and one of the people I have known for the longest ever.... is going to embark on a journey on April 25th to Moscow, Russia.

CONGRATULATIONS ERICA! You will be such a great missionary. I could not be more proud of you.

Here are a few lessons I have learned from this dear dear friend over the years...

  

Go to the beach :) and don't be afraid to swim out  past the white wash. And don't run away from the waves, they will always catch up to you.

It is important to always keep your eyes on the road while driving... never singing as loud as you can, dancing as wild as you can, taking pictures ha ha










Always stop to take hilarious photos in the middle of no where on a road trip.

Always smile with a friend. 

Reach for the sky! Erica has always had the best ambitions and dreams. From marrying a heart surgeon and living in the biggest castle in Nellie Gale, to going on a mission... working for the Peace Corps... and going to Africa.  She has always worked hard for them and now she gets to fulfill one of them. It's such a blessing to see each one come true.

Studying hard in the library :) It will pay off... good grades, scoping out the hotties. You know the usual. 

And always be there for your friends. 

I love you Erica! I wish I was there to give you a hug. Miss you!
