RETIRED

2011-07-29T16:18:00.001-07:00

I found a little treasure today while unpacking some stuff at my new room. Looks like I'm not going to be needing this anymore. I'm officially retiring the shirt or willing to give it to a girl in need. If you're interested let me know and I'll determine if you're worthy...Please no applicants under age 25 (you're not pathetic enough yet that you need a magic shirt), and no previously married people (you've clearly proven that you already know how to get the job done, hang in there, it'll happen again I'm sure).

**************
And just to prove it works I was wearing this shirt last Christmas 2010 when Braden and I had our first kiss at 1:00am on Christmas morning or Christmas Eve depending on how you look at it, and now we're getting married. I don't know if it was the shirt or Santa but someone defiantly delivered!

Temporary Home

2011-07-29T16:07:00.001-07:00

So this is my new temporary home.....All my belongings are in a 20x10 storage unit and I am renting a little a room with just enough stuff to get by! The best part is that the whole storage unit smells like my house and me from all my stuff so it really makes it feel like home. Sometimes I go and hangout there just for comfort!

Say Yes To The Dress

2011-07-29T15:51:00.001-07:00

So we only have about 11 weeks from proposal to marriage so my mom and sister informed/forced me to try on wedding dresses the day we got home from the lake stating it takes 14-16 weeks to get a dress in so I don't have time to waste. I'm not going to lie, I was not excited about this and the first day didn't find anything I liked. The next day I had made some appts in SLC and Jordyn and I headed out on a mission to find a dress. Who knew it would be so easy? The first store we went to we fell in love with two dresses and couldn't decide what we like more because they both looked so different! The plan.....Thursday on my way out of town take the crew with me and make them pick. In the mean time I showed everybody the two dresses in pictures and EVERYBODY about 25 people picked this dress over the other one. Not one person picked the other dress and I was a little sad because I was leaning towards the other one (it just seemed more me) but hadn't told anyone. Much to my surprise and happiness once everyone saw the dresses in person they all hands down picked the one I liked! So goodbye cupcake dress, while I love the way you look and made me feel like a frilly princess you just didn't make the cut!
Sorry to dissapoint everyone that picked this!

Some Highlights

So most people know that every year my family takes a trip to Kalispell, MT to a litte lake called Lake Blaine. This year we were missing a few people that add to our fun....We missed Lauren, Justin and the Willardsens but it was still a blast. We're hoping next year everyone will be able to make it.

LOBSTER

YUMMMM......
R.I.P My little Lobster Friends

A match made in heaven...We both LOVE lobster.

Moving Day

2011-07-28T19:43:00.000-07:00

Goodbye ARIZONIA and hello ST. GEORGE, UTAH.

Packing was crazy. I didn't think I had very much stuff until I started taking everything off my walls. 4 years of decorating all came down in 3 days. I'm happy/sad to report that only two glass apothecary jars died during the move. I filled a 26 foot Uhaul truck and rolled out! Poor Braden had to pack the truck in the 111 degree AZ weather.

"Love Ring"

2011-07-28T19:29:00.000-07:00

Thats right this is the ring that he proposed with....its the Star Burst Love Ring. Our families didn't act too excited about it.....they were all expecting something a little more SpArKleE.

There is a story behind it, so its not that weird.

One of the problems with the "Love Ring" is that why it is really, really cute and special, not everybody recognizes it as that, some see it as garbage. For instance, the cleaning ladies at my moms house. 3 days after getting engaged the ring got trashed. Thats right, thrown right out. But after searching the house, the vacuum container (thanks jordyn) and all the garbages, it was found in the big black trash can out on the curb. Thanks Mom and Jordyn!

Braden was a little nervous about what i'm going to do with the real ring.

I'm Back...Maybe

2011-07-28T16:55:00.000-07:00

So I was just checking out the blog and it turns out that I haven't been here since May of 2009. Its cause a single girls life isn't that great....its just work, work and more work. But a little updated......

This is Mr. Cooper. 31 yr. old male, from Lehi Ut, tall (ok well not super tall but he thinks he is) handsom, smells like sugar, likes football and hunting (gross), has 4 brothers 1 sister, drives a car to work, is in the mafia, and it turns out kinda likes me (I finally tricked someone) and he wants to marry me!

2009-05-02T18:02:00.001-07:00

Oh Pizookie how I miss you. Our time apart has been rough. But 7 weeks from now you will once again make me deliriously happy. Until then, the dream of you is all that I have.

YEAH!

2009-05-02T17:53:00.000-07:00

CONGRATULATIONS JESSICA

I'm so excited for you!

Home Again?

2009-05-02T16:58:00.000-07:00

OH BOY!

Andy I have questioned our relationship since this weekend. I never knew you didn't like ANYTHING sweet. Except Whip Cream "with a tiny bit of sugar!" Who are you?

So I went home over Easter weekend to play with my family and friends, and it was rainy and snowy the whole time, minus Easter morning.  It figures!  Jordy Folded the Sunday dinner napkins into Bunnies. She is hilarious. Topher spent his time and has spent his time this winter snowboarding.....what would give that away.  And I played games with mom.  What?  Erin played games?  Yes, its true. It was a wierd trip altogether! But the Easter Bunny put money in some of the eggs this year. SCORE. You should have seen Topher and Maddies faces when I found All of the eggs with the money. Its helps that I hid them though!

Addiction

2009-05-02T16:35:00.000-07:00

Love. Love. Love. Shoes. And what girl wouldn't. They always fit and never make you feel fat.
It was a warmish day in March and I was running errands at the mall. Returning things believe it or not. So proud of myself for not buying anything. I looked down at my watch, had lost track of time and just like Cinderella I was late. But then I looked down over the banister to the lower level and there they were, red stripped shoes just like the ones i had never dreamed of but knew that I would from now on. I had to go, I was really late. But as I ran for the parking lot a little voice whispered "just go look." Running back into the mall I picked up the red stripped slipper and turned it over to see $79.90. No deal. As I turned to walk away with great disappointment I heard the sales girl say "were you just looking at this shoe? Its the last one and its on sale for $19.99, the problem is that its a size 6, and nobody is a size 6". "I'm a size 6" I shouted with joy as I grabbed it from her hand and slipped it on. I knew we were meant to be.
(This isn't even all of them)

Da Da Da Da...Da, I'm Lovin It!

2009-05-02T16:01:00.000-07:00

Crazy Weeks. Jordyn. Work. Then Family. Just a few Highlights. Amazing Tongues. Hilarious Glasses. Billy Joel and Elton John. Catching rays and returing to our natural colors. And one GINORMOUS BALL.

Bless Jordyns Heart

2009-05-02T10:53:00.000-07:00

Kite flying. It was hilarious. She was laughing so hard she couldn't breath. The best is when she runs with her kite in circles around you laughing....yup lots of tangled kites.

For a year now we tried to get her to wear wings. But anybody who knows Addie, knows that Addie does things on her own time line. And when her mom is not hear to feel bad that I'm making her scream. But look....now she loves them and swims all over the pool by herself. With goggles of course. Like mother, like daughter.

Pool Princess. Need we say more?

80 degrees. Hot Pink Fleece Footie Pajamas. A Princess Bike. What More Does A Girl Need?

So Jordyn came for her spring break, thinking that she would get a little tan, but instead she got a new best friend named Addie. A.K.A. Monster. As cute as she may appear, she is very deceiving. It took about 10 snaps to get her to look at the camera and smile. Jordyn...You can have her.

Normally she has her hand out yelling "No, Don't look at me, you can't look at me." With A Scowel, followed by a growel.

2009-05-02T00:50:00.000-07:00

Things I love about home......Sunday dinner (yummy), naps by the fire place, sharing a room with someone even though there are 6 other empty beds and rooms in the house, Hurley (although sometimes really annoying), the smell of breakfast in the morning...oh wait, wrong house but most of all what I love is the pure embarrassment and humiliation that my family gives to one another covered up with smiles, love and in this instance balloons and a big banner saying "Welcome Home Sister Hill"..............Over my dead body! Imagine me getting off the airplane, walking to the top of the escalator to go to baggage claim, looking down and seeing this. My first thought was...run to the bathroom and wait till the crowd clears. Lucky for me its IF and that only takes about 2 mins tops... but then they saw me. I had no choice I had to claim them as mine in that very instance. But lets be honest how can you resist taking claim to such a good looking family?

Meet Meg. She is amazing to sum it up. She loves to play hide and seek but you have to be careful because sometimes she hides in your shower and lets be honest, nobody likes being surprised when they are naked. She also likes hiding in beds. YIKES. Meg is from Logan, Utah but our family has adopted her as one of our very own so she now resides in Idaho falls in Jordyns room. I know what you guys are thinking; how did she get so tall and her bosoms, where did they come from? Well for one she is standing on her tippy toes because she is a ballarina and secondly she had a boob job! Welcome to the family Meg.

Once again.....family is wonderful. This is moments before my face was shoved into my most favorite birthday cake in the whole wide world........strawberry short cake...except mine is kinda tall. 27 years and still single........I'm holding out for my prince charming, if anyone finds him let me know! When it snows all day everyday in the subzero city of Idaho Falls, you must get creative. Some of you benefited from my VaLeNtInEs creativity and some of you benefited from me in other ways! Haha I'm totally kidding; or am I? Sorry about the mess mom (it was right after the house cleaner left).

She Is Amazing. She Loved It.

Let me paint the picture. We're in Candace's room getting ready to go out for the night. Talking about what we are going to do. Candace is in the bathroom doing her hair, i'm sitting on her couch and Amy is sitting on the bed. Amy is so softly and lovingly stroking her hair and walllaaaa......creepy.

R.I.P
Brown Fur Bag sadly died this last winter and was laid to rest in a big black garbage bag during spring cleaning. Cause of death was overuse because of the love its owner had for it. It provided Erin with many amazing moments, laughs, conversation starters and stories to tell! Not only did Brown Fur provide the much needed space that a single 27 yr old girl needs, it kept her warm on all those lonely nights for the past 4 years. On more than one occasion it was also known to protect Erins dad and his car from burglary. Brown bag is survived by not only Erin its owner but many adoring and envious fans. You will be missed.

2009-05-01T20:09:00.000-07:00

Jordyn you are my IDOL!

Friends. Love Em or Leave Em. I'll Love Em.

2009-01-31T02:55:00.001-08:00

Does life get any better than Cosmic Bowling? I don't think so, but maybe we should ask the people with better things to do............
Inquiring minds are always asking who this boy is. I know there are many a picture of us together sometimes looking cozier then should be, on some other very unnecessary web pages of myself. This is Christopher A.K.A. "Greekster" Know Him. Love Him. And Bless His Heart.

IT Doesn't Matter If You're Dark Or Light. Cause Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut, And Sometimes You Don't.

Oh Boy....All The Single Ladies.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-30T14:28:00.001-08:00

All I wanted for Christmas and did I get it? NO!!! I keep telling my dad he would have LoTs better chances of giving me away if he was doing it with a BIG, SHINY, SPARKLY, DIMOND RING. He just doesn't get it....You gotta give them sorta incentive!
Oh Dad, it was an infomercial! It doesn't really work. But Dare to Dream Big Guy!

Ok so apparently Tan and I were the only ones ready for the picture. Its ok, we're the pretty ones anyway.Christmas EVE- Addie is pretty much a natural at the picture thing. Although 99% of the pictures are of her own eye since she faces the lens at herself most the time (interesting, Sounds just like someone else i know. But hey, i can't help if the camera loves me :-P)

So last year we were pretty much amazing and went hot tubing and then Jordyn had a BrIlLIaNt idea to go snowmobiling in our swim suits. So we did it again. I think the snow level was about the same (which was deep), the temp still below O and us girls just as stupid as last year! Check, we had everything we need to make it a great time. But this time it was DARK outside and on Christmas EVE and friends were coming over for the festivities in 30 mins. Um I wasn't happy at then end of my ride, I was frozen city! And I'm pretty sure more than 1 four letter word came out of my mounth...........
SNOW FORTS!

So every night we pretty much made a different fun treat. Thats right folks, the Hills all have a common goal.......EAT. We're chubby Chasers what can we say. So this is Lauren mixing the fondant for DippinG ChocholateS. And us frosting cookies......mmmmmmm.
This was Lauren and I attempting to get the CHICKEN for soup out of the boiling water but it was falling apart. Well apparently when I so kindly volunteered to boil the chicken I was a little too busy making it walk on the counter and chase people around, that I forgot that I was SUPPOSE to know that you're SUPPOSE to take its GUTS out.....PPAAAHHHHLEEEAAASSSE mom, like I boil GIANT chickens all the time?
Mamma Donna=Amazing, This GORGEOUS lady is where our Olive skin comes from. She is pretty much a total Babe. A shrinking Babe but none the less a Babe! Just ask my Grandpa :)
Think How lucky she would be if she was a boy..............

Our family and Chad and Michelles Family.....Temple Square Lights. Always Fun.
Yes, I know, its hard to look right at the picture because Tophers NEON jacket is a little distracting. But do your best, we're working on him. When he was dropped from the space ship they forgot to tell him that Aliens are suppose to try and blend in.
Sisters, love em.

Party Number ONE....You can only Imagine. She was already in heaven. And high on CANDY!

GigerBread house Contest! Um we made a DOUBLEWIDE. It was pretty Funny. So this was the FiRsT of ThReE Christmas Parties that Addie attended with me this weekend. The Girl was out of control by the end of the weekend. She was throwing her head back and Shimming her little chest while yelling "Ya, Christmas PAAARRRTTYYYY." I kid you not. It was hilarious.Christmas tree shopping, $10 to the first person who can guess how excited dad was for this!!!!

Blog FAILURE!

2009-01-30T13:45:00.000-08:00

Disclaimer: This Post is somewhat like Where's Waldo. But instead of Waldo, its Erin and instead of a Red Stripped Shirt, its a Really Cute, Ruffely Apron. Yes, i'm aware that I have it on in almost every picture. But look how well rounded the Apron is.....eating, singing, cooking, shooting.

The Talent Show (can we really call it that?)

OK So pretty much I'm a total failure at blogging. I haven't done it in like oh you know 3-4 months so here goes.

The best part of 2008 was that I got to go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas! I don't know how on earth I lucked out, but I did. The crappy thing... that for thanksgiving i was sick. But of course i was because i had been sick for like a month and on my second round or antibiotics (this is what you get for working in a hospital, where its a breeding ground for disease. And for those of you wondering, NO they don't care if nurses are sick, they make us work anyway!) So since we had the JoY of having about 50ish people at the house, I became HERMIT woman and never left my parents bedroom....... So here were some of the Thanksgiving highlights!

My cute mom and her cute sisters and mom! No we aren't Pioneers. I know what you're thinking. Sexy Back? We have a billion College age girls which = (Stop it! Not where I was going, you little....) I was saying that = lots of potato peelers!
TURKEY CARVING!!!! And yes I see the Blue Jump Suit. (Every family has one. He's ours.)
(Count the Cameras, I love it)

So we did a Family Talent Show! And it was hilarious. Our family took it away from "family
show" and did JiNgLe BeLl RoCk (Means Girls Version, haha)

FAMILY TIME=ROCKBAND

Skeet Shooting, Wahoo, I'm Classy! This is for all of those people out there that think i'm the girly-est girl out there (ok so pretty much everyone thinks that)! Now if you can look past the fact that i'm in a ruffely apron while shooting a shotgun you would see that I've got GREAT FORM! Ok not really, like I even know what that is in this sport. But I did hit a pigoen (And I was one of the two girls that did, and NO it wasn't pure luck. I've got SkIlLs you've never seen. CLEARLY)

We were sad that Kassies and Danis families weren't able to make it this year! But boy did we have fun without you.............The best SURPRISE we found out about that day was........Dani is prego again (little hussy) And now that its been forever since I updated, we also know she's
having a BOY!!! OH BOY what do we do with one of those?

CHECK!

2008-11-02T15:22:00.000-08:00

HOW TO BE AUNTIE ERIN
Hat to cover the not done hair...Check
Big Hoop earrings.........................Check
Lots of rings...................................Check
Funny Face....................................Check
Ok so she may not be my biological child but she defiantly has a little of me in her! She loves BIG jewlery! When she gets to my house she goes to my earring board and picks out pair to put on! I go to her house and off comes my jewlery and onto Addie it goes.......the funniest is that she doesn't like her moms, she'll only wear mine! So when i told Addie she looked like Auntie Run Run the other day she made this face!!!! She would...........

Apples, apples and more apples!

2008-11-02T15:08:00.000-08:00

CARAMEL APPLES

So one of the things that makes OCTOBER my FAVORITE month is that there are so many yummy treats! Caramel apples probably being the best. So every Oct Danny and I make apples with White Chocholate and Cinnamon and other yummy candy on them..So good! This was Addies first year of joining in the fun...the best was when were were unwrapping the caramels. She did good the first couple and then started eating them! She starting eating her apple pre-carameled too, she was too excited and couldn't wait!

Arizonia State Fair

2008-11-02T10:49:00.000-08:00

So we hit up the Arizonia State Fair a few weekends ago. We went to the Weezer concert which was pretty funny, (odd little men), walked around and watched all the CARNIES and then we pretty much just ate all the good food. Because lets be honest thats what the fair is all about! P.S Biggest bags of cotten candy EVER!

JORDYS WORK!!!!

2008-10-19T12:00:00.000-07:00

So my sister Jordyn is amazing and makes this adorable jewlery. She can pretty much make any color/design.....you just let her know! She also makes super cute earrings that are the same kinda style! So if anyone is interested in buying any, let me know! These are just a few of her things!

Leave a comment to let them know.

1. I'm OCD, i mean we all like things the way we like things but i take this to the extreme! To me everything has its place and way it goes (i.e. toilet paper always rolls off from the top, toilet seat LID, always down (even most girls leave this up YUK), vacuum cord wrapped counter clock-wise) those are just a few examples and the worst part is that i expect everybody around me to do things the exact same way or i flip!

2. People always tell me that i'm very girly and always "done up" but those that truly know me, know that i am a "closet dirty." I never hesitate to get up in the morning and run errands in my pjs (which my family so lovingly point out are see-through), hair, nor teeth brushed and no bra! And to add insult to injury i only wash my hair about every 5 days and have been known to go 7-8 days a few times!

3. Candy, candy and more candy, I live for candy, sweats, treats, you name it! If you wanna make me happy, buy me candy! But my favorite things ever is WATERMELON BUBBLE GUM! I could chew it all day everyday and i buy it just about every trip to Walmart!

4. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love the month of OCT, the candy, the crisp autumn air (when i lived in Utah), fright mares, little kids all dressed up and everything SpOoKy!

5. I don't do late! I think its rude, inconsiderate and have a secret hate for people think that there is really such thing a fashionably late! That's just rude people's excuse for themselves! I think that if my mom can have seven kids and still get everywhere on time and most times early, then nobody has an excuse....we're all tired and busy! So people that know me know that when i say we are leaving for dinner at 6:00pm that means we are really leaving at 5:50! I am always early!!!!!

6. I talk to my mom every single day (at least once)! My sisters can attest to this! I know that it annoys my mom and that most times she doesn't have time to talk to me, but she is a total trooper! 97.1% of the time she puts on her happy voice and says "Hey Er, how are you?" even though she knows i don't even have anything to say, i just need to hear her voice! My hardest times=when she goes out of town and out of contact! I get a little depressed and have even been known to cry!

I LOVE NYC

2008-08-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

So the Hills have finally hit up the BIG APPLE....that's right folks the Hills rocked NYC this last August and we had a blast! Our cousins Jeff and Nicole and Aunt Rischia flew in from Calgary to join in the fun total-ing us up at 14. You can probably imagine what its like trying to get 14 people on the subways......Ya lets not go there! Lets just put it this way, when you have that many people in NY you try to do things in the cheapest way and figuring out what subway package is the most cost efficient kinda sucks....especially when EVERYBODY in our family pretty much sucks at MATH!

So I thought i would throw out a few NYC highlights!
1. Arriving in NYC and passing the NY JETs in the airport as they pointed at me and talked about my Angle shirt! They pretty much loved it! (other members of the family may tell this memory different but hey its my blog)

2. Mets game- Mom and Dad getting beer dumped on them from the bleachers above, they were soaked! YUP GREAT SEATS!
3. ERIN TRIPPING AND FALLING IN CENTRAL PARK!! CLASSIC ME
4. HAHA Tanner tripping and pretty much taking another man out! It was hilarious
5. The look on mom and dads face as I started pole dancing in the subway-AHHH the skills they never knew i had! YIKES!!!!
6.Getting up at 4:00am for the Celion Deon concert at the today show and what do you know she cancelled! But we did make it on TV
7. Danielle tyring to buy a purse on Canal street- the Asians pretty much hate her! She couldn't catch a break! And she never did get her wallet!
8.Topher falling off the chair in the Hotel Lobby
9. Sitting on the subway coming home from the METs game when low and behold i notice Kassie's shoes-Maryjane Flats with white thick bobby socks and jean capris! Kassie there is never an excuse for that kind of style!
10. Tanner and Joe turning their pants into MAN-CAPRI'S while walking through Central park with purses! That is so STRAIT!
11. Seeing Katie Holmes with Surrie walking into Little Mermaid!

So some other fun things we did......

We all saw Wicked one night and it was amazing. The next night we all split up and went to different plays, some went to South Pacific, Chicago and Jersey Boys! Everybody had fun at all of them but LOVED Wicked in the end!

Played at Seaport Village after seeing the Bodies Exhibit.

My number one goal for the trip was to find the Naked Cowboy in Times Square...sadly we never did find him but we did find the Naked Cowgirl (almost put this in the highlights section but I'm still trying to decide if i would call it that! (65, saggy, droopy, wrinkly and way too much makeup))

We went to TOP OF THE ROCK! The view is amazing... and its unreal to think how many people live in one city!

Ate at SERENDIPITY for Laurens birthday! YUMMY-est desserts EVER! Plus it was funny because dad hates Tiffany Lamps and they are everywhere in that restaurant! You could say he was in his personal Hell!

Shopping, Shopping and more Shopping! But what better place then NYC?

What better place to be a kid then F.A.O. SCHWARTZ? We tried out our skills on THE BIG PIANO! Ya after years of lessons and i can't play anything! And now I'm sure we all got a fungus from all the bare feet that step on that thing!

Subways, Subways and more Subways!

Giant Candy Bar anyone? HERSHEY'S STORE- YUMMY!

We also waited in line for over an hour at the SHAKE SHACK!!! YUMMY food! It was this little hamburger joint in the middle of Madison Square Park and it was packed!

Over all the trip was great! But we could all have used a vacation from our vacation cause we walked everywhere! Now its back to work................

Where I've Been.....

2008-07-27T15:38:00.000-07:00

LAKE BLAINE 2008

More Pics to come!

Ok so all i hear lately is "Update your blog, blah, blah , blah.....ok well not the blah part but thats what is sounds like after enough people say it over and over.

So I went to Lake Blaine with the family this last July and as always had an absoulute bLaSt!!!! This year in addition to having the fun Willardsen Cousins, Noel and Cherice were able to come and play too.

So we got a new boat the day we left to the lake and while all the girls were a little disappointed to be losing the Ski boat, the new wakeboard boat turned out to be AWESOME and the wake wasn't to shabby for skiing either.

Some highlights, Lauren and I attempting to dock start off the back of the boat on the same surfboard.....yup that takes talent and NO we don't have it!

Topher landing his tantrum on the wakeboard
Pretty much the best BANANA pyramid EVER.....
and Gidet day...yes folks, erin, kendyle and dani triple, double skiing. For those of you haven't double skiied in a few years, try it...its HILLARIOUS!

And everybody was able to SURF this year.....yea! Boring to watch but tons of fun to do!

So as most of you know 4th of july is one of my FAVORITE holidays, so we spent it on the lake and that night piled all 17 of us into the boat and went out on the lake to watch all the fireworks over the water. Ahh it doesn't get better then that!

Ok well I'm still waiting to get a bunch of pictures from Dani and Jordy. So stay tuned.........oooohhh and we leave for NYC this next week so wait for it! Knowing me it will be posted next summer but hey what can you do!

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HHHHMMMMM?

2008-06-03T01:22:00.001-07:00

1.Why law states you must be 50 feet from a building to smoke yet all ash trays are right next to the door.
2.Why the first 5 rows of parking at Walmart are handicapped....isn't the point that its suppose to be close? And lets be honest not that many handicapped are there at once!
3.Why some girls don't shave.......enough said!
4.Why people on ACHCCS (AKA government assistance) come in with acrylic nails, cells phones and drive nicer cars then me! (I've decided I'm quiting my job applying for ACHCCS and just want to say thanks to all of you for paying for my future children)
5.Why the counter assistant at Quickstop drives a BMW and i drive a Jetta?

You're 12yr old brother is setting you up with guys your age.....

So i was in Idaho with the family last week and i was sent into Deseret Book with Topher to pick up moms scriptures. Upon our entrance, topher turned tazmanian on me looking for "someone". So this "someone" goes5 by the name of Mr. Jinkins! Yes, everybody, he is tophers student teacher. So Mr. Jinkins (as the kids call him) or Mike knew all about me.....i just laughed and told him i was a little surprised by our set up! The best part = Topher! He was so excited to get us together that the minute we shook hands, he says to us with a big ol' smile "now you guys can get married." AWKWARD
The funny part= my mom was in on the whole thing. It was Tophers set-up but my mom supported him by driving me there and finding a reason for me to go into the store! Welcome back to Jr. High kids.....That little DEVIL.....

Hiltonhead South Carolina

2008-05-04T11:17:00.000-07:00

So i know what you're thinking....erin you travel more than any person i know! This last week i went to Hiltonhead SC with a couple of friends. I had never been and it was a bLaSt. The first day we were there we drove to Charlotte a few hours away and went shopping and took a little carriage ride though the little town. I loved it....the houses are amazing and they've made it a really fun little historical town! And BONUS!!! Amy and i got a little more then we bargained for with our 20 bucks....don't ask. These are some of the cute houses.

Ok so not so small...these houses are in the historical district and actually are worth millions of dollars! AMAZING!

Amy, Erin and Candace on the carriage ride!

Yes folks this is what you think it is..... a JELLY FISH and they were all over the beach. We just played at the beach the next couple of days. It was really fun. The beaches are forever long and totally white sand GORGEOUS! Oh and we saw DOLPHINS! Actually SC as a whole is beautiful. Its really lush and GREEN and there are amazing wild animals everywhere. In the pond in the backyard, there are turtles everywhere and the turtles and alligators come and swim up to you when you go out there. (they think you're going to feed them) I wanted to feed Amy to the alligator since she was feeding the seagulls at the beach and then they wouldn't leave us alone but Candace said that was inappropriate!

OF COURSE

Favorite conversation i heard about this week happened between J-kat and her adorable little girl Avey who is 5! (um i probably spelled her name wrong and she may or may not be 5)

J-Kat: We're going to lunch with erin, do you remember erin?

Avey: Ya, she's the one without A HUSBAND!!!!

Why i otta' (fist of furry)

Of course thats the one thing the 5 yr old remembers! Those little kids are so BrUtAlLy honest.

This is showing how i feel about GUYS right now! I just don't even know what to do anymore.....could God have made them anymore GAY? And yes I know that i will probably be struck by lightening for saying this, but the answer is NO, because he is a man. And as far as i'm concerned, just hit me with the lightening and put me out of my misery! Cause if there is one thing i've learned being a nurse its that, YOU CAN'T CURE STUPID and thats what guys are!

For instance, A conversation had with a gUy earlier today. We had been talking about dating.... (and he's 29 years old)

Erin: So what are you looking for when dating?

Guy: You mean in a girl?

Erin: Sure

Guy: Somebody i'm crazy about, and they feel the same way about me. Would be a good wife and that i could see as the mother of my children.

(I know he sounds cute and like the perfect guy right now but just wait)

Erin: So is the girl you went out with this weekend (and kissed) the same girl you told me about last week that will probably be your girlfriend by May?

Guy: ya its the same one

Erin: And how did it go?

Guy: No long term potential

Erin: Why not?

Guy: 4 earrings, 1 tongue ring, 1 belly ring and a really wild side, i just don't see her as the mother of my childen.

Erin: And this is the girl you ditched me for? Cause if thats your type then we would never have worked out anyway.

Guy:NO! She's not my type and you and i are still going out.

Erin: So explain to me why you say that you are looking for the mother of your children and then you pick the exact opposite to date?

Guy: Good question

Erin: Ya so.....help clear up every girls frustration with guys. And why waste your time if she's not your type?

Guy: Cause she's hot.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH its like talking to a BrIcK WaLl

HOTT!!!!

So I get that its SPRING time here in AZ, so in the spirit of the season, i would just like to take a second to remember why AZ has been such a great move....i know, i know i didn't love it at first and i REALLY hate to even admit it, BUT....i'm starting to appreciate the weather. Especially when i look back at the winter in Utah/Idaho!

Walking outside in the morning and having the 70 degree sun shining down on me certianly doesn't suck.......the bad news.......... last night i was standing outside and it was around 60 degrees and i was FrEeZiNg!!!!! I've turned WIMP-BAG! A year ago that weather would have been shorts and flip-flop weather!

A little something!

2008-03-25T15:50:00.000-07:00

This is a little something special from Candace called the BUTTERLFY

St. Patricks Day!

Happy St. Patricks Day...........................

Staten Island Ferry! FREEZING!

So Janelle and i took a little spring break trip to NYC this last weekend...Pretty much it was fun and FREEZING! Now we knew it would be cold but come on, we matured in LOGAN, UTAH the coldest place ever so you would think we could hack the NYC cold! Well thats a BIG FAT NO! Since i'm being lazy right now and not really in the mood to narrate my pics, you're just going to have to look with no explanations! Let you're mind go WILD!!I kissed him and he turned to stone????

Chocholate anyone?

F.A.O. SCHWARTZ

SERENDIPITY...YUMMY

Carnagies Deli!!! HUGE!

AND..... we went to WICKED "witch" was just that! HaHaHa, GREASE and MAMMA MIA!

Working Hard, or Hardly Working?

2008-03-15T17:37:00.000-07:00

So since our hospital is new, we've been blessed to have some nights that are a little slower at work. I know the responsible thing is to be productive and use my time wisely but lets be honest you can only use 12 hours wisely for so long without wanting to DIE!!!! So these are a few activities we do make our nights go by.......

I pretty much rocked the house with WHEEL CHAIR RACES! I beat everyone in both chairs (ones retarded).

Melissa amazed us with her Kart wheel abilities! And she is AMAZING!!!! Shannon proved she's STILL GOT IT! Her cheer leading days are far from over!

OK well MAYBE shes still got it............................................

And after HOURS of practice, and i mean HOURS, J-Kat can do the hand clap!

Stalker Update

2008-03-15T17:33:00.000-07:00

So as i explained before, the cupcake at work has a little crush on me...Well this crush has now turned STALKER! We just made a board at work that's all decorated and has a picture of each nurse and a little blurb about them. Well the other night J-Kat and i were looking at them and then came the cupcake to do some cleaning and low and behold my picture and ONLY my picture is missing! Coincidence? I think not!

That Special Someone....

2008-03-10T12:08:00.000-07:00

I think we all know how it feels to be searching for that "SPECIAL SOMEONE", you know....the one that thinks, feels and in my case EATS the same as you do.....Well after years of searching, i'm happy to announce I've found her! Who knew she was in AZ all along! This is Jessica AKA J-Kat Grimmer......she is amazing, i would even go as far as to say that she's as azmazing as me (which is hard to be). Despite my parents opinion that there is no one as dorky as me out there, I knew there had to be, and this was confirmed upon meeting J-Kat....if you don't know her, get to know her, you'll be amazed.

Inter-Work Relations? I Think Not....

2008-03-07T22:45:00.000-08:00

So there is this boy at work thats a house keeper and for security purposes we'll call him "CUPCAKE" ...... Now with that being said, lets give a little background. My friends always tell me that i turn mean when i find out somebody is interested in me and i'm not interested in them, so in return i have made some extra effort to be nice. WELL................this has come back to BITE me! I always felt a little wierd around CUPCAKE cause he would follow me around talking to me and asking me all sorts of personal questions. So one night i happen to mention this creepy feeling to two of my co-workers and all nonchallantly they whip out "oh ya, he likes you, he told me". So i've made a huge effort to surpress my nautral instincts and I've been nice and now i have a stalker! Everytime he comes to Labor and Delivery he sits at the desk talking to me and sits and watches me from the rooms....UUUHHHH sick. Its now bad enough that i ignore him all together. Well last night it was bothering Jessica and Shannon so much that they made me a NOT INTERESTED sign and taped it to my forehead! LESSON LEARNED: BEING NICE IS NOT ALL ITS CRACKED UP TO BE.

2008-03-07T16:31:00.000-08:00

Here's the newest add-ons! I was pretty sure that i was going to have to pay taxes this year....BUT when you have an amazing mother like mine that knows how to work the system and cheat on taxes......................wonderful things happen! I'm totally kidding, but thanks to her doing my taxes I've been doing lots of shopping!

Just Living The Dream

2008-03-04T20:57:00.000-08:00
