A few of my favorite things

I've noticed lately that people are feeling down and insecure- since I am the queen of feeling that way I thought I might try to help the situation. I want to share with you all some of my favorite things.

Favorite Thing #1:

My Hubby-

Randy Lee Erickson is my hubby. We have been married for almost 4 years, been together for 8 and we were sort of high school sweethearts- until he dumped me for another girl right before the dance. But that is another story! And now I like to tease him about it.

Randy was born on April 16, 1974. His hair is brown his eyes are golden brown and he has the cutest dimple on his chin. He is am amazing Daddy, he makes me laugh. His ability to work with mechanical things awes me. Randy is an excellent pilot and makes me feel safe in the air. He loves sports and takes the time to explain them to me. His is also very creative. He can draw and write and he used to play the trumpet. He is an overall interesting and wonderful man.

Favorite thing #2:

My kids- Need I say more. I mean really- They just amaze me! How did I get so lucky?
Wow!

I love how smart Abby is and how it feels when she cuddles with me. I love to watch her grow and become a neat little human. Alexander is only 7 months old but such a trip! He has his own personality and continues to grow every day. I am so lucky!

Favorite Thing #3: My Friends!

Dani- My Bestest Buddy in the Pea Pod
She is a beautiful friend that I have know since 1992. Her red hair days. She has an amazing voice, is wonderfully creative and makes me laugh. In fact, it is a little known fact that "we are funny dammit!". Our lives have many similar parallels and she is like a sister to me.

Cate- The Amazing Catherine!
She is truly Amazing. What I don't get is why she doesn't know it. I find her faith in God an excellent example. She can sew circles around me. She always has a kind word for me and is an awesome cheerleader. We went to Cal Poly together and got to design together. She has the most amazing smile that just lights up a room. Plus, she loves cherry limeades like I do! (And she didn't kill me for ACT- she really should have!)

Shera- Princess of Power!
She is one of my oldest and dearest friends! We went from the hell of middle school all through high school together. AND we still like each other. :) She is so creative and funny. She can sing and act. She is a scrapbooking queen. I feel so lucky to still have her in my life. She probably knows more about me than is healthy! Whenever we are together it is like we were never apart. I love her laugh. I miss her in silly ol' Reno. ROAD TRIP! SO...

Kathy- "We are So going to Vegas!"
She is my "college" friend. We have had too much fun with cherries and tequila. She amazes me with her energy and creativity. She can draw anything! She is a great actress! She can sing! A triple threat. We always have fun together and we can always share fun and intimate stories. She is incredibly funny. We so need a girls night!

All of my friends are AMAZING to me and help to make my life a better and happier world. I know I can always count on them I hope they know they can always depend on me.

These are a few of my favorite things! More to come...
