The Accident

On October 13, 2009 at 10:30pm I was going through a green light, when I saw a white car turn left and come straight into my car. I remember seeing my life flash before my eyes, it was all in slow motion. I am okay, I have to see the Doctor for my neck, headache, bruises on the left side of my body, and scratches. However, other than that I am okay and I feel that I am so lucky nothing else went wrong. As I keep reflecting on my accident I am so happy to have the people I care about in my life, and I am so grateful for them. I realize that life is too short, so you just got to live and enjoy the blessings in life that are already there for you. I am so grateful for the family I have, and living close enough to them, to just come home. I realize most people don't have that, but I chose that for the reason that I can't live without them!
Due to this accident, I am purchasing a new car! Which I have driven the same car since High school and it has been a good car...I never thought I would say this, but I will miss my green slimer, we have been through so much he and I. But I am so excited cause this new car is the first big purchase that I have had to make....I know this sounds dumb but I am putting the down payment on my car by myself and I am so proud of that. It is a big step for me and I am happy about this. With graduating this April, finding my own place next year, and purchasing my car I am so happy to be an adult....weird I know. (Don't worry I still am a little kid). But this is the first step to a new life, and right now I need that new life cause sometimes I am not happy where I am at with a lot of things...I think it is just weird how people change and then you find yourself drifting apart from them... it's just sad. But I am happy that I am going into my new life in a good way, and this year amazing things will happen, for that I am Grateful .

P.S. I will post pictures of both cars soon!

The New, Amazing, and Beautiful Erin Randolph

For the Longest time I have been considering going dark. I am sick of being a blonde and following the trend like most everyone. I was done! So I went dark and I am loving it!!!!

Oh The Funny Things Kids Say!

Have I mentioned I love kids????? Well I love kids! So today at Church I was sitting with my parents in their ward. This little boy in front of me was reading a story about Moses during Sacrament Meeting. As he put the book down he turned to his mom and said, "Mom how did Moses's Dad die? Did solders kill him, or did he die because he didn't exercise? And do you know what I want to be when I grow up? A slave." I almost died laughing, I could not contain myself. I so wish I had little kids in my student ward, they make church so much more entertaining. Haha just thought I would share that!

Senior Year!! YAY

This Wednesday I start my senior, and last year of school! I am really excited, because I have been in school far too long. I am SO happy that after this year I will be doing what I love the most, which is teach. Last Thursday I went to my sixth grade classroom that I will be student teaching in. It was so much fun, and I never wanted to leave. I love sixth grade and even though many people ask,"Why would you do that grade?" I love everything about it. This year for me will be fun and yet challenging. I am contemplating where I want to live and teach after. Part of me wants to go to California, and some part of me wants to stay here. However, I will have the rest of this year to decide. Meanwhile I am loving life and I have a good feeling that it is going to love me back!

Brother's Are Da BOMB!

So after a hard week of not understanding life, I decided to talk to my amazing brother. Although my brother is 4 years younger than me, he is an extremely smart and wise man. I have often wondered where would I be with out my brother in my life? We have both been through hard times and good times with each other and I love him so. Anyway my brother gave me good advice, which I have followed....IT HAS WORKED! My life has more understanding then it did before, so thank you Ricardo Retardo for always listening to me, and for the advice!

It is also weird to think that he will be moving down to school in a couple of weeks. He has just decided that he is going to be a Radiation Oncologist and follow some what in my amazing Mother's footsteps, so I just want to wish him Good Luck with school and his life. I am grateful that I can be apart of his life always :)

Daddy's Girl

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

My Dad is the greatest man I know. He is my strength and my light in hard times. When I am having a bad day he knows just what to say. I am so proud to call myself a Daddy's Girl, and have the amazing relationship I have with my Dad. I am grateful for a father who loves me. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!

Student Teaching

A couple of weeks ago, I found out that I am going to be teaching 6th grade at Manila Elementary for my last year of college, I am so excited! I have always wanted to be a 6th grade school teacher, since I tutored a 6th grade class my Senior year in High School. So I am happy to get to finally do what I love to do, I can just tell this year will be a great year for me!:)
