The Great Gatsby

      Here is the first book in my "100 Book Challenge I started. I am currently at book 17 so I have a few to take pictures of to share :)

      Well this amazing book I read for my English class, hence all of the post-it notes sticking out at the top. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and will probably re-read this one in my future. It is very dramatic, made me angry at times, and gave me a great lesson from it all. I would give this a four out of five green lights. Hope you enjoy the nice costume I came up with!

Photo Shoot

      Here's some shots from a recent photoshoot I did with my sister. The photos have been edited already, I was trying something new. Let me know what you think.


Spring Cleaning

     Time for an update! I know that I have changed the title to this blog billions of times, but I am finally satisfied with one: "Running Erinns". Little story about this and  then I'll get to the update. Whenever someone says that they have to "run some errands" I always hear my name and have often been confused. Well I also feel like the whole point of this blog is to share my life from people to possibly inspire or give a good chuckle to someone. I'm pretty much on the run with school and things like that so running erinns is the story of my life. My journey my adventures. Hope the title sticks too :)

     Besides the blog title update I am finishing the school year. I'm almost a senior! Wow...anyways the summer is sooo close and I am going to be doing so much fun stuff that I can blog about. I haven't posted in months (literally) because I took a "Internet consecration". Basically I wasn't on the Internet for a while so that I could get myself in the habit of spending more time with God, and less doing mindless things. I deleted my Tumblr. Long story, but it needed to happen. It was my biggest issue in many ways. I am still not on my twitter and facebook but will return soon. But I decided to get back here because I like this blog and missed it.

      There are going to be an abundance of things that I am uber psyched about because I have been wanting to do them for a long time! I bought a NICE camera to document it all, and finally I will get around to making those youtube videos I chatted about on here last time. I have started accomplishing two things on my ongoing bucket list (that I will update). One of which is learning to cook. My mother runs her own business downtown on Friday and Saturday so she is unable to cook dinner on Saturday night. I took the advantage of this situation by learning to make something new each week (from scratch) and it has proven very helpful in aiding my incapability to cook something other than eggs, which I just found out that I am allergic to, and Ramen noodles. The other bucket list goal I'm working on is reading 100 books in a year.

Hello, hello, hello!

      I know that I haven't written in a while, that's all due to school work and blah dee blah. During this break time though I have been pondering different ways for me to communicate with all of you at the next level, and amp up the fun. Because quite honestly this can become slightly boring to read at times and you can't always see my personality shining through sooooooooooooo I will be doing YouTube videos!!!!!!!!!! I'll put a link up because It's under a different name (Currently) because my sister wanted to start a channel with me. Request what videos/tutorials you want to see. Any questions, just ask:)

      I have so many random plans for the videos and I don't want to spill all of my secrets yet, but I can tell you that there will be some Bible study stuff and lessons occasionally, but I really want this to be geared towards having fun as a christian and modest ways to dress (Stuff like that). Kind of like a video diary of a faithful girl, without being INYOURFACEANDINYOURSPACE "I'M A CHRISTIAN". Because that honestly would be annoying and I wouldn't want to watch that at all. I'll do typicall YouTube videos and all that jazz. Just let me know what you're interested in seeing.

                                                Lots of Love- Erinn x.

My fathers' canvas

      Well here are the beautiful sky photos that I promised. I believe that they are a mix of sunrises and sunsets from this past week. God is the most amazing artist, and the sky is proof of it (As are you and I). Next time the sun sets or it rises, take time out to really admire the vast expanse above you. It truly is breath taking.

Changing it up

      Hey there. You might have noticed that I changed the background to my lovely blog, for the wonderful holiday coming up this week. VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!! I would just like to say that I have been single for my entire life, and I still have fun on valentines day. If you're single as well, don't feel sorry for yourself. It's better to not be in a relationship, than to be in one that is terrible.

      So if you find yourself single on this 14th of February get yourself some candy, a card, or a flower. They're selling roses at my school and I might get one for myself... that sounds sad but I'm okay with that. Another idea is to go see a movie with your best friends. One year I saw the movie "Valentines Day" in theater with my parents and my aunt and uncle. It was quite awkward because my parents sat on my left, then there was an empty chair, me, empty chair, my aunt and uncle. Single pringle here! Oh well, the movie was enjoyable and I didn't have to share my popcorn with anyone :)

      One last thing that I would like to close up with, that I shared on the 31 Girls page is this. Whenever I'm asked "Why don't you have a boyfriend"? I just smile and say that I'm not looking for that right now. The truth is yeah, having a boyfriend looks like fun, but I can wait. I don't want to date a bunch of people that I'm not attracted to and that don't have a relationship with Jesus. When the time comes, God will show me someone that has their heart in the right place. But for right now I am satisfied. I follow a God that has unimaginable love. It never ends. He forgives me every time I mess up and is right there for me to talk to at any moment. Is it like having a boyfriend? Kind of I guess, but it's so much more. That is why I'm perfectly content being single.
