Me & My Buddy

I really forgot how much fun I had with my friend Crystal. I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a girlfriend in my entire life like I did with her. I love looking at our old photos which remind me of all the nights we would make our tummies hurt because of all the laughing we would do. Laughing ALWAYS seemed to come after we stuffed outselves with a large amount of food. She helped me to be carefree, and easygoing. She allowed me to leave one side of Erin at home, and become another exciting never-know-what's-next Erin. I loved that. I was out-going, flexible, free. Free, oh so free. I loved being with her so much. She was so inspiring. We had a blast together. I thank God for good friends. I need to pay her a little visit soon.

I cant wait for...

Things I'm looking forward to this year:

1. Getting sealed in the temple to my husband
2. Devin starting his new position in Salt Lake
3. Possibly moving into his grandma's home while she is away on an LDS mission
4. Advancing in school
5. Possibly starting a family!
6. Quitting my job to search for a better one
7. Meeting all the new babies that are coming into the world (Devin's sister is prego, my two great friends Crystal and Amanda are too, and I'm excited for all the others that are pregnant in Devin's family, and our ward)
8. Celebrating our 1 year anniversary! We will have to plan something great!
9. Maybe going to California for spring break!
10. Visiting home
11. Warm weather
12. Hiking and exploring with my husband
13. Making new friends
14. Trying new things
15. Learning new things (Cook, gardening, interior design)
16. Seeing where Mr. Obama will lead us

Congrats!

I really want to put it out there how proud I am of my hardworking husband! A lot of us out there I'm sure have at one point in our lives felt our hard work has gone slightly unnoticed. I know there are tough days at work, and rude customers, but Devin stands above the rest when it comes to dealing with things like such. He has such a kind heart and a willingness to patiently help each customer that calls in for help despite their occasional poor attitudes. He is such a great asset to Fidelity's company, and I think they are really starting to see it.

• His boss recently told him about a job offer that he put Devin's name in for which would open an ample amount of opportunities for him...and HE GOT IT!
• He also won an Ipod Shuffle which he hasn't put down since!
• And today he won an "EXELLENCE IN ACTION" award which awarded him $300

The Lord has been so good to him, and me too of course because when I see Devin happy and succeeding, I am ten times happier than he is. I am so thankful that we are a few of the lucky ones that have jobs that sustain us right now in these unstable times.

That is something my humble husband has taught me from day one, to ALWAYS remember to offer a prayer of gratitude to Heavenly Father for what He has given so freely to you.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS DEVIN!!!!!
