Time Waits for No Man....

The day after my 12th birthday I began counting down the days till I turned 13 and finally be a teenager. A few days after my 17th birthday I complained to my parents that I couldn't wait till I was 18 and finally be an adult. They looked at me, smiled, and said, "Erika, don't rush your youth. Soon enough, days will feel like minutes, months will feel like hours, and a year will feel like on a few days." At the time I looked at them and thought to myself they were crazy. 

Years have past and once again my parents are right. It has been almost a year since my last blog post and I have no inkling of where that time has gone. It is time to start fresh with this blog. My goal is to document the years that pass so that one day when I am old and can't remember the small details, I will have something to look back on and share with my children. 

At least once a week I plan on posting a new blog. I am positive that there will be at least one interesting thing happen to me during a week. 

Wish me luck!
