Becca and Nicky we will miss you!!  I'm posting this because my email confirmation didn't load properly and this picture reminds me of that dinner we had once at the olive garden where we made many drunken scenes.  


Also, can Quinn read the blog?

Becca said to post our holiday pictures too...
I can't wait to see everyone (except Nicky :( whom I will miss, but as Erin says, we will toast to you) on New Years. This year will be extra special because we have grad schools and an engagement to celebrate. Also, my cousin (pictured above) is ALIVE! I am so thankful that she has been able to overcome so much!

because the last time i posted was when i lost my virginity...

seriously. i think it was.

so, first of all, i want to congratulate erica on all the wonderful things that have happened to her this month slash month and a half. i am so happy for you and matt. and i am so proud and happy for law school success :)
i look forward to hearing about your very own successful office coup in the near(ish) future.

becca, i got your message and jumped in joy about erica's engagement with you :) i miss you so much.

also, i hope both you and abby had excellent birthdays.

abby and liz, i'm so excited to see you soon :) yay new years :)

gwyn, i looked in my room and couldn't find your scarf :( have you heard from b and p? i also look forward to seeing you again soon :)

nicky, we will miss you for new years and drink at least 4 in your honor ;)

i, currently, am trying very hard to get my mom wasted on margaritas :) otherwise, i don't have too much new to report. nick is still undecided about going back to school or not. and it's driving me crazy because i really like slash possibly love him and i don't know whether to tell him or not because i don't want it to seem like i'm telling him just because he's leaving and i don't know if he wants to stay together after he leaves....argh. boys suck. similarly, i just found out that my uncle's best friend from college lives in costa rica, and i might possibly be able to get a job down there through him. so i don't know how long i'll be around either...sigh. i need another margarita... :) but. my job still sucks and has actually gotten worse because i've noticed recent ethically questionable decisions made by my company...

wow. i should really stop. i didn't mean to turn this post into a venting session about my life :) i blame it on tequila. i'm actually doing alright :) but miss those of you whom i don't regularly see excrutiatingly. i hope this email made sense :)

love you all,
erin

Because there's a blog...

I will make an additional announcement in this public (I use this term loosely) forum.

Engaged!  To my favorite person in the world.  I couldn't be happier.

Matt proposed on Christmas Eve before my parents' annual holiday event.  

The faintest flurries dotted the wooded landscape where we were hiking behind my parents' house when he popped the question.  We returned to celebrate with 30 alcoholics (my mom's side) at my family's party, where I was told by my teary eyed uncle that "I got my christmas wish because I really love that guy... no really...love.. him..." and I wonder whether he's swinging both ways these days.  Uncle JC later revealed himself to be equal opportunity when he told dirty stories and nearly followed home my jewish co-worker who I had, acting on a grievous error in judgement, invited to seek refuge from the holiday at my family's gathering.  Overall it was a great celebration, and hangover-worthy for sure.  

I'm very excited for Matt's and my brilliant future filled with matching pajamas, stoner movies and adventures.




And bonus:  Matt has a really sweet ass.












another one bites the dust... ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! I love you all very very much!

It's Christmas eve and the crazy students and teachers are still at school. They were shocked when I told them even the school office workers don't come into school during Christmas holidays. Tomorrow I will be taking a vacation day and celebrating the Christmas holiday on the ski slopes in a santa hat. MWAH!!!! I miss you all very very much. I hope my secret santa receiver received their present and i think i sent a card or two as well?

That was a pic of me around Christmas time last year, hugging the bad out of the bad spirit in Korea.

And that is a pic of our Christmas day hike last year.
Will post this years christmas pictures, but my camera batter is dead and i lost the charger :(. Please post your pictures too!!!!
