today...

today has not been the greatest of days.. I'll tell you why..

1. I woke up with a runny nose, my ears popping and sore throat.

2. I had to clean my sister's house all day for her & it exhausted me to no end.

3. I watched a Harry Potter marathon that was on TV today with my dad & that was the greatest part of my day. It was great until...

4. I suddenly gained a MASSIVE headache. I suddenly felt like someone hit my head with a hammer. painful I tell you.

5. For some reason ibuprofen wasn't doing me any good.. so my massive headache lasted for a good 3 hours.

6. I'm still feeling super sick & so I decided to make me some pudding. EPIC FAIL. The pudding still hasn't set in the fridge. obviously something is not going well in my head today because pudding is not hard to make..

7. The last part of my super great day is that I cannot eat food. Literally. The other day I was out with my sister and I yawned. Well when that happened.. my jaw popped really funky and after that I could barely open my mouth. That was pretty much last week. The side of my face where my jaw popped weird is bruised and I still have difficulty eating.

And finally...

Now that I am super exhausted and sick.. I am going to treat myself to a nice hot shower, put on nice warm jammies, take some nyquil to knock me out, snuggle up in my nice warm blankets on my very comfortable bed.. and sleep. :)

Goodnight World :) Don't forget to smile even when days like this happen :)

Love, Erin

Favorite Song Of The Day

In My Veins- Andrew Belle

Nothin' goes as planned.
Everything will break.
People say goodbye.
In their own special way.
All that you rely on
And all that you can fake
Will leave you in the morning
But find you in the day

Oh you're in my veins
And I cannot get you out
Oh you're all I taste
At night inside of my mouth
Oh you run away
Cause I am not what you found
Oh you're in my veins
And I cannot get you out.

Everything will change.
Everything will change.
Nothin' stays the same.
And nobody here's perfect.
Oh but everyones to blame.
All that you rely on
And all that you can save
Will leave you in the morning
And find you in the day

This would be such a beautiful lyrical or contemporary piece..

Goodnight World

Love, Erin
 "To Love Another Person ..
                    Is To See The Face Of God"


Les Miserables is my all time favorite musical. I've loved it ever since I was a little girl. The message behind the show is one of the most powerful and most meaningful lessons we will ever learn in our lives. The power of  Forgiveness. When we open our hearts to forgive the people who have done us wrong, that is when we become better people and we learn to love EVERYONE. Even our enemies. We become more Christ-like when we forgive. The Atonement allows us to be forgiven and to forgive. It is such a powerful thing that we should never take for granted. I'm so grateful for it, and that from it I can be a better person and be more like Christ. I love the gospel and the opportunities we are given through it. The power of forgiveness has been weighing on my mind lately, and I've learned a lot from it over the past month. Now I really understand it. I am so grateful..
