~Erin, My Erin~

So...... I was continuing the process of preparing my move today and after i had finished shampooing the dining room carpet I had started painting my bedroom white. As I reluctantly washed away the pistachio green color that my room had once held all its fabulous glory with the overbearing ,painfully bland, white finish, I started to think about Erin, My roommate. I thought about when we first moved in and she thought I was completely insane for choosing such a color for my bedroom and how much I regretted painting it that color when I was finished. It was great when the paint had dried and i had finished decorating the bedroom and I remember how surprised I myself was and how much Erin loved it too. It was such a comfortable and warm space. It made me sad to see the green go away cause it made me think that I too shall be going away. I think one of the things i will miss most is having someone like Erin who is there whenever and where ever I need her. We are really so good for each other, always there for each other,and we make a really great team. I will especially miss the nights of reading Harry Potter to each other until we fall asleep, our random trips to Wendy's for spicy chicken sandwiches, and our consistent mutual hungering for oreos which later has become a staple in our home diet. What I will miss most, however, is her creativity, how she can take something as simple as a plain orange dress and add some beading around the neck and make it unique and beautiful. How her voice changes to a cute whine when she needs something from me, but is a little shy to ask for it. Our "go team" hi-five when we have done or thought of something together that we think is really great. And also our random and at times expensive shopping trips usually induced by one of us being depressed. Hey! Don't Judge! So shopping makes us feel better! After all those hott satin and lacy red pumps are not gonna find themselves into Erin's closet on their own are they? We have really built are own little family here and it pains me to feel the need to leave. But, I know that where ever I go I take a special part of Erin with me, because the ones that love us never really leave us. So this, my second blog, is for you Erin. Because, I love you. Because, you are my family. And because, you are the best friend I could have ever asked for. Thank you for being no more and no less than just exactly who you are. I love you!!
