Trent's TOP TEN

May 11 2006
So I'm very excited to say that I have made Trent Ashcraft's TOP TEN list for the semester.  This is very prestigious and I'm very proud to have made it.  Many people at the BSU are slightly upset because they believe that he put me on there because he felt like he had to which is not correct.  I earned that spot honestly and fairly.  And not only did I make the list, I'm number one.  That's awesome.  I think to put up with Trent, I deserve to be number one.  It only makes sense.

All my school obligations are over.  I do have to work commencement and go listen to a review tomorrow but other than that, nothing else.  So I'm just taking it easy and hanging out.  I'm also trying to pack up my room.

Trent put my refrigerator in his storage unit, so that was very nice of him.  Unlike what I thought, I am bring home my tv because my new roommate will already have hers so that is good.

On a sadder note, Saturday will be my last day with Trent until August unless, by some miracle, he can come see me before I leave.  And there is no halfway point really, and I don't want to drive through Cincinnati, so I don't know what to do.  I hope I get to see him.  I am going to miss him a lot.  He truly kept me sane throughout this semester and I'm excited about next semester.  I know that I will miss him a lot over the summer but he will have a good time in London.  I hope I will be able to see him in London this summer.

Anyways, lets talk about something good for a change.  I don't want to be upset or sad.  That boy brightens my day like no other has before and he would not want me getting upset over him.  I can't wait to get home to my mommy and daddy before I have to leave for training and Poland.

Well, that's all for now.  I will talk to ya'll later.

Not good

May 09 2006
Man, bad things just keep stacking up in my life.  Not cool.

Good Day

May 07 2006
Today is a good day because it means that Trent and I have been dating officially for a whole month now.  And things are going really well with him so that's really, really exciting.  I've never been in such a happy, fulfilling relationship and so that's really cool.  Happy days. 

Oh yeah, and for those of you who have never been to a drive-in or haven't been in a long time, you guys should go....it's awesome fun!

Update

May 03 2006
So, my play went off without a hitch.  It was amazing all the innuendos that were in the play that I never realized were there.  And with a theatre dept. watching, it got even worse.  
But here is a picture of George Carter.  He was in my show and he did FABULOUS.  All the lines were said correctly and everything so that just makes me happy!  A big load off my shoulders.  Now to work on Darwin's THe Origin of Species.  Blah to that!

Ok, for those of you who don't know...the word 'twitterpated' means (at least the definition that I know) infatuated.  Sorry for all the confusion.  You guys should watch Bambi again.  Geez!

It

April 29 2006
Yep...It's official...I'm twitterpated!  I don't think I could be more smitten with Trent.  He is amazing to me...I'm just going to miss him this summer!

Thunder

April 24 2006
Hey guys.  Thunder was this weekend and it was great times.  Trent, Mandy, Nick, Rand, Jason, Jessica, and I went to Louisville for Thunder over Louisville this weekend.  Let me start off by saying that my parents won't let anyone go hungry...ever.  It's amazing how much food we can eat in one weekend. 

On Friday, we went to play Lazer Tag after eating an entire Polish meal.  That was fun.  Lazer Tag was great because it was only us and my parents in the arena.  That's something that never happens, so that was really cool.  I got second after Rand.  I thought that was good.  My dad came in last with 70pts.  Rand had over 2,000.  Big difference.  SO that was funny.  Also introduced Trent and the gang to Disney Scene It.  That was fun because Trent got really competitive but just continued to lose throughout the weekend. 

Saturday-I got up and parked my car downtown at 6am.  I got to the parking spot at 6am.  I was sooo tired.  But thanks Mom and Dad.  Well Thunder was really fun and I even saw some people I haven't seen in a while.  After the show was over, we ran out of there and got home by 10:30.  I think that is a record.

Well, I have to go to class so I will write about the rest later.  Love Ya'll!!!

Edit

April 18 2006
Just found my keys so...crisis averted.  All is well in Erin's world again.  Woohoo.  Big weight off my shoulders.  Yay!

...

April 18 2006
Still no news on the mission keys.  Keep me in your prayers and hopefully I will not have my car stolen.  That would make my heart heart more than my eyes hurt right now from crying.

Keys

April 18 2006
I lost my keys.  Not good.  I'm not happy.  In fact, I'm about to cry...again.  Grrrr...I'm unhappy.

What to do...

April 17 2006
Hmmm....Im bored and stressed out all at the same time.  I guess that comes with procrastination.  I should probably work on that.  

Home

April 15 2006
I'm home.  Good 'ole home.  Got to spend some time with my kimmybear.  That was superfun.  We just watched tv at her house but it was so good to hang out with her again. 

I'm worried about driving home tomorrow.  It's going to be thunderstorming all day tomorrow.  I want to try to get out of town as soon as possible.  That's not good though because it is Easter.

So I don't know what to do.   Grrrr!!!

My AWESOME Day!

April 12 2006
So I told you I would fill you in on my day with Trent. 
First he surprised me with a bouquet of flowers with were wonderful and I put them in a brand new vase .  They are sitting on my window sill.  They are sooo pretty.

Then we walked to his car and he had my favorite drink from the local coffee shop.  That was awesome.  I never get them anymore so that was definitely a treat.  He then drove me to Cave Run Lake and we sat by the lake.  He had a picnic basket which had these awesome pretzels that I love that were filled with cream cheese.

After that, we went to the Spillway and watched the water.  I've never been to the Spillway in the daylight so that was great.  We then drove back to campus and grabbed my car and drove to Lexington.  We met my parents for dinner at Cracker Barrel where they surprised me with a sewing machine (which I LOVE...Thanks Mom and Dad). 

SO this has been one of the best birthdays EVER.  And I want to say thanks to everyone who made it that way and I loved all of my birthday wishes from all of my friends.

Today

April 12 2006
Today is my birthday!!!  I'm so excited.  But thus far, I haven't really done anything.  Trent has something planned tonight and I'm excited.  Then we're driving to Lexington for ice cream to see my parents.  I'm excited.  I can't wait until I'm done with class today.  That's when all the fun starts.  So I will update later on how the rest of the day goes.  Hehehehe.  I hope everyone else has a great day!

The Boy...Sorry it's long.

April 07 2006
So, I have some news.  I have a new boy.  It's official.  And his name is...drumroll please...Trent Ashcraft.  To some of you, this will come as tremendous news, and to others, this will cause you to utter "FINALLY!!!"

Let me explain the situation...I determined at the beginning of the semester that I was not going to date anyone.  I really wanted to focus on God and He placed on my heart that the relationship I was in, was not the most healthy.  But being the awesome God that He is, God placed Trent in my life at a time when I didn't want him.  And for a long time, I didn't realize this great guy that God had given me.  Trent first was my friend, a guy that made me smile and laugh.  Then he became this complicated part of my life that I didn't want to give in to.  I didn't want to step back on what I had told everyone and people were keeping me accountable to...but I have.

However, this has been a relationship that has been evolving for over a month.  And Trent and I have talked about everything under the sun.  I can honestly say, I have never been more comfortable with any other guy.  It's amazing to me. 

Trent and I started hanging out in January and soon found a really good friendship there.  The more we hung out, rarely alone, we both (at different times) realized that we liked each other.

So then I had no idea what to do.  I don't want to start a relationship when I clearly think that God was trying to keep me out of one.  Through all of this, I let Trent know.  Being the understanding guy that he is, he was willing to wait for me to be ready to start a relationship with him.

That, to me, was crazy.  Never before had I met a guy so insane, that he would possibly wait MONTHS for me.  I had no idea what to do.  This is where prayer comes in.  I did not want to make a decision hastily and therefore I prayed and waited.  Trent was just patient, he didn't understand it completely, but he was patient.  And I couldn't have appreciated it more.

I had several reasons for holding back the relationship.  1.) I told everyone that I wasn't going to and didn't want to look like a hypocrite or cause any weird reactions.  2.) I felt like God was telling me I wasn't ready.  3.) I didn't want to get into a relationship right before Poland, where I wouldn't get to see him for months.  4.) I was scared.  Period.  I was very, very scared because I was afraid the relationship would turn out bad and I didn't want to mess up anything with Trent.

So here I am basically dating the boy, but without any real commitment.  I finally feal like I'm at a place where I don't have to be afraid.  Trent and I went for a walk tonight where I explained some of my fears to him and he just reassured me.  He reassured me that things wouldn't change just because of some silly title, and that it didn't matter because he was still going to be here.

So we walked and we talked some more, and I was just really at peace.  I felt like God gave me this great guy and I was finally ready to accept it.  God knew that I could and probably would have just easily jumped into the relationship and it would have easily crumbled.  But with this time that has elapsed, God has allowed a foundation for this relationship that consists of a friendship and understanding and patience.

I know now, that the commitment shouldn't have been not to date this semester, but to allow God to place a wonderful godly man into my life when I least expect it.  And I couldn't be more thankful. 

So tonight/this morning, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now I'm able to just be comfortable in the situation that God has placed me in and know that this is right where I'm supposed to be. 

Stree

April 03 2006
So, more stress than I could ever be excited about.  I found out that my checksheet wasn't online.  So then I tried to get it put back on and the wrong one was put on.  So that was frustrating.  And now I tried to turn in the correct paper and the lady was out to lunch.  Now, I don't blame her because I like lunch as well, but just putting it all together does not help things.  Then, let me explain the importance of this checksheet.  You have to have it to pre-register online.  And since I can pre-register online before I can register in person, I would like to pre-register online.  It would make my life that much easier.  So now I'm trying to get everything done.

However, in other news, I played on photoshop last night and this is what I created.
So I think it's really pretty.  Well, that's all.  Just thought I should vent a little. 

Once again...

March 29 2006
Once again, I've found myself sitting in the box office, almost doing nothing.  Oh, the fun of it all.  However, we did find ourself with 5 people crammed in here, so that was great. 

So I have a players performance tonight but I haven't memorized the newest skit and I'm doing it with Trent and he doesn't even own the skit.  So we are going to try to work on this later before the performance.  Should be interesting.  We're going to be cutting it close...performance wise tonight.

In other news, a while lotta stress has been taken off my shoulders.  Woohoo.  I finished another website that I was freaking out about for the last week or two. 

I get my stitches out on Friday by Gene Parr, the campus minister.  That's super fun.  And then I'm running to Georgetown, OH with Trent to get his license and registration.  Should be fun.  Then maybe there will be a good movie for the free movie.  That would be great. 

I wanted to work workcall this saturday but there isn't one, so I don't know what I'm going to do.  I need to get my hours in but I don't know when I'll be able to get that done.  Things are going to get really crazy here soon.

One Acts have not started yet so it'll be exciting and chaotic to see how well it will work.  Who knows.  Anyway, I need to go to class.  I'll talk to ya'll later!

Building 429 and Relient K

March 22 2006
So, can I say that Building 429 is some of the coolest guys ever?  I mean, they are awesome!  I went to a free concert at a coffee shop on Friday night and it was so good.  They didn't play too many songs because they just wanted to hang out with us.  That was fun.  Mandy and I got their cd for only $5!  That's amazing! 

Relient K was fabulous as well.  It was really crowded and very hot but so awesome!  The doors opened 1.5 hours late so we were outside freezing for 3.5 hours.  That's not fun.  The concert made up for it though.  There were 3 opening bands and the second one wasn't too bad, but the third one was AWFUL!!!!!!  So Relient K didn't start until like 10 or 10:30.  It was crazy.  But when they started it was great.  I think everyone else was getting pushed around but I wasn't.  I was fairly comfortable.  They put on a great show.  And what's more amazing is that they don't use set lists.  That's super fun.  Although disappointing for me because I collect them.  Oh, well.  I did pick up a signed guitar pick that I didn't see them throw out.  That's kinda cool.  And I got some t-shirts, so that's super fun.  All in all, I'd do it again just for that GREAT concert!

On monday I got to go to the dermatologist and get that cyst looked at.  That wasn't so fun because they removed it and a mole from my arm so now both of those just kinda hurt.  And I found out that I genetically got passed a gene that gives me those cysts.  So who knows how many I will have to get taken out.  Funny how things work.

I've also been sewing like I told you I would.  I've made 5 or 6 purses, I can't remember.  And I still have like 2 or 3 more to go.  So I will stay busy tomorrow as well.  I think on Friday I am leaving for Nashville or Knoxville to see my cousin run a marathon.  I'll also get to see my Aunt and Uncle that I won't get to see this summer because I will  be in Poland, so that's cool.  It's too bad I won't get to see any other family.  They are great.  I have been kinda bored but I've been doing a pretty good job of occupying my mind.  I do have some homework I could do, but that doesn't sound like fun at all.  Nope, not at all.

So anyways, I'm gonna run and work on some web design stuff.  That way I won't be stressed when I go back to school.

Going home tomorrow

March 16 2006
So tomorrow I get to go home and I'm going with my good friend, Mandy.  She's awesome.  She's coming to see the Relient K concert with me.  And I will be SOOOOOOO bored over Spring Break.  There will be nothing to do but sew.  And as excited as I am about that, it will take me like a day to finish it all.  So then I have like 4 days of nothing to do.  I could do school work but that doesn't sound like fun.  Not at all.  But I'm ready to go home. 

In my directing class, we have to direct our own one-act.  Well, we have to share cast members and everything so we will all be fighting for the same people and I'm not excited at all about it.  Everyone will be fighting for the same people and that will just stress me out.  So boo for directing class. 

I need me some Moe's and some Skyline.  I'm ready to be home and get me some GOOD food! 

I think I've gotten another cyst on my scalp.  I had one removed last year and I think I've gotten another one.  If this is a trend, I don't think I like it.  It's not cool. 

Well I think I'm gonna get off of here and try to start cleaning and packing!  Love ya'll.

I can't wait to see my KIMMYBEAR!!!!!
