Erin

First off, Erin is a total bumb for moving away from us all. So a few girls from the ward went out to dinner the other night, it was so much fun. So we were all supposed to say something about Erin that we are thankful for or that we will always remember. Well if any of you know me very well I hate being put on the spot, and I am such a baby. I cry over everything. So any way, I didn't want you people out there to think that I didn't have any memories or experiences of Erin that I could share so here we go.

When Erin was new in the ward I was assigned to be her visiting teacher. I cant remember exactly what the lesson was on. It had something to do with temple work. It was my turn to do the lesson. Well I didn't feel like I was the best person to give the lesson because Greg and I had not been through the temple yet. I started to cry when telling her that we had made that goal and were trying to get there. She was so kind and said that it was worth working toward. That it would bring us happiness. She always knows what to say to make you feel good about your self. We were than put into the relief society presidency together. She would ask me if we were still working to get to the temple. I would say yes. I was so excited to finally get there and have her attend our sealing. I Want to thank her for always being a great friend . She is so fun to be around. She makes you feel like laughing all of the time. I have had some many fun memories With her. We will keep having good memories together. She is just a couple of miles away and our friendship will last forever. Thank you Erin for always being there for me. You are the greatest kind of friend. The ward will miss your family very much. We will be seeing you around.

I love the subtle clothing trend Erin's got going on in that photo. It's like when LL Cool J used to wear one pant leg up except Erin's version is much more modest. No proper lady shows more than an ankle.

Alright Kristen, where are the wrestling-"butt" shots you said you'd put on here to make us laugh?! You had to get all emotional and make me tear up!

Really, it's awesome that you are such great friends, forever friends. As Adhis said, what a sweet tribute. We really will miss having her around all the time :(

I was going to put the wrestling butt shots online, but they're a little too much butt and such.

Kristen, I didn't know you had a blog! Sheesh, I guess I'm out of the loop! I was Erin's VT once, too and felt like I left every month learning more from her than I ever taught her! I'll miss her, too!
