So, I have highly neglected this blogging page. It's sad, but true. (haha, that last sentence just made me think of the little mermaid when the sea witch is singing her song "It's sad, but true." hahaha!) Anyway, back on track. Yes, I have managed to avoid posting and while my reason is semi valid ... it's still just an excuse. Not that anyone gets on to this page but Megan ... but hey, I will do what I can to improve my blog posting duties! (claimed for the second time)What I had ingeniously planned was to work my way backwards from when I came to Alaska and inlightnen you about all of my great adventures during my time in Juneau before Anchorage. However, now I'm just going to give a quick synopsis and call it a day, becuase I've been waiting for my ingeniousness to kick in before I posted anything, and quite frankly ... it's lacking ... in many ways.So I came from Idaho to Alaska 5 years ago. I lived in Juneau with my beautiful Aunt Jill and crazy uncle Soapy (refer to below pictures). They took me in (becuase they didn't know what they were getting into) when I had decided to pack up and move to Alaska where my boyfriend (the love of my life and person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with) was going to school. Plan was, live in Juneau for a year, get my residency, go to Anchorage (where my boyfriend was ...) and start school there. And no, Anchorage is not a couple hours driving distance, we're talking ferry boat ride and all day road trip to get there. If you didn't already know, Juneau's only access is by boat or plane. Well, we all know, nothing truly goes as planned. Especially in Erin world. So I spent my year in Juneau, said my tearful goodbyes to my Aunt and Uncle and made my trip through to Anchorage. There I spent 3 years living with my boyfriend while he was going to school and working full time (each). I started work at Credit Union 1, which I loved and decided to stay with and move up in food chain until I reached Assistant Branch Manager. My boyfriend and I seperated. It was the hardest thing I've ever gone through, but nothing anyone reading this hasn't heard about over and over and over. It's been a year and a half since we parted. I got my own place, had a great roommate, started dating a spetacular guy. The roommate thing turned sour, so I got myself a new place with another great roommate whom I've been with for the last year (also see picture below). He's great and my Mommy loves him. I still work for Credit Union one ... and I may have left details out. But that is the long and short of it. I will fill you in as I go. :) Now I can post pictures and not worry about my original plan of going in order of events. This page will never ... I promise ... never ... be well organized. It just isn't in me!
