I was reading my friend Tonya's blog the other day. She had written about a few of her embarrassing moments in life. They were so cute, I laughed as I could picture her going through them all. It got me to thinking of a few of the less proud moments of my life and thought I would share just a couple.
1. When I was in junior high I watched the movie "The Stand" with my mom, dad and sister. If you have never seen or heard of it, it is a Stephen King movie about a virus that gets loose from the government and kills about 70-80% of the worlds population. Well after the movie was over I turned to my dad and asked him if the movie was based on a true story. I know the question had to have sounded more intelligent in my head.
2. In college I went on a date with a boy and he had taken me to the park to have a picnic after church. We were flirting and he started to chase me so I grabbed the blanket that we were having the picnic on , wrapped it around my shoulders and started to run. All of a sudden he wasn't playful anymore and he yelled for me to stop. It was then that I realized that my nice long skirt had gotten caught up in the blanket and the back of it was up around my shoulders. I wanted to DIE!
3. When I was in about 5th grade I was in a family theatre play called "hagar the horrible". I had the part of a peasant. When we all had to get up and announce to the group our roles in the play I got so nervous that I told everyone that I was playing to part of a pheasant. I honestly didn't know what a peasant or a pheasant was.
4. Just this last Christmas Michaels family had a party at his sisters house where santa clause came to visit all of the children. Well somebody was video taping everything and set down the camera but did not turn it off. You can imagine my horror when the grandkids were watching the video one evening and I saw that I had stepped in front of the camera for about 10 minutes. It was not a pretty sight seeing my bum cover Matthew and Kaylees huge T.V. screen. It didn't help that I was 8 months pregnant at the time either.
I would love to hear some of your "Proud Moments."

Erin 10 minutes of your toosh is better than 10 minutes of swinging sidewalk. Ask mom about that. HAHA. I love that I can laugh at my moments now. Love your moments. Thanks for the laugh. Love ya, Aubs
oh erin i love you. thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. You and Tonya are both braver than me.
Erin you're so cute and innocent! I love it and want to be just like you. Cute post! And I heard about the evacuation today. That is CRAZY! I'm glad you and Mike are okay. Hope to see you soon! It's been a while.
Erin, love the update. Isn't it great that eventually we can laugh about our most embarrassing moments. I guess it's because we know everyone has one moment in their life that they will never forget, unfortunately! I have often heard about missionaries learning foreign languages and if they miss one letter in a pronounciation it completely changes the word. Can you imagine someone learning English and saying they had PEASANT for dinner, instead of PHEASANT. Accidental cannibalism. PS, Aub, that is not funny!
Wow! Those are great Erin. Thanks for the laugh. I miss living underneath you. I hope you are having a great summer.
