Hello my name is: Erikka

Hi everyone! I am excited to begin my blogging adventure with you. That being said, let me tell you a little about myself. I am a young college student who does not really have a career in mind but is enjoying school nonetheless. My passions in life include the love of animals, the outdoors, adventures of any shape and form, fashion, art, books books and more books, and the general joys of living. In this blog I want to share with you some of the things that I love and that make my life worth living in the hopes that you will enjoy them also. So for my first post I would love to introduce you to some of the things that bring me the most happiness. 

This is Luke and the love of my life. We are each other's best friends and still enjoy each other's company very much.

These are my babies! The dog's name is Ellie and the cat's name is Vanna White (how clever, right?).

Vanna is a 6-month-old Persian who has recently been diagnosed with two different kinds of heart disease. It was quite a devastation for me but now I am devoted to keeping her healthy and happy for as long as possible. Ellie is a year and a half old and was a rescued puppy from some owners who picked her up on the side of the road in Canada.They drove her all the way down to Washington in an ice cooler only to starve and kill two of her siblings. At the time Ellie was no more than 5 weeks old and less than 2lbs. She is definitely in good hands now and has fattened up quite a bit since then!

Finally, I'd just like to say that I am one of the many lucky people to have been able to grow up in the Pacific Northwest. Here, we are quite bias and like to believe that our chunk of land is one of the most beautiful and spectacular places not only in America, but perhaps the world. No matter where life takes me I will always consider the Pacific Northwest home.

Oh and P.S. it really doesn't rain here as much as you might think!
