AWWW You Shouldnt Have...But BOY i'm GlaD u DiD
Hi my name is Erica. I am a college graduate who relocated to Nashville, Tennessee about a two years ago from a small village in Kentucky called Vine Grove. Majority of the time people have no clue where that is, so I simply just say Fort Knox. And no...I have know earthly idea if there is any gold there. I love my life and all the amazing people in it. My friends are literally spread across the entire United States and I miss them dearly.We are all very successful in our own creative way. I believe that we as humans are more alike then we are different so we all need to make a huge attempt to just get along. I have always had a love for writing. Well not just writing but talking to. I am the girl that raises their hand to keep the discussion going after the teacher says" Well if there isn't anything left to talk about you all can leave." (This is the part where I raise my hand). My parents have always told me to have an opinion, speak up for yourself, let your voice be heard. I guess that is the reason why I am the way that I am. The adjective quiet would never describe me. Well maybe, if I am in church and even then I am not stone cold quiet like I am suppose to be.
My siblings are amazing and I don't know how to fight however I will beat someone up that messes with them...(Stop the violence) . Needless to say, thanks for stopping by my blog. Sometimes by reading what other people are going through or what they have been through gives you reassurance that everything in your life is going to be ok. No one has time for negative thoughts anymore. That is like so yesterday and so middle school. Be nice to people, laugh, love, live life and most of all express yourself.
Right now I'm currently on a rollercoaster called life and I am enjoying every second of it. I do what I want when I want to and how I want to. I hope God is pleased with me. I hope you enjoy the blog. Feel free to leave comments, and feel free not to leave them. However most defintely read. Let me know what you think send me an email sometime ericanewby@ymail.com See ya soon! And always remember to smile, believe me it makes you feel a whole lot better.

IT IS AS CLEAR AS MUD!

I'm going to be 25. OMG! That is old. Seriously people, I'm half way to 50 and 50 is basically damn near retirement. The only cool thing about being 25 is that I am old enough to be an adult and still have my parents be really young. Well I guess that just depends on how old your parents were when they decided to have you. My parents were young when they were getting it cracking ( my daddy says it was in the backseat of a car LOL) . Anyways, since they are still young and hip I can actually relate to them better now at this age then when I was 18. Needless to say on September 7th ( the day Tupac was shot), I Erica Newby will be 25.
I remember in my sophomore year of undergrad I had like my goal list of everything that I was going to have accomplished by the time I was 25. Then as a 21 year old, I didn't realize how fast that was going to come. I had some really realistic things on my list such as own a home, live in Boston, have a real man, have my student loans paid off. Those things were realistic then, but now Lord help me ( bows head and says Lord's Prayer).
I hate to toot my own horn. Actually I don't hate to toot it. I have accomplished some really great things. I have a Bachelors Degree. I pay ALL of my bills ( even though my sister April swears my granny pays my rent), I have 30% of my student loans paid and I got approved for a mortgage loan. The thing is my life is as clear as mud right not ( hence the picture) . I'm not for sure what I am going to do. I have changed a lot therefore my goals and dreams have changed as well. I still have a love for Boston, however Miami seems more affordable at the moment. (Google Boston real estate and prepare to be AMAZED)
It's just a lot of stuff to think about. Thank God I don't have any kids because my whole game plan would have to change. I'm to selfish for that right now. I use to not want any kids at all..now since I am deeply in love...I might want to adopt a little black girl one day and name her Veronica. LMAO!!!!!!! I'm unclear about a lot of things but that was definitely a joke no snotty brats for me. I already promised my brother I would be his surrogate anyways.
The wonderful thing about being 25 is simply that. I'm going to be 25. Many people do not even have the opportunity to turned 25. Some people don't even get the joy of being 25 because they have kids, or are on drugs, or homeless I mean the possibilities are endless.
So I guess you can say even though right now my future is as clear as mud I'm grateful for 25 to come. I'm really at a good point at my life so I am happy. My career is stable, which means my financially life is stable. I'm in a growing relationship with a 22 year old so that keeps me hip, and my family and friends still get on my nerves like normal so basically I welcome 25. Let the good times begin.
Whether you are turning 25, 16, 60, or 50 at least your are turning a year older. So that means a year of something new and that is pretty exciting.
P.S. All birthday gifts can be sent to my mom and dad's house in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Just shoot me an email for the address or you can drop them off and leave them on the back patio.
