Why Erica is awesome

Over the 4^th of July weekend, Erica flew back in to surprise dad for his birthday. On the day before she left, she found out that someone broke into her house earlier that day. Obviously she was distraught over what happened, but what she did when she flew back home was amazing.

If something like that happened to me, the minute I landed back home, I'd rush to my house and start an inventory in my head of everything I could remember. Not Erica though. When she landed, Tucker picked her up, and they went out sailing. Absolutely amazing. There's no way that I could do that at all.

Other little things for this month why she's awesome include (but are not limited to):

1) Finishing her master thesis. She said she will be defending it on the 26^th of July in Monterey.
2) Coming to visit us on the 6^th of August.
3) Moving (back) to Germany.
4) Taking this amazing shot of the Golden Gate Bridge on her camera. Her film camera, mind you (Erica's old school like that).

Maybe next week I'll write about how awesome my sister-in-law Beth is. She did just get engaged, so that's pretty much awesome in itself.
