About Me

I'm Erin. I recently moved into a townhome in Jupiter with my boyfriend and we're LOVING the area and our beautiful dog-friendly beach! I moved back to FL from NJ in July after working for an investor relations firm for a year in Manhattan. Now, I've joined my boyfriend and his mom in the catering business. I'm no chef, but I help out with the prepping and serving, as well as the behind-the-scenes admin stuff. It's been a big year for change and I'm lovin' life.
My typical day involves kissing my boyfriend goodbye in the morning, getting some work done (as well as housework) before he comes home, then heading to the beach where we practice flying our kite... as well as surf, lay out and collect little orange and white striped seashells to add to our "Jupiter Bowl." :) Of course, once the season begins, it'll be more like catering, catering, catering... but for the most part, we're still on vacation.
More about me... I have a small, but incredible family, and although they drive me a bit crazy at times, I wouldn't trade them for the world. I have an amazing boyfriend who I am absolutely thrilled to make a part of my everyday life, and two amazing girlfriends I was blessed to "run into" during my first week of college. I treasure the fun times we've had and am excited for those still to come!
I'm an outdoor enthusiast and a volleyball aficionada. Nothing makes me happier than a day spent at the beach. I love Mexican food, sushi and anything my boyfriend makes. I love to travel and plan to do a heck of a lot more. For the next year, I'm counting on NY, CA and Dominica for starters.
Other than that, I'm very content with my life right now. I'm thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I've had and the great people I've met. I've been lucky to do a lot in my short 24 years and I can't wait to accomplish so much more.

"I don’t know you. I don’t care."

And many more

And no one sang "and many more." Because there won't be many more. So the birthday is bittersweet. And it brings a tear to my eye.

Are people born wicked... or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?
