For starters, I have already told you my name is Erin. That's actually my middle name...the whole thing is Jennifer Erin Jones, but I use Erin because every other female child born in 1975 was also named Jennifer. When I went to kindergarten, I began to go by Jenni, because a nasty boy in my preschool class had informed me that Erin (Aaron) was a BOY'S name, because it was HIS name, and therefore, I couldn't have it. I was a real crybaby then, so I went home and refused to answer to Erin anymore. But, by 6th grade I had gotten over it, and I went back to Erin. This was partially because like I said, every other girl in my class was named Jennifer, and partially because I realized Erin was a really cool name, it meaning "Ireland" and all. *grin*
I'm 25 years old, and I live in Ft. Worth, Texas, where I've lived since I was 9 years old. Before that, I lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland is where my mom grew up, and it's where most of her side of my family still lives, though there are the stray relatives in Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, and California. My dad grew up in Ft. Worth, and this is where most of his side of my family lives. So how did two people from Cleveland, Ohio and Ft. Worth, Texas meet and get married? Well, they served proudly in the United States Army of course! My parents met and married in Massachusetts, and were then sent to Germany, where they welcomed me into the world at 5:56 pm on July 26, 1975.
I could keep writing ALL DAY about myself, my family, my life, and the things I like to do, but I think at this point I'll let you off the hook. If you care to know more, you can read it all on my info page.
