"Building Dreams Together: The Tale of Erin and John’s Life, Love, and Adventures

Our story began in 2010 when we met through work—Erin as a leasing agent and John on the maintenance team. It wasn’t long before we started dating, and about seven months later, John proposed on Christmas Day 2013. Our wedding in December 2014 was nothing short of magical, a fairy tale come true. After a beautiful honeymoon in West Palm Beach, Florida, we set about establishing our careers and building our life together.

Family and friends have always been at the heart of our journey. We’re fortunate to live in the same neighborhood as Erin’s family, which allows us to be actively involved in her nephews’ lives, attending their sporting events and sharing in the everyday moments. We also cherish our time with John’s family, including his mom, aunts, and cousins, who play a significant role in our lives. Our godchildren are incredibly important to us and are a cherished part of our family.

As our lives evolved, we moved twice before settling into our current home, close to Erin’s family. In 2024, we expanded our family farm, adding sheep, a donkey named Pearl, and a few cats, which we visit a few weekends each month. While we enjoy the vibrancy of city life with easy access to shopping and activities, we also love the serenity of Erin’s hometown. Our home is shared with two spunky golden doodles, Goose and River, who add their own special touch. Erin’s passion for home interior design and John’s love for the outdoors create a harmonious balance in our life together.

Our Family

One of our favorite traditions is visiting our family’s ranch, which has been in Erin’s family for over 20 years. We go multiple times a year, with Thanksgiving being a particularly special occasion. We cherish this time for cooking, spending time outdoors, and gathering around the campfire with family. The ranch provides a perfect setting for creating lasting memories and celebrating together, reinforcing the importance of family and the joy of shared moments.

Our Home

Family, Friends, and Community: The Heart of Our Home

We live in a warm and inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled within a tight-knit community that offers the charm and comfort of small-town living. Our home reflects who we are, with each room thoughtfully designed to create a cozy, welcoming environment. Erin has a natural talent for decorating, and she loves celebrating different holidays, ensuring that our home always feels festive and joyful. Whether it’s the glow of Christmas lights or the bright colors of spring, our home is where every season comes to life.

Our neighborhood is one of the most cherished aspects of our lives. It’s an established community with deep roots, where neighbors know each other by name and there’s always a friendly face to greet you. The area has a wonderful sense of camaraderie, making it feel like a small town within the larger city. We love bumping into family and friends around town, whether at the local gas station, our nephews’ sporting events, or community gatherings. This sense of connection makes our neighborhood special—a place where relationships are built and everyone feels they belong.

Our community also offers incredible local amenities that enhance our daily lives. We’re surrounded by amazing local restaurants, from casual bites to fine dining, and charming boutiques alongside larger retail centers. New districts have brought even more vibrancy, featuring farmers' markets, handmade goods, and events that draw the community together. Whether it’s a weekend market, a seasonal festival, or an outdoor concert, there’s always something happening that brings our community to life.

We appreciate the balance between city convenience and the tranquility of a close-knit neighborhood. We have easy access to all the amenities of a larger city, yet we always feel close to the warmth and familiarity of our small-town atmosphere. Our home and community provide the perfect backdrop for the life we’ve built together—a life filled with love, laughter, and the simple joys of everyday living. From festive decorations that make our home special to the rich community connections that make us feel supported, we’re blessed to live in a place that feels like home in every sense of the word.
