ABOUT ME

My name is Erika, and I'm pretty much a 25 year old rock star. I live here in St. Joseph, MI with my 35 year old husband Samer. We met in Ghana during a study abroad experience and have been married 5 years. Samer is originally from Lebanon and speaks excellent English & Arabic.
We have a large Rhodesian Ridge back Dog named Puppin, 2 cats: the partially insane Monkey and the senior kitty Mr. Noodles. We also have a Parrot Stanley and a tropical fish named Waheed. They all love to meet new people!
