My Family

My name is Erin I am from Southern California. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am the only active member in my family. My parents divorced when I was only 6 months old. But don't feel sorry for me because in the case of my parents divorce was indeed the best thing that could have ever happened to my family. My mother is one of the strongest women I know. 

I have one sister who is 7 years older. We are nothing alike and as many times as we hate each other I love her so much! She is the only one that truly understands what I have been through because she was there experiencing the same things. 

I have a very different family structure compared to many Latter Day Saints. It may have been difficult growing up however now I am trying to make sure that my future family does not have to face some of the problems I did. I believe family is the foundation to having a successful life.
