“I am doing pretty good, actually, versus what I've just recently went through.
My nickname is Hillbilly. My real name is Erin. It's the Scottish version from Aaron from in the Bible.
My family is Scot-Irish, Norwegian and Cherokee.
I came into this city 33 days ago and was only in this city for two whole days and then me and my wife had a little dispute and we were on a honeymoon, and I ended up going to jail…
And then I was in there for 32 days and I just got released two nights ago and found out my car and my service animal are gone.
We met on Facebook seven months ago and got married four months into it at a music festival and just decided to travel to the West Coast.
So now I'm just trying to pick up what shattered pieces I have left and make a new puzzle.
Or a stained glass arrangement… or … make a new mosaic out of this monstrous picture, and then the Lord is going to be in it.
All my life I've always wanted a family. I'm 35. I kind of pictured having a career, a house, a car and a family and kids running around at about 25.”
