Site Owner/Designer/Editor:
Hey! My name is Erika. I am 19 years old and I opened www.ily637.com officially on January 1st 2oo9! I have been playing with graphic design and html for a little over 3 years now, and previously ran a layout site through myspace - Silent Rank Designs, I got tired of the set up and decided to branch out and get a domain! I am into tattoos, photography, getting drunk, making mistakes && making  memories. Making a stand, proving a point, learning, teaching & growing. Live music is the most intoxicating thing I have ever experienced and I love going to shows.  I believe in individuality. I believe in being yourself - && following your heart. I believe in dreaming big && being modest. I believe in girls with meat on their bones, not stick figures. I believe in second chances && short apologies. I believe that chivalry still exists. and  that everyone deserves to be happy, even if it is at someone else's expense. I believe that you can capture part of someone's soul, the very essence of a person, in a good picture. I believe that family is everything && that happiness can be found in practically anything. I am a very creative person.. in everything I do. I love to make stuff, bake, create things, write, build, explore - just express myself. && I really hope that you can find stuff on this site, that allows you to express yourself 100%. I have lived in California for about 2 years with my husband, Joseph. He is a Sergeant in the Marine Corps and I am very proud of him. He actually is the one who inspired me to create my site during our first deployment. He inspires alot of the things I do or create. We got engaged when I was 16 in South Carolina and married just 5 days after I turned 17. We have never looked back. We have our problems and our fights - but we have always come out on top.. together.. hand in hand. We appreciate each other and I think that is one of the things that has held us together. He is amazing.. He is my inspiration, he is the cheese to my macaroni, the redbull to my jager, the bacon to my eggs. He's my everything. I also have some of the most amazing friends ever. I know everyone says that - but I wish you could have the opportunity to hang out with us. We are all pretty amazing. They mean alot. I am a very social person.. and have a million friends. I am honestly a complete party animal. If there is anything else you would like to know about me - you can read my blogs, here on the website,  or you can email me at erika@ily637.com. 

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ME:
I am not good at any sports, other than beerpong && yes, I believe beerpong is a real sport. * I believe that memories are the most precious thing there is. I don't measure my life by materialistic things or money. I really enjoy being able to look back on all the memories I have created with the people who mean the most. * My little sister, Hailee, is my hero. Most people say "I am the coolest person you'll ever meet." or blah blah blah. But I can honestly say that Hailee - is the most amazing, hilarious, unique, fun, gorgeous person I have ever met. She means the world to me and is also my best friend. She is unbelievably mature for 17 and she teaches me so much. * I honestly believe that one day, the whole zombie epidemic, will happen.. I am not fully prepared but I will be ready when it happens. * I don't have any regrets about my life, but a few times, I wish I would have said what I was feeling or thinking but didn't or maybe I thought I had more time to say these things. * I have watched every single Edward Norton and Will Ferrel movie. I love those guys and never get sick of anything they act in. * I hate math.. always have, always will. I don't get it, it confuses me && gives me migranes. HATE is a nice way to describe my feelings towards algebra && calculus. * I'm pretty sure that I could live off vitamin water, loud music and good conversations. I enjoy disney movies and random advertures with my friends.


I hope you guys will love the design team I chose! I haven't had a site partner in such a long time! I know these girls are all amazingly talented.. && for as picky as I am - I know they won't disappoint. I have picked the girls with the most talent - not necessarily experience - but love for designing.
