About Me: I’m a Tri-State area “lady,” through and through. A big chunk of my life has been split between NYC and Connecticut, and I’m finally heading down south to live with Mr. Marmalade. Our long distance relationship has been one adventure after the next, we’ve spent time in Texas, Louisiana, Florida,and Georgia, thanks to his military career. Next to Mr. Marmalade, my loves include live music, useless trivia, shoes, design, and my crazy half-tiger kitty, Oliver. I have a passion for food and wine, and I’ve been known to travel long distances to get my hands on the best meals. I come from a tight-knit big fat Greek Ecuadorian family—we’re loud, we talk with our hands, and we spend hours talking loudly with our hands over large meals. I’m going to miss them so much as I pack up and begin my life, far away from home. But with Mr. Marmalade by my side, I’m ready to take on whatever may come. Next up: our wedding!
