If you could leave a legacy for your family what would it be?
I want my girls to have the same attitude that I have...I can do anything! I've always believed no matter what the challenge was in front of me that I could overcome it...I could beat it...I would not accept defeat. I want them to know that they can be and do whatever they want if they have pride, dedication, and never give up. Work hard and learn everything you possibly can because learning how to do something is the first step in overcoming it!

What is your first memory of home?
My dad pushing me in a toy pedal car...he had to push me because believe it or not my legs were too short to reach the pedals! I was short and pudgy until I was about 6 years old.

Friendly...I've never met a stranger!

Procrastinating...I almost forgot to fill this thing out!
