If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose? Belle from Beauty and the Beast; she's gorgeous and courageous and brave.  

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? I wish I could rebuild old muscle cars.

What chore do you absolutely hate doing? I hate taking the garbage out. It makes my hands feel too dirty. 

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time? I love researching new, random topics to learn new things about the world.

What do you think is your very best feature or characteristic? I forgive people very easily, and always give people another chance. 

What is the "thing" you are most grateful for? I love my bed! It's amazing on my back and helps me stay nice and toasty. 

What is your dream vacation? My dream vacation is to go to Rio de Janeiro for the FIFA World Cup in 2014 with my husband!

What's the coolest thing you've ever done? I traveled to London with my mom and my younger sister, and when we were walking around the Tower of London, we saw Nathan Fillion! We got pictures with him!

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose? My husband and I were in the same ballroom dance class, we quickly became friends, then started dating off and on, became serious, and then got engaged! When he proposed, we went to go walk under Christmas lights in the Riverwoods, he took me under shooting star lights and asked me what I would wish for if I could have anything. Then he got down on one knee, and opened up the ring case that held the most beautiful ring I've ever seen in my entire life, and asked if I would marry him. He's so romantic!

The best thing about being married is: Trevor is my built-in best friend. He's amazing.

What do you and your husband like to do together? We ballroom dance, cook, and watch movies!

What would be your perfect day? The perfect day would be to sleep in, go exercise in the morning with Trevor, make lunch together, see our families in the afternoon, go out to eat dinner at Tucano's, catch a fun movie, and eat tons of ice cream for dessert!

What was the best advice you got/would give on marriage? Always appreciate everything your spouse does. 

What story does your family always tell about you? They don't actually have a set story.
