Role Model: My best friend, Emily. She is one of the most compassionate people I've ever met, and she always reminds me to be kind to everyone because you don't always know someone's full story.
Shining Hour: Running my first 15-mile run. I've been training for a 15-mile race, and I needed to know I could run the full 15 miles before the race, so I just decided one day I was going to go out and try it. I was so excited that I could do it, I had a big grin on my face the whole last mile.
Quote: "Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you." - Annie Dillard
Guilty Pleasure: Peanut butter and chocolate (when I can't find peanut butter cups, I've been known to dip chocolate in a jar of peanut butter), and cuteoverload.com - it's a website just for pictures of adorable animals!
Places I've Been: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Germany, and lots of places in the U.S. I actually went to Florida for the first time this year!
Dream Vacation: To backpack around South America or eat my way around Italy
Biggest Fear: That one day I'll look back on my life and wish I had done more. And ants. Ugh, gross.
Pet Peeves: When people ask for your opinion on something but then don't bother to listen to what you have to say. What's the point??
