  13. Favorite Book: The Hunger Games series is my current.

  14. You’re hero/ someone who has impacted your life: I have two heroes. My grandfather, June Bastian. My husband, Taylor is the second. If you want to know why you can ask. :)

  15. An embarrassing story about you: I have bitten a girl’s butt. Confused? Let me explain further. In high school, we were cheering our basketball team at state. At half-time, we performed, and somehow, and I don’t even know how, my flyer was coming down. My side bases were nowhere to be found. I wasn’t a fan of having anyone hitting the ground on my watch (I was a back base for those who are following). So she landed on me. My body was her mat. We recovered and continue our half-time show. I noticed my flyer, Madie had blood coming down from her butt in the shape of a U. I had no idea how she exactly got her wound. I told her about it when we got off the court. I was in so much shock at what had happened, and I stood at the side of the court for a while without calling out a cheer (I was captain). I opened my jaw to call a cheer minutes later after my heart stopped racing, and it was so sore! I had then realized the shape of her wound was of my lower jaw. It was so embarrassing. “I bit a girl’s butt and I liked it!” Oh man, the memories of high school.

  16. Favorite super hero and why? I switch between Iron Man and Thor. Iron Man has a funny sense of humor. However, Thor appeals to me because he is someone who had everything and lost everything, and gained it all back being humbled in the process. And there is something noble and sexy about that.

  17. Dream place to travel? Anywhere in Europe, I’m down!

  18. Any hidden talents? Most people don’t know that I play the piano anymore. I was called to play the piano in a lot of callings in my religious organization for about 10 years and I got so sick of it that now it is something I hide. I also play the flute.

  19. What is your greatest fear? I dislike this question very much! I have a fear of being rejected and a fear that people don’t love and/or care about me.  

  20. What accomplishment are you most proud of? Getting into UCDH. It took me so long to get here because of my fear and the unbelief of so many (including myself) that I couldn't accomplish this dream of mine.

  21. When you were a kid what did you want to be? When I was a toddler, I wanted to be a concert pianist. A few years later, I wanted to be a marine biologist because of a fascination I had with dolphins.

  22. Favorite Holiday: Christmas. I love being cozy, sitting at the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa looking out to a snow filled place. Surrounded with family and making memories.

  23.Favorite animal: Dolphins and horses. I also like dogs and cats.

  24. Favorite season: Fall. I love wearing the clothes suited for the season and my fair skin can have its chance to glow after a long filled summer of ugly pale skin!

  25. Any pet peeves? This may sound silly. I don’t have any. If I did I would notice those pet peeves seen in the great people around me. And that wouldn’t be fun, positive or fair to the person next to me. It doesn’t mean things don’t bother me sometimes, but my way of thinking is the best for me in my life.

  26.Favorite Music: I like just about anything, as long as it doesn’t scream or is vulgar.

  27.Do you have any pet? Does half a pet count? My in-laws have a German Shepherd named Zoey. We live with them and she loves my husband more than anyone in the family.

  28. Favorite quote: I have tons of quotes that I love, but I’ll share a good one for school that helps my mindset when everyone starts stressing out. This quote can also apply to being stressed. “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere” – Anonymous

  29. Favorite age and why? I have to say 21. It was the one of the worst yet happiest time of my life. I grew and learned a lot of life lessons in those 12 months.

   Any other interesting things that weren't asked that we should know? I love life. I love friends and family. I love doing fun things, especially girly things. I am pretty much an open book. And I am baby hungry.
