1. What did you do immediately after high school?
I moved to Springfield where I attended MSU. I received my B.S. in International Business, Spanish minor.
2. What kind of work do you do? Where do you work?
Up until October 12, I worked at the Springfield Brewing Company. October 13, I had a baby girl, so now I get to stay home with her. Very challenging and very rewarding at the same time.
3. Where have you lived since high-school graduation?
Here in Spring-patch and Sittard, Netherlands. It was a blast.
4. Name of significant other? How did you meet your significant other?
Mr. Wonderful's name is Brad. We met at the Brewery. We have been together almost 5 years.
5. Do you have any children? Tell us about them.
Like I said, Makenna Grace joined our little family in October. Honestly I didn't think I liked kids until I had one! She is the sweetest, cutest little thing in all the land. We learned to crawl this week, so it has been way fun. We also have two pups, Buddy and Ally.
6. What is your favorite high-school memory?
Wow, there are so many...skipping school going to the creek, road trips in the LTD, the Jamboree in Nixa we never made it to, creek/field parties, Teresas basement, AD's house parties when the 'rents went out of town, the benches, home-ec our senior year....I'm sure there are quite some more, but it gets foggy.
7. What did you hate most about high school?
Boyfriends were dumb. Too much drama.
8. If you could do high school all over again, what would you do differently?
Wouldn't change a thing. Everything we all went through helped shape us into the people we are today. Ok, I might've ditched class a few more times to go to the river with Missy, Durb and Matty Moore.
9. If you could, what would you change about yourself since high-school graduation?
Not a thing. Maybe a boob job. Joking! Not a thing.
10. What is one thing you wish you’d known ten years ago?
Boys are dumb. Hehehe. Stay in school to keep the scholarships so I would not have to be paying for college for the rest of my natural life.
11. What is one goal you’d like to accomplish in the next ten years?
To be the best mom I can be as I watch our family grow.
12. Are you coming to the NHS reunion? If so, what are you most looking forward to?
Hells yeah, I think it'll be a trip. I'm most looking forward to all of us girls going out to get Chelsey and drag her with us! I kid, I kid. I think it will be cool to see what everyone has done with their lives.
