| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I would have to say the funniest thing to happen to me was being chased around my yard by my uncle one Easter. I mistook a real egg for a confetti egg and cracked it on his head. He chased me around the yard and threw me in the pool once he caught me. As payback he cracked an egg on my head when I was not paying attention. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would like to return to Portugal. I lived there for a year while I was in the military and love the county's history and the people there. Plus, you can travel to other countries nearby at a low cost. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | When I have kids of my own I would like to pass on to them the life lessons I learned and was taught growing up. How to be respectful and caring to others. |
