My friends would be surprised to know that: My first pet was a horned frog named Gabriella! I guess I was always meant to go to TCU! Horned frog for life!

My favorite people to follow on Twitter are: I don’t have a Twitter, but I would imagine that I would love following Ellen Degeneres, because I love her show! She’s so funny and always knows how to make me laugh!

The coolest person that follows me on Twitter is: Sparky the Sundevil.

My celebrity crush is: Channing Tatum. So cute and he is such a good dancer….the perfect combination!

Three people I’d like to have dinner with: I would love to meet George W. Bush so I could hear his insight on being the President and growing up with a father who was also President. I also think Kate Middleton and Audrey Hepburn represent such elegant and classy women, so they would be at the top of my list also!

My favorite web sites/blogs are: I’m addicted to Pinterest!! I guess I could say that is one of my guilty pleasures also…I spend way too much time on that website! I also follow a lot of nutrition and health blogs, it is definitely something I am very passionate about.

My favorite phone app is: I really love Instagram, it’s a great way to share photos and play around with editing pictures!

If you looked at “most played” songs on my iPod, you’d see a lot of: Country music! Definitely all the classics, like George Strait, Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks….and also a lot of Texas country artists!

If I had to watch one movie or TV show over and over again, it would be: This is a little embarrassing…but I am such a Harry Potter fan! I don’t ever get sick of those movies, and they always put me in a good mood! I watch them over and over again and never get sick of it.

My worst habit is: I paint my nails almost on a daily basis! I also always buy Special K Cereal with Strawberries and ALWAYS take out the strawberries. Why I don’t just buy the plain Special K? Who knows…

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't currently possess is: I really wish I could sing….but that is a talent I definitely do not possess! Maybe in another life I will be a superstar like Beyonce or Carrie Underwood!

Top 3 items on my bucket list are: I would love to go on a mission trip in another country, have lots and lots of animals, and travel the world!

My favorite Professional Sports Teams is: My new favorite team is OKC Thunder! My parent’s just moved to Oklahoma City so we are new fans but I love supporting them! The whole city is so involved in supporting the team, and I love all the energy it brings to OKC!

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: I completely blanked on one of our routines at a bowl game…no worse feeling than working so hard on something and then completely messing up! Especially when all the cameras are right in front of you! Crossing my fingers that never happens to me again!

My one guilty pleasure is: Definitely ice cream. My favorite brand is Graeters, which started in my hometown, and whenever pints of black raspberry chip are in the grocery store it is not good… I now know better than to buy that because it will be gone in a day!

I'd want my last meal to be: Any good Mexican food…I could eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner without hesitation.
