Questions from Kalya

 

What is your favorite childhood memory?

Oh my gosh…there are so many to choose from!  I think driving down to Florida, spending 24 hours with my parents and brother in the car playing games, singing, eating, and causing trouble on our way to visit my grandparents in Florida.  We used to go every winter break and then out east for spring break.

 

My bro and I in Florida!

My first kiss…I’m not sharing any more : )
