11 Questions Given to ME
1) What is one piece of marriage advice you would give someone?
- Marriage isn't always easy and it takes a lot of work, love and patience to keep the peace. Try to give one another 100% everyday. On days where your spouse doesn't give 100%, give him 110% and vice versa.
2) Beach or mountains?
- Mountains - I love the cooler weather and being able to bundle up and snuggle
3) You are given $1000--what would you buy?

- I would say Instagram. I LOVE looking at and taking pictures of my friends and family.

- I loved birthdays, because my mom would take us to the bakery and let us pick out our own cake and having friends over for slumber parties always made lasting memories.
