Fun or Interesting Fact
I convinced my husband to get a dog by volunteering to raise a service pup for 1 year through Paws with a Cause. We found it way too difficult to give them up, so now we have our own golden retriever named Max.

Favorite College Memory
I have lots of great memories! One memory took place freshmen year. I was riiding bikes with my roommate and she needed to drop off some dry cleaning. As we pulled up to the shop front, she got off her bike and leaned against a huge store front window - and the entire window came crashing down around her. After realizing neither of us were hurt - we didn't know what to do - but we found ourselves laughing uncontrollably until the staff came running out to see what happened.
