What are some of your fondest memories from growing up in Princeton?

We were so lucky to grow up in simple times. I think about how we hung out @ the old pizza barn on Friday nights and how many field parties we created! I remember toilet papering friends homes in the middle of the night, drunken nights @ Ally's house, and working @ Taco John's until 1:00 am the night before a volleyball tournament with Tanya! I have so many wonderful memories of our little town.
What song always takes you "back in time"?

Anything by Motley crüe and poison.

What is one thing that people might be surprised to know about you now, compared to what they knew about you as a kid?

I am a very loving parent. I didn't really think I would ever have kids. I cry at weddings and church services!

What friend(s) from Princeton has always, and will always, be one of your best?

Julie and Tanya I have stayed close to over the years. Julie was even in my first wedding! I enjoy seeing anyone from the past, as I think it's pretty cool to see us as adults!
