1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
To be the best mom, wife, daughter and friend that I am able to be. Wanting the people that are in my life to be able to know how much I truly value them, friends and family are very important to me, and every person that has come into my life has had an impact on me and has made me the person that I am today.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
My perfect day is spending time with my family. We all enjoy watching TV, playing board games and just laughing with each other. Watching my children tease and joke around with each other is priceless. At Christmas time, we have an indoor snowball fight, which can get very intense but always fun. Spending any day with my family is my definition of a perfect day.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Showing my children, friends and family that you can achieve anything if you work hard. Losing over 120 lbs. was a difficult road but worth the battle. I get up every day rain or shine and do something to maintain my personal weight loss. I enjoy helping others with their weight loss journey, from being a walking buddy, helping them maintain a workout schedule or just being a good listener. I will always try to help anyone achieve their goals no matter what they are.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
A teddy bear named Crunchy. She has been with me ever since I was 5 years old and she was my best friend and has wiped away many tears of sadness and joy she even helped me pull out a tooth but that’s a whole different story. Even though now my best friend is my husband I know that if I need Crunchy all I have to do is dust her off and give her a big hug and it’ll be just like old times.
