What was your favorite placement and why?

I love the American Girl Fashion Show. It is such an amazing fundraiser that has a lot of things going on-it gets young girls and their families to participate in a weekend event that is creating memories they will cherish forever. The event is big, with so many moving parts- it’s awesome to watch how it all comes together.

What is your favorite thing about living in Omaha?

I grew up in a very small farm town, so Omaha is a BIG, yet a small town to me. It has a variety of events to appeal to any personality. So, to me the diversity it has to offer, yet small town feel.

What is your favorite song?  Billy Joel-Uptown girl

What is your favorite season and why?
I like summer. We are a very active family so when the weather gets nice it’s great to be outdoors-working in the yard, hiking, bike rides-you name it!

What is your favorite book or the last good book you read?
Out of the spin cycle-by Jen Hatmaker. It was a gift from a good friend and is truly a reminder that as women our roles change on a dime so it’s good to know that there are ways to lighten our loads…

What is your favorite television show?  The Voice

What is one of your favorite quotes?

Read this the other day, pretty catchy “The purpose of life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely with a preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out shouting, ‘woohoo, what a ride!”  -unknown
