1. I just had my first son, Benjamin, on July 12, two days before my third wedding anniversary.

8. I'm a navy brat, but I've pretty much only lived in Jacksonville and Pensacola.
9. I have a very young family and on my dad's side, we have five generations living. My son has a GreatGreatGrandma. And she's only in her 80s.
10. I am only 4'11.
11. I played softball for 10 years. I was a catcher mostly because it made me laugh to be the smallest one and the catcher.
