both

Who is one of your role models and why? 

            My grandmothers.  They were both strong women in their time and could get their              hands dirty and throw a glam party.  But the best thing is that they saw people for who they were and not the color of skin or religion or anything else that made them different than they were.  This I find admirable because of the time that they lived in, and what all they saw in their lifetime.

Milkshake ... lol [LOVED this answer]

Ireland for the rich history and castles

ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

WITNESS: No.

ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Go skydiving, learn the guitar, make a difference in someone’s life, travel across Europe, and compose a piano piece.

Hmmm. Silly and trustworthy!

If you were a Star Trek [or Star Wars] character, which one would it be?

According to one of my nicknames, I would suit the role of Wookie/Chewbacca quite nicely. But if I had the choice, of course Princess Lea! Who could resist those braided buns?!

If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

“Yes, all these events really did happen to one person.” [To say she is accident-prone … would be an injustice to accident-prone people everywhere.]

What is the one food you could never give up?

Pizza!

Do you like to sing in the shower?

Yes, of course!

"When I wear a side-scrunchy, all is right with the world."

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I will be working as a dental hygienist, hopefully married, and starting a family!

What is the last book you read for pleasure?

I don’t read for pleasure….school takes up too much time! Haha. Sad, I know. But if I had to pick one, it would be “The Secret Journal of Brett Colton.”

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Neither!! I really like my sleep haha

Who is one of your role models and why?

My older brother, Josh. He is so supportive and loving in every way, and he is my best friend. He always knows when to call and say just what I need to hear.

Do you have any hidden talents? What are they?

Yes. I can make a dang good chicken dinner! I also have a history of being a parade/performance baton twirler. Velvet leotard, red lipstick included. ;) [I think we now have an SAB event idea. Who wants to see Brooke perform?]

My grandmother.

If you had a theme song, what would it be?

“God bless the broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, because I feel like there are several interpretations to that song and my life is always throwing new curveballs my way.

And I’m such a fan of Rascal Flatts, it had to be one of their songs! ;)

Which areas of the world would you like to explore and why? 

As vague and non-specific as this may be, I want to travel all around the world! I think there is so much to learn about the history of the world in each area that I could never absorb enough culture and information from just one or two areas! [The Probe sees a pattern with SAB; we all like to travel!]

Dedicated, faithful, and willing.

Tell me a joke.
