1. What are the three things you can never be without while traveling?

My bible, my pillow, my iPod.

2. If you didn’t play professional soccer, what other profession would you want to try – and why?

I would definitely be a sports broadcaster. Mainly college football, but I would love to do just about anything!

3. What’s your perfect day off?

Hanging with my husband and dogs and doing whatever pops in our heads!

4. What famous person most inspires you and why?

To be honest, I am truly inspired by my parents. There isn’t a famous person who inspires me more than they do. Don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of famous people, but when it comes to inspiring me, I can’t think of anyone more than my parents. I know lame, but that’s me.

5. If you had a dinner party, who are the four people you would invite (can be living or dead)?

Esther (from the Bible), Jennifer Aniston, Tim Tebow, John Smoltz.

6. If there were one adjective to describe you, what would it be?

Consistent.

Right now I have some Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, T.I. and Rihanna, Kevin Rudolph, POD-it is always changing though!
