I have grown up around horses. Ever since I could remember I have been in the presence of these gentle giants. I have competed in events from barrels to cross-country jumping. I love the thrill of being on a horse and having to trust that they aren't going to hurt me. I have had a totally of 3 of my own horses throughout my life. I love that every horse is different and can teach me something new every time I get on. Horses are a way that I am able to escape to another world and relief stress. I wouldn't have it any other way <3.

My parents have been divorced ever since I was 4 years old. I look at most families who's parents are still together and I get a little jealous. Having divorced parents isn't so bad though. I have been fortunate enough to have many opportunities come my way that I know would not have happened if my parents were still together. Holidays are definitely harder when you can't have your entire family in the same room, but I am able to have 2 of every holiday. I have loved the people who have come into my life through my parents remarrying and I know that no matter where my parents are they are still there for me and support me with anything I put my mind to.

I have lived in many different places and funny enough I have never been at the same school for more that 3 years. You might think of this as a bad thing but I see it completely differently. So many people have come into my life. Each person with their own stories and experiences. I have learned so many things about people. For instance how moving can show true friendship how the people who really matter the most don't have to live next door. Each house I have lived in has so many memories. When I lived in California I remember this house we had with a pool. I was like 7 and every time my sister and I jumped in the pool our dog Tommy had to follow and it was terrifying when this huge dog came splashing toward us with his humongous claws.
Another thing I have loved by moving to different places is the weather and atmospheres. California was always so warm and the air was moist, but Utah on the other hand has such dry air and the weather changes are crazy. I would love to go to Seattle with the rain and see how I like it there.
I am so excited for the future to come because I want to see so many other places.

I am a hard core country music lover. The first concert I went to was Toby Keith and we had seats in the nose-bleed section, but somehow we ended up with front row seats. I have gone to many other country concerts like Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Hunter Hayes, Tim McGraw, and Blake Shelton. My favorite singer (at the moment) is definitely Brett Eldredge. Every song he has makes you want to dance. I love it.
My favorite thing about country music is that every song tells a story, and drags you in and plays with your emotions.

I am a woman. I like to get all dressed up in a pretty dress and some cute shoes. I love doing my hair, and I not very good at make-up. I love to go dancing, but most of all I love who I am. Being a female does not mean that I always have to be proper, because I like to get down and dirty especially when it comes to animals. My insecurities make me who I am and overcoming what comes with those makes me stronger.
