your favorite childhood pet & it's name: Bailey, a golden retriever we had for 13yrs
most embarrassing moment: Perhaps not the most embarrassing, but a certain trip to the apple orchard will forever haunt me. Just ask my mom. Actually, don't ask. She will probably just tell you.
most influential person in your life (besides Jesus): John Sherman Gilliom and my friends who also were affected by this man's love for Christ.
