If I could change anything about myself
I would like to be a few inches taller. If "leg extensions" were invented, I would definitely buy them!
One of my favorite things to do
I love riding my 4-wheeler! Whether I'm flying over fields or maneuvering tracks, I'm as comfortable in my riding gear as I am in pageant wear! And guess what…I can keep up with the guys!
