Where would you like to go visit in 2014?
My wedding and honeymoon will be in 2014, and I've always wanted to visit Thailand. We are starting the honeymoon planning process now, and there are so many great places to visit!
Which book changed your life and why?
I can't think of a book that really changed my life, but I am currently enjoying books by or about Ernest Hemingway. I've read The Garden of Eden, A Moveable Feast, A Farewell to Arms, and The Paris Wife, about his first wife, Hadley. It's really interesting to read about Paris during that time as well.
You're originally from Houston, Texas. What is the best thing about Houston?
The best thing about Houston, Texas for me is my family and friends. I love getting to come home and see them from time to time. Southern hospitality is great, and so is the food and drink!
What's your most memorable party from 2013 and why?
My most memorable party from 2013 would probably be either one of my engagement parties! I got engaged to my (now) fiancé in November, and we had the opportunity to celebrate both here in NYC with friends, and also in Texas.
