My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.

I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy.

I like to go to bed early.

My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.

I hope to continue writing. I hope to continue teaching.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
