What you can't live without: My toy poodle, Bella. I received Bella from Santa on Christmas morning.  It was such a special surprise!  I found her with a big red bow around her neck while tucked inside a hot pink Juicy stocking.  She licked me as I took her out of the stocking and I have been in love with her ever since.  She hops in the grass like a rabbit and her ears flop as she runs.  When I see her she always make me laugh and giggle because of her bundle of energy and joy.  I am so lucky to have her in my life.

Secret wish: I would absolutely love to perform with the Jonas Brothers.  I was lucky enough to attend their dress rehearsal at Cowboy Stadium.  Their talent and energy is unbeatable.  I was close enough to have Kevin's sweat drip on me!  It was incredible.  After screaming and jumping for the entire concert my best friend and I autographed their tour bus.  To be on stage with Kevin, Joe and Nick would be a dream come true.
