Q: Where did you attend your high school years?
A: I moved around a lot in high school. I attended First Baptist School in Rosemount, Minn., Northfield High School in Northfield, Minn., and finally Mountain Park Academy in Patterson, Missouri.
Q: How did you and your husband meet? What was his joke that made you laugh? How does he still make you laugh today?
Dodge ball was the craze when I started my freshman year at Bethel College in Mishawaka, Ind. I met my husband at an intramural dodge ball game. I don't remember the specific joke, but from the moment he started talking, we just clicked. We are both really funky and spontaneous, and he surprises me every day by saying something silly to our kids. One of my favorite phrases that he says: "It isn't the last Pepsi in the desert." Meaning: nothing that special about it.
Q: He's unique because he's from Venezuela, is there anything else unique about you two that comes from that? Have you ever gone their because that is where he is from?
A: Our relationship is unique because we come from two different worlds. He spoke Spanish in his and I speak English in mine. Although he is fluent in English, sometimes there can be a barrier due to the difference in language/culture that we are used to. I visited Venezuela in 2007. It was really neat to see where he is from, meet his family and friends, and experience the culture thru the food and geography.
Q:How long have you been together? You have kids, what are they like, how old, and what are their names?
A: We've been married for almost six years. Our son Ronan is 5-years-old. He is a busy, social little boy who enjoys t-ball and anything athletic. Our daughter Keira is 9-months-old, and adores her big brother. She crawls after him and copies his every move-even playing with GI Joes.
Q: What are things you and your husband like to do together? Is there anything unique you two do together?
A: We relish any alone time without the kids, because it is rare! We enjoy eating out at places like Fogo de Chao (a Brazilian steakhouse) the Melting Pot, and we are running a 5K together in June. We love to travel. After nearly six years of marriage, we took our honeymoon in December and went on a Mediterranean Cruise to Italy, Tunisia, Spain, France, and Monaco. It was surreal!
Q: How old are you two, what is his name? Last name?
A: I am 25 years-old and he is 27. His name is Javier Guevara.
Q: Is there anything else that you would like to share with me about you or your husband, and or family?
A: My husband is my best friend. To me, he is the last Pepsi in the desert. I know that sounds corny, but we've been thru so much together. We lost a baby in 2008 and he never left my side, and he was my rock. To me, marriage is about the lifelong friendship. My advice to other people is find someone who makes you laugh. Laughter will last, and will pull you thru everything.

Mountain Park Academy in Patterson. Wasn't it the school where the conditions were so horrible that some students killed another so they could end up in prison for life which they considered to be better than the school?
