Flashback Friday: Get to Know the New Girl

Back in 2013, I was new to the Morning Show and as a way to introduce myself, I shared a few fun facts.

The post below was originally written on May 17, 2013. Let's see how much of this still rings true. The updates will be in bold.

Here are a few things you missed about me this week.  Pay attention. So bossy. 

Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess- I wore out my VHS copy of ‘The Little Mermaid’ as a kid.  I own the anniversary DVD as well. Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? Still love it! 

I like peanut M&Ms- Don’t get me wrong, I like pretty much all of the various flavors of M&M (except coconut).  I eat the peanut ones more like sunflower seeds cracking the candy shell in half to get to the peanut.  I’m weird.  Don’t judge me. All still true. 

I have one younger brother- His name is Taylor.  We are pretty close now but fought like cats and dogs growing up.  What up, bro?! Yup. Still have a brother. Haha

People think he looks like Andy.  I don't see it.

I like Harry Potter- The books are better.  The movies are good for an afternoon on the couch.  Especially when ABC Family has a marathon.  I would like to point out that while I like Harry Potter, I’m not one of those crazy fans that can quote the books or anything.  I’m a normal-level kind of fan.  I do appreciate the crazy fans though.  Keep on keepin’ on. I'm still a Potter fan! Hufflepuff for life! ABC Family is now Freeform. But, HP is now usually on SyFy or USA.

I love Mexican food-  I truly mean love.  One of the saddest parts of leaving Sioux City was leaving my favorite local Mexican restaurant.  Anytime I go back home it’s a must-have. That favorite restaurant has since closed, but I still love Mexican food!
