| Favorite Things to Do in Des Moines |
I love music, so I go to A LOT of concerts and live shows. I also love fashion and art, so I enjoy attending fashion and art shows, as well as shopping at local vintage stores and fashion boutiques. In my downtime, I like to hang out with my dog Weezer at Gray's Lake or BBQ with my family. |
| Something People Don't Know About Me: | When I was a child, I was addicted to gymnastics. I used to practice so much that I had a balance beam in my bedroom and bars, tumbling mats and a trampoline in my backyard. True story. |
