1. If you had a super power what would it be? To be able to freeze time!! Or at least slow it down a lot…  

2. Who would you want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island? My fiance Denver Merrifield-Nirva =)

3. What DVD could you watch over and over? The Departed. Or 300 lol.

4. If you won $1,000,000, what’s the first thing you’d buy? If I won 1,000,000 dollars, I would donate half of it to charity. The other half I would use to travel the world and take a really long vacation.  

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Thailand!!! I have visited Bangkok and Phuket a few times and am completely in love. I would move there in a heart beat if my fiance wanted to. I would also love to live in Barcelona, Spain.

6. What’s the last thing you ate? Last night was a “cheat day,” so we had Asian Zing wings and citrus glaze wings. For breakfast now I am having quinoa salad and roast beef with green tea. Kind of an odd breakfast.

7. At which store would you like to max-out a credit card? I really, really love shoes! And clothes. If I could max out a credit card with no repercussions, it would be at Bloomingdales =).

8. Who’s your fave sports team? I have to stand by my man on this one and say the Denver Broncos!

9. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Neon Pink.

10. What’s your fave song/artist right now? I have been listening to Miguel a lot. But Wu Tang and the Roots are my favorites. I also grew up playing classical piano, and Chopin is my favorite composer as far as classical music.

11. What restaurant would you choose for date night? Here in Salt Lake it would be this tapas bar called Finca. They have amazing food and cocktails! 

12. What’s the farthest you’ve been from home? Thailand, and Russia. I lived in Moscow a year for Study Abroad when I was in college. I have also spent time living in Phuket while I trained and fought over there. 

13. If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you choose? That is a really good question. I have so many people I would love to meet, or have met. Off the top of my head I would say the artist Paul Gauguin, because he is my favorite painter. Will Ferrell too because he is just awesome. I couldn’t list all of the great fighters I’d like to meet, but one in particular would be Lucia Rijker.
