Last book you read: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It’s a story about following your instinct, which is a philosophy I live by. Favorite day trip: My favorite day trip is Springfield to Branson. I went to Drury University in Springfield, and my friends and I would go camping in Busiek (right outside of Branson). The drive during the fall is one of the most beautiful scenes of the Ozarks I’ve ever seen. What is your most embarrassing dating moment?

SAFETY TIP:
• In the past, many people felt is was better to remain silent when someone unknown comes to the door. However, due to the rash of burglaries that happen when occupants are at work/on vacation, it has become safer to acknowledge a door knock through a closed and locked door. It is perfectly acceptable to refuse to open the door!
