What do you think it means to be healthy?

Choosing foods that nourish me, getting enough sleep, and doing my stretches is a good start.

Is being obsessive about someone or something a good thing?

Probably not. I’ve been obsessive about a thing or two in my life and sure, you can get incredible things done with that sort of laser focus, but you can also drop several other balls in the process. There are more balanced ways to approach things.

After a disagreement with your S.O., do you initiate the makeup conversation or wait for your S.O. to do it?

Hmm. Is neither an option? Both of us tend to be let’s sort it out people so I’d say we’re 50/50 on initiating a conversation.

Have you ever done something incredibly embarrassing in front of a huge crowd? Feel free to share details or not. Some things are best left in the closet.

The night BrightSide and I got engaged we went to a New Year’s Eve party at a local hotel. Pretty unlike us really, seeing as neither one of us are big WHOOP IT UP people, but there we were. We ended up on stage while the band announced our big news. Then they started playing what must have been a very popular song seeing as all the partygoers were singing along…except us. Not a clue what the song was. That was an uncomfortable few minutes.

What’s your sweetest memory from childhood?

Making Christmas cookies with my mom.
