I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are when people are close minded towards certain subjects or aspects of life that I am passionate about. I do not like close minded people nor do I like to associate myself with them. I like to be accepting towards new ideas, lifestyles, and interests. However, I will place judgement on those who are unwilling to open up to different or opposing views.

Something I learned from the last person I dated is to be a stronger person. We had been together for two years and went through a lot of ups and downs. But the one thing I will take away from that relationship is strength. He is one of very few people I know that have truly had a difficult life and has experienced many hardships. Inevitably he has come out on top. He is an intelligent and hard working individual. I have a lot of respect for him and always remember the situations he has had to face and I am instantly reminded of how blessed I am.

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm at church with my mom or checking cows with my dad. My parents own a ranch in Thayer, Mo and they each devote a lot of time towards it. However, my mom would never be caught missing a Sunday morning church service. Likewise, my father would never miss a morning feed. So therefore I am forced to choose which what my Sunday morning will consist of. Usually if I decide to go with my dad I am given a guilt trip by my mom and am unintentionally forced to go to church with her. Although, if I am here in Conway on a Sunday morning I am definately asleep.

When I die, I believe I will go to heaven or hell. I've been raised to believe in an optional eternity depending on how I live my life while I am on earth. Obviously I would prefer to go to heaven but like I said it depends on how I choose to live my life and I have a long life ahead of me.

Something people keep buying me for gifts and I never use is gloves. Every year for Christmas someone in my family always manages to get me a pair of gloves. Which I never wear gloves, so I have a million pair that probably still have their tags on them.

One sport I will never get is soccer. My brother used to play soccer when he was younger and always tried explaining it to me but I never understood what the rules and terms of the game are. But soccer is one of the few sports I don't take interest in so I don't really take the time to learn or even play the game. I guess that's why I don't understand the point of it.

When I was a kid, I actually owned the meanest horse you will ever meet! I was around ten when I got a Paint horse for my birthday. I begged my parents for a long time for a horse because I wanted to learn to ride. Well my parents decided to buy me a colt so that I could raise it and it would be used to me. I never got around to raising it because it was the meanest horse I had ever been around. It would bite and kick anyone and everyone who tried to come around. So shortly after a year, we sold him and I haven't had a horse since.
