I love watching ALL kinds of movies. I like to go to sleep watching Disney movies...they give me good dreams :) My favorite TV shows are Everybody Loves Raymond, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and a new show called The Game. My top 5 would be Jason, mom, dad, Tash and Selena. My dream job would be a sports broadcaster, but ironically I get nervous talking in front of people...go figure. My perfect day would be to sleep in, play softball and come home and watch movies. If I had a super power it would be instant traveling. I hate to drive and travel and just want to get there as soon as possible. My wedding anniversary is August 23, 2003 so the Olympic Gold Medal game in 2004 was our first anniversary. My husband is Jason Flowers and I have a step daughter Jasmine. I would like to own a dog but am gone too much. My dad did give us a robot dog for Christmas so that will work for now. If I could be any teammate I would be Laura Berg so that I could be the lefty slapper and I could see what its like to play pranks all the time and get away with it. Im an only child of Leroy and Jackie Mims. I am half black and half white. I was born January 9, 1981. I really dont like talking on the phone.
Since 2004
I bought a condo with my husband. I worked at the University of California-Riverside and now am at Long Beach State University as an assistant coach. I have been playing for the PFX tour with several of my USA Softball teammates. My family expanded with a new cousin and I also became a godmother. I have been giving lessons and enjoying my time at home which is rare. I graduated with a degree in History with an African-American Studies minor.
