Hometown: Agoura Hills, CA
Birthday: July 18, 1980
College: University of Tennessee, then transferred to Long Beach State (both undergrad)
Parents: Annette & Stan Block, Michael Goldberg
Siblings: Danielle, Mitch, Norm, Dave, Jeff, Jordan
Hobbies: Reading, cooking, playing with the dogs, making Sara laugh, alone time in the loo
My greatest accomplishent is: Probably not killing myself. But starting, owning and running my own business for 16 years is a pretty close second.
My funniest memory is: Almost throwing up on a little girl on the plane back from judging in New Orleans.
My first job was: Spinning cotton candy and cleaning out horse corrals at Calamigos Ranch.
I am afraid of: Heights.
My friend's tell me I'm (3 words): Confident. Argumentative. Inspirational.
One thing I'll never forget is: Where I left my wallet. Just kidding. I don't even know where it is right now. It's actually something my mom said - to live life with "an attitude of gratitude."
When I'm alone in my car I: Either handle business or drive in silence and manifest the world I want to create for myself.
If my house went up in flames, the one thing I would save is: The picture of my mom holding me as a newborn.
The best advice I ever got was: "So what?! Now what?" from Stan.
What Sara does that aggrevates me most is: She has a tendency to get disappointed when certain things aren't perfect the first time. And sometimes, she can be too hard on herself. I wish she could see herself through my eyes.
What I love most about Sara is: How deeply she loves. When I am with her I can see it in her eyes, hear it in her voice, feel it in her embrace. She makes me feel at home.
