Never in a million years would I have thought I would be packing diapers in my bat bag for road trips. I like non fat mochas. I love any clothing company who makes extra long jeans. Chapstick is essential to surviving in Arizona. I love my Bolle sunglasses. My favorite baseball team is the Minnesota Twins because my husband is now playing for them. My favorite color besides pink is red, white, and blue. I love shopping for clothes but live in sweats 98% of the time. I love glitter headbands and bows. My first firing was from Donald Trump. My favorite pasttime is spending time with my family. I especially enjoy my time with my special nieces and nephews. There is nothing better than a pedicure. I am humbled and honored to have the teammates I do. They are the sisters I never had. Bustos is my second favorite roommate; Ace is my No. 1. Sorry Boo! I am a So Cal girl with a Southern flair due to my husband and his family. I love Cajun food, seafood and most importantly important dessert.

My life really began. I got married in January 15, 2005 to Casey Daigle. It was a wonderful day being surrounded by our family and friends. We honeymooned in Bora Bora which quickly turned into my favorite vacation destination. It’s an amazing and gorgeous place. I had my little guy, Ace Shane Daigle, in May of 2006. He has rocked my world in more ways than words can explain. I am now a working mom and enjoy sharing every minute of my adventures with our little guy. I was fortunate enough to not have to miss a season playing. I have continued to conduct clinics and camps with fellow USA teammates and really enjoy teaching young athletes to be the best they can be. The best thing about having a gold medal is sharing it with young girls and letting them wear it all over the world. My goal is to be a positive light and hopefully impact the youth positively of today in some little way! I have continued to work with Mizuno as a spokesperson and have a new PINK product line that I launched. Recently I was honored to be on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice and it was an outstanding experience; to meet and interact with such outstanding celebrities and to live in NYC for three weeks was quite a treat. We reside in Tucson, AZ, and I have spent summers in Chicago playing in the NPF for the Chicago Bandits. I have been so blessed since Athens and continue to work hard and dream to hear the National Anthem on the podium in Beijing! Go USA!
