10 Random Things About Adorable Wife

1. 
   
   I have a name, it's Tressa. When I was really young I hated having such a unique name because people always pronounced it wrong and I could never find it on those cheesy gift shop items. Once I hit highschool, and now, I love it. If someone yells "Tressa" I know they are talking to me!
2. 
   
   I can eat bacon bits all by themselves. I use to just snack on a tablespoon full. Now I class it up by adding some cheez-its to it!
3. 
   
   I love to plan parties! The decorating, the preparing, the baking, the shopping!
4. 
   
   If I could try to do one crazy dream it would be dance. I have always loved it, I may suck but it would be awesome. That is probably why I love So You Think You Can Dance so much and tear up while watching it.
5. 
   
   I have three sisters younger than me, the middle ones are twins (they did have a secret language), and they are all red heads. I convinced my entire second grade class I was adopted from China since my hair was a different color then theirs.
6. 
   
   I wish I had more time, and less grabby hands, to scrap book.
7. 
   
   I am incredibly shy in person at first. It usually takes me a while to get comfortable around people.
8. 
   
   My little sister and I once learned "The Routine" from Friends (the one Ross and Monica do.)
9. 
   
    I played three sports in highschool Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball. After my freshman year, due to my shoulder injury, I could only play two a year so each year I rotated what two I played. I ended up with 3 yrs of each. Of those 9 yrs, I went to State 7 times and placed 4 of them (2nd, 4th, 6th, & 8th and yes I actually played!)

    Though my boys love to stress me out, nothing cheers me up like their big cheesy grins!

10 Random Things About Track Coach

1. 
   
   I am the youngest of 7 children (6 boys, 1 girl). It makes for some really big family gatherings.
2. 
   
   My left arm is 1 1/2 inches shorter than my right arm. No, really, I broke my left arm when I was a kid (actually, my brother broke my arm by flying ninja kicking me on the trampoline and knocking me into the support bar). My standing reach: right 7'7", left 7'5 1/2".
3. 
   
   I really like real time strategy computer games (Starcraft, Red Alert, Age of Civilizations, etc.). I even have LAN parties with some friends from time to time (bring on the Nerd jokes).
4. 
   
   One of my favorite events of the year is the annual "Turkey Bowl." I really miss playing football and I'm a bit of a showboater.
5. 
   
   In college, for a time, my nickname was "Showtime..." Enough said.
6. 
   
   I played three sports in high school (Football, Basketball, Track) although I was not very good at basketball (I won "Mr. Hustle" for basketball all four years- It's the award they give to the kid that tries really hard, but just isn't that great).
7. 
   
   I am Scottish and I really like doing the Highland games. You know, the one with the Caber Toss, where they take a big pole and flip it over... There are lots of other games too, it is super fun and let's me get my competitive juices flowing.
8. 
   
   I like the History Channel
9. 
   
   I'm possibly a little too happy with myself every time I do a construction project around the house. I built some shelves in the garage and you'd have thought I just conquered the America's for Spain...
10. 
    
    I think I have an Adorable Wife and the cutest kids in the world!

We tag everyone that wants to do this, if you haven't you should, it's fun and surprisingly of hard!
