7 Things you may not know about us.......

1. When I was little I wanted to be Miss America. I know what your thinking, doesn't every little girl have that dream? But I took it very seriously. I practiced my talent (which was going to be singing) and even practiced answering questions by pretend judges. I actually did Junior Miss in High School. I sang "I will Survive", but I froze and skipped half my song. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
2. Me and a couple of friends choreographed a 70's dance to Saturday Night Fever. We put on bell bottoms and platform shoes and performed it for our ninth grade talent show. Why you may ask? I think because we were bored in my basement one day and the rest is history.
3. I love old movies. Some of my favorites are My Fair Lady, Singing in the Rain, and The Sound of Music.
4. When I was in High School I taped a cup with a straw in it to the top of my car. Me and my friends drove around town to see what people would do. It was hilarious.
5. I love sweets, especially chocolate and icecream. When Marc and I were first dating we decided to go get a couple of pints of Ben and Jerrys icecream. We brought it to his house and sat up to the bar to eat it. Marc got some spoons out and then went to go get something else in a cupboard. I broke out my icecream and started eating it right out of the carton. Marc came back with these teeny tiny little icecream bowls. I about died. I later had to explain to him that Ben and Jerrys is eaten right out of the carton...right?
6. I love 80's Monster Ballads. You know all those rock bands that had the big hair back in the 80's?
7. I was offered a full ride scholarship to play basketball in Wyoming. I turned it down for no particular reason, I just didn't feel good about it. I met Marc a few weeks later. That was the best choice I ever made. Love you babe!!!

I always write stuff about me on this blog, but I thought you might want to hear a few things about Marc as well.. So here it is....

7 Things you might not know about Marc (by his wife).......

1. Marc's hair and fingernails grow freakishly fast. It is crazy. He needs a haircut at least every two weeks and he is always cutting his fingernails and toenails.
2. When Marc was in High School he and his friends were the biggest pranksters. They were called the Wolf Pack. I can't tell you exactelly what they did, (i am sworn to secrecy), but some pranks involved pumpkins (no not smashing them, they were much more creative), Christmas trees, and road cones.
3. Marc gets the hic-cups when he laughs really hard. It is so funny, if he really gets going he almost throws up. I love to see if I can get him to laugh really hard, because it makes me laugh really hard too.
4. Marc is a good samaritan. He is always helping people. Whether its changing tires, or helping people find jobs. He is not happy unless he is serving others.
5. Marc served his mission in South Carolina. Once on a preparation day he and his companion rode thier bikes 40 miles to the capitol and 40 miles back. He said it took about 2 hours each way and they were riding about 30 to 35 miles per hour.
6. When Marc was about 12 his parents went out of town and his Aunt and Uncle came and stayed with him and his siblings. They broke out the video camera and made a little home video entiled "Home Alone." I have never seen it, but I hear it is pretty impressive.
7. You all probably know this but I am going to put it anyway. Marc is the best Husband and Father. I love watching him play with the kids. It always involves some sort of fort and a few circus acts. He is so thoughtful and kind and takes such good care of us. We love you Hun!!!

Now I want to hear about some of the other husbands, so we are tagging Ben, Aaron, and Scott and any one else that wants to write about thier hubbies.

I am SO with you on the ice cream---that's a funny story! And it kills me that Marc was a little prankster. I can't believe you haven't seen his Home Alone video yet, you'll have to make a special request!! So I'm pretty sure we're doing lunch this Tuesday the 18th. Any ideas for a place? I thought Craigo's buffet would be fun???

P.S. Why does boys hair grow SO fast?? Not fair!

You have a cup taped to the top of your car! What? That was so funny. I had totally forgot about that. Funny times. Marc sounds like a pretty funny guy. Perfect for you! Do you remember the aerobics routine we put together? We were so creative! Just kidding.

I didn't know your life long dream was to be Miss America. Thanks for all the laughs. Sometimes I think of some of the stuff we did and I about roll over laughing. The good ol days! Never a dull moment!

Nicole Stucki said...

Ok so I thought of a new idea. Instead of a cup how about a diaper bag! Haha

Todd and Hana Freeman said...
