More about me!

I asked Jesus into my heart for the first time when I was 13. It was at a Carmen concert. Even though I backslide after that it is one of the most important times in my life. I remember it like it was yesterday.


My favorite dog is a beagle.

I am a tightwad. I really don't enjoy spending money.

I really don't enjoy shopping. unless it is clearance. I will spend time in a clearance aisle,though! grocery shopping is probably the most fun for me.

Country music is my favorite, but not the recent country. I like the old country up to the early ninties.

I love to make lists. I joke that I make lists of my lists.

I still have a pair of purple argyle socks I got in the sixth grade for Christmas. I still wear them, too.

I don't like wearing jewerly or make-up very much.

I am a klutz. I broke my foot falling off a sidewalk. I didn't even fall down, I just snapped the bone in my foot. I also break a lot of things. That's why God gave me my own personal McGyver as my husband:)

My favorite job was a chiropractic assistant.

The best job I will ever have is being a Mom. I love every part of being a Mom.

I had a crush on Patrick Swayze as a kid, "Dirty Dancing " was my favorite movie.
My other crush was Stephen Scheffler, he was #55 on Purdue's basketball team, back in the day.

I played the trumpet in school.

My best friend growing up was German Baptist. Going to her church was an experience I will never forget.

I am terrified of bees, flies, bugs, anything that flies around my head. As a kid I got hornets or wasps(I don't know which) caught in my hair and they stung me repeatedly in the back of my head. My Dad had to squish them with his hands to kill them.

O.K. Let me get this straight . . . you are terrified of bees and you raise them? That doesn't quite make sense Tracy!!! You are making me feel really, really old, you know. I was already married with kids when Dirty Dancing came out.
I have decided that Marty must be a klutz too. He keeps breaking body parts! Love you Tracy!

Andy,
The whole bee thing is Randy's doin!
Actually I can blame it on his Dad.
I hide in the house when he extracts the honey.

Andy said...

Maybe we need to get YOU a bee suit too! That would solve the stinging problem. That honey is SOOOOOOOOO good though. Love you!

I was going to comment about the bee thing, but it looks like Andy took care of that!

Your own personal McGyver...ha ha...I'll have to tell Jason about that. McGyver is one of my favorite shows! I can't believe you can still wear your sixth grade socks. Good luck with the bees.

Who didn't have a crush on Patrick Swayzee?

No crush on Patrick Swayzee here...always thought he looked a little gay plus he's short. But the hate shopping thing...now that speaks my language...I hate shopping unless it's for sale items or things for Carolyn...like clothes. Nice to learn a little more about you.
