14. I never weighed more than 125 pounds

until after I'd been married for 6 years.

I started playing football when I was 12 and played through high school. I still love to watch football (obviously given my avatar) and I love to play golf but I totally suck at golf. When I was in Jr High and in the Irving Boys Football Association (little league for football) I got to play a lot but when I got to high school everyone got their growth spurts and I seemed to have misplaced mine. I made the team but I didn't get to play. I was fast and didn't get winded but just too small to keep out there very long.


But I never thought of myself as a jock. I was also in Jr High choir for two years and took art classes whenever they were available. I made the honor society a few times if that's worth much - it was played up at the time but i think they just wanted to sell pins.
