Surprising Fact

October 15, 2014 By Caroline TeSelle

Truth : What fact about you surprises people the most?

 

greg says_1

I suppose you’d have to ask “the people”. This sounds like a “truth” for those that know us and are reading these “truths”. So feel free to comment… “I dare you”.  What fact about us surprises you the most?

If I had to guess what fact surprises people most about me … here’s my top 5…

1) I can still walk (somewhat normal) after 17 knee surgeries?
2) My children are cute… and I AM the biological father?
3) I was in Playboy Magazine – February 1992. (Feature article)
4) I partied with Dennis Rodman on New Years Eve 1999?
5) I have traveled over 250,000 miles with over 750 people in 15 passenger vans?

Surprised?

I worked at the White House.

Actually, it was my very first job. I had a friend in high school & her dad worked for the Secret Service. Stephenie & I both started working for the White House Historical Association on Saturdays during the school year & almost every day during the summer. It was my freshman & sophomore year of high school, so 1986-1988. Ronald Reagan was the President.

The White House Historical Association would sell souvenirs & books & Christmas ornaments to visitors after they had just toured the White House.

Back then, the gift shop was inside the White House & sometimes when the weather was really nice we would be outside. Pretty much the coolest job I ever had.

That's me - somewhere in the White House.

Sadly, I never met President Reagan but it was an honor to work in his house.

    Okay. I might have a few facts people might not know about me.

    2. I had to do a foam landing on a private jet landing in Guadalhara Mexico.
    3. I new my husbands half brother in college, 8 years before meeting my husband. Meet eric in LA 1999, meet his half brother in Iowa in 1992 while living in Nebraska. Never found out the connection until 2002.

The tradition started years ago when Eden was two The tradition started years ago when Eden was two years old and had hip surgery, our friend @leannemc417 brought Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen to ease the pain & cheer us up. ⁣
⁣
And so, as the years went on, whenever we’ve had a surgery or a broken bone (or bones! 🤕) she’d drop off Dilly Bars. ⁣
⁣
We hate to call it a tradition but we’ve had quite a few broken bones and surgeries in our family through the years. ⁣
⁣
Today, we’re passing on the tradition to my dad who broke a bone for the first time in his 84 years of life! Praying his wrist will heal quickly and having a Dilly Bar definitely helps! ⁣
⁣
Thank you, Leanne for starting this tradition for us! 😘
The laughter, the questions, the listening, the li The laughter, the questions, the listening, the light, the fog, the sun, the rain, the history, the art, the lobster rolls, the salted caramel gelato…so much from this trip will continue to bring life long after. 

Thankful to travel with these friends—we don’t deserve you! Until next year @thenester @chadsmithis @emilypfreeman @freemanjohn

After three years of sticking close to home so he could help our family travel through some significant health issues (during a pandemic nonetheless!), Gunnar is off on his next life adventure. He’ll call Asheville, North Carolina home now. ⁣
⁣
We couldn’t be happier for him and sadder for us. ⁣
⁣
We can’t wait to see what’s next for you @gunnarteselle. We love you and we will see you soon!
