Remember this post!Well, Nolan's Secret Admirer struck again!
He was really non-chalaunt about it this time. He came home and just simply stated, "I got another love note today" like he was saying something as blase as "I went to lunch today!" I guess it is just another day in the life of Nolan Jeppson! Haha!
Man, this girl has it bad!
It reminds me of my first grade crush. His name was Chris. I even remember his last name, but I do not want to post it here because it would still embarrass me if he googled himself and found his name on my blog. Especially since he moved in 2nd grade and probably does not even remember me. Anyway, I decided that "he was the one" because we were going around the room during one of the first days of school and saying our birth dates. And get this:
His birthday was the same as mine!
So, there you go! To a first grader that would mean we were meant to be! Plus, he had an earring and wore a black leather jacket (this was the 80s people)... I always had a thing for the bad boys!
I even remember walking up to him and informing him, "Now remember, you are my boyfriend!" Poor kid! We never held hands or kissed or anything. Heck, it wasn't ever even mutual... I suppose I was a 'Rasputia' in that way! If you do not get the reference, check out seconds 20-35 of the following clip (and I don't want to hear it Chad... I still find this movie hilarious and totally worth it the watch):
But I was never a note writer! I would never have wanted a permanent record of my crushes! That did not happen till I was a teenager and started journaling. Now I have a permanent reminder of how silly and flighty I was as a teenager. I will have to re-read some of those passages when my kids get that age so I can attempt to understand them and to humble myself and realize I was just as crazy once upon a time!
So... fess up... who was your first crush or boyfriend? Did you ever send love notes?
It must be the eyes! What girl could resist?

In third grade I had a crush on a boy in the ward (a fourth grader!) and once his parents and ours got a babysitter for both families at our house and she helped me tackle him to I could give him a kiss (I think I got his arm) while we were watching The Last Unicorn. I know, sounds totally out of character for me, doesn't it?!
steven ulmer when i was like 3... and evereyone knew it. I don't know that I ever wrote him a love letter, but i kissed his arm once during a practice for our primary presentation. I also was very excited when we did a tap dance together and I got to sit on his lap. And then in 4th grade I had a boy that wrote me a love note and I made fun of him because I didn't have a crush on him... poor kid
Well, I was a little more brazen than this when I was little...
I would just chase the boys I liked around the playground and yell at them. :) Nice, huh? What's weird is, as I aged, I went in total reverse....I would barely speak to the guys I liked. Go figure? lol
