I bet it's UB40. Or Howard Jones. The Thompson Twins? The sad thing is we probably still have that tape in a box in our garage.

LOVE this photo. I could just eat you both up with a spoon! And, just to register my vote on childhood sweethearts who "made it" such as you and Bry, I think it's amazingly special and I am ever so glad you two stuck! Now, your Dad and I could tell a story or a dozen about the ups and downs, on-off-on again break-ups, etc. over all these years. And, believe me, there were times when you were so down, eyes red and swollen from your 15th straight day of tears, us wanting to find Bry and beat him up because our Sus was hurting during another breakup. There were times when I wanted to wring your neck for allowing anyone to so drastically affect your entire well-being. I can also attest to the fact that, from as long ago as I can remember with you and Bry, you were always sure that he was the only love of your life. You never wanted anyone else. And now here you both are and here is Miss Zoey and we love Bry as you always did.<br /><br />And, PF Readers, I just want to say that for years, I or some family member appointed to the position, had to check Sus's attire out before she left the house. This started during what we called her "little crazy girl apparel" period wherein she freely and so wrongly mixed plaids, prints, stripes with abandon...and, it just did not work. The photo in today's blog was long after this period so I can only think that we, her family, must have also thought the sweatshirt and tucked-in pointy collar tips were just fine. As to the hair-do, believe me, she had worse! Love you so much no matter the hairstyle, no matter the outfit (and amazingly, you are now such a fashion pro!)

Sweetest story ever! You know, stories like yo...Oh! Sweetest story <i>ever!</i> You know, stories like yours are the kind I hold close to my heart. I live in an environment where highschool sweethearts measure high in divorce rates, and my family and some friends feel all to willing to share that information with me. <br /><br />My boyfriend and I have been together for nine years; we began dating at 17. We aren't married, not engaged, we don't have children, and it took <i>years</i> for us to even live together. But our relationship is based on a strong friendship, a deep respect and lots of love for each other! Growing up while growing together is a very special and rare thing to be able to experience with your love, and how well your words highlighted this!<br /><br />Your story drives home how I've felt about sharing this time with Ryan. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm even more inclined to stand up and be all like "hells YEAH we've been together for nine years, HELLS YEAH we are highschool sweethearts. <i>Jealous?</i>" <br /><br /><i>For the record, my 75 year old Nana calls me a "modern woman".</i><br /><br />Okay.. I'm rambling. Anyway - love, love this story!<br /><br />Thanks!Patti-attihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08808682990863014249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-11607638909157779632009-06-18T19:45:24.347-07:002009-06-18T19:45:24.347-07:00I am such a sucker for childhood sweetheart storie...I am such a sucker for childhood sweetheart stories.
