Love Notes and Elementary Crushes

And so it begins.......

Brett, my dear husband, was cleaning his car out on our saturday and came briskly walking up to me with a wide eyed smile on his face, "Brooke! You gotta see this! I just found some real gems in the back of my car!"

"What are you talking about???" He shoved something in my hand.

"Hide these! Don't let Amber see you!" It was a couple of torn out papers from a little note pad that Amber had recently gotten! .......So my little Amber has a crush! Mathew is in her class, and her ward, and she walks home with him everyday after school. She has told me how he has given her pencils and his gel pens and so on. The other day I went to pick her up from school. As I pulled up she was walking slowly behind Mathew with her head down and she was writing on a little piece of paper. She finished and went to run up to Mathew, but she saw that I was there and ready to take her so she held her index finger up to signal for me to wait just a minute so I did and she ran up to Mathew and gave the piece of paper to him. I played it cool! Didn't mention it at first.... Asked her how her day was.... How her tests went, theeeen I asked her very nonchalauntly, "so, what did you give to Mathew?"

"Oh, it was just a book mark. I already have one I didn't need it." Uh-huh..... riiight, but she continued "Mathew told me that Randi (amber's friend) wrote a heart with her's and mathew's name in it and mathew erased his name out of it."

"Oh ... So Randi has a crush on Mathew huh?"

"Uh-huh, so does my other friend."

"Ohh so mathew's pretty poular huh?"

"Yeah" she said with a big smile.

" Well who does Mathew like?"

She got a big smile on her face and just shrugged her shoulders. I just laughed inside. It was so cute. So, on sunday Brett casually mentions to Mathews dad that he doesn't know what Amber will do without Mathew. We Mathew's dad continues to tell Brett how Mathew had shown him a bookmark that Amber had given him that had a heart on the back with Mathew's her name in it. AHHHH He he he I can't believe it!!!!! :)

I still remember my first crush in First Grade or somewhere around there. Joshua Sunloft. Oh didn't that name just make my little, new, innocent heart jump! :) He was in my class and my ward and lived just down the street and around the corner from me. I would always look at his house fondly when I was outside playing. Mmmm Joshua Sunloft even the name made me happy. With his blonde hair that was always combed so cute! Isn't it funny how Joshua Sunloft has left an imprint in my life? Though it was so long ago and for such a short time and he probably never even liked me and never knew that I liked him, yet I still remember his name and how happy it made me to think of him. Funny:).
