Me & Christian, originally uploaded by missliz.

This was a very special night for me. It was the night I developed the first crush I ever had. The little boy was the ring bearer at my cousin Susan’s wedding and I was just for sure that I would marry him. It was great. And I got to wear a pretty dress with shiny black shoes.

(That’s my cousin, Christian, beside me. I was older and at that time, up until about 7th grade, I was the shorter one.)
