February 16 - Tell about your first kiss.

I will tell you about my "sweet 16 birthday kiss". I was in my typing class. There was a boy that I thought was really cute and I was kind of friends with. Well, my friends thought that it would be funny to get him to give me a kiss on my 16th birthday - at school! As I was sitting in class, he was sitting behind me a couple of rows back. He started towards me and just as he was going to give me a kiss on the cheek, I heard someone come up behind me and turned my head. Yep, you guessed......he planted on on the lips. I don't think I have ever turned that shade of red....ever!

February 15 - Tell about your first date.

One of the first dates that I remember was to Homecoming my sophomore year. I had just come home from a volleyball game and my mom informed me that Brian Anderson (who was a friend of my older brother, Joel; a graduate; and one I had a crush on) had come to the house looking for me. My Mom said that he was going to ask me to the Homecoming Dance that just happened to be that night. He did come back and asked me to go. Now I had a major crush on this guy, so I wasn't about to turn him down. The problem was that I didn't have a very formal dress to wear, but I made do with what I had. What a fun night and a dream come true. I felt like Cinderella for a couple of hours.

February 14 - Tell about a special valentine you once received.

February 13 - Tell about a special valentine you once gave.

February 12 - Tell about the Valentine's Day festivities at your school.

In elementary school, the big this was making valentine's boxes and hoping that special someone would give you a special valentine. I remember it being so exciting to read the valentine's and getting the candy and seeing who gave you what. At that age, we also would take valentine cards around to our friends in the neighborhood, drop it on the porch, ring the doorbell, and run. I loved the surprise of a valentine waiting for me on the porch and whom may have given it to me.
Once I got to jr. high and high school, it was always dances. I didn't like the stomps at the jr. high and the one at the high school was always a girls choice dance. Of course, I always asked the guy that I really liked....if he didn't have a girlfriend or hadn't been asked already!

February 11 - Who was your first boyfriend?

My first boyfriend was Kris Hunter. I started dating him when I was 16 and he was 18. I think I was a junior in high school though, so I turned 17 shortly after. He was in my ward and the Bishop's son. We had a lot of fun together.....we went to a lot of musicals - mostly church musicals; the rodeo; out to ice cream; and lots of other stuff. He got his mission call and I told him that I wouldn't wait for him and we would have to see what happened when he got home. I didn't think it was fair to either of us to say I would wait. Everyone in my ward thought that we would get married when he got home, but I didn't want to because I was only 19 and not ready for that commitment. I also did the unpardonable......I dated his older brother while he was gone on his mission and I was in college. I didn't date him very much, but I sure liked him and he became one of my best friends. His brother's name was Kyle. The sad thing about that was that he was in a plane crash and died when I was 19. They were both great guys and came from a great family.
