First Loves Blogfest; Clearing the Cobwebs From My Brain

This wasn't our car, but it's pretty close!

There are so many firsts in life and as firsts, they would seem to be easy to remember, but that's not what I'm feeling as I write this. When it comes to my kids, that's easier. I remember the first time my daughter slept through the night and how scared I was that something had happened. I remember the first time I told my husband I was pregnant. I remember the first time my two older children had their first conversation. All of those firsts come to mind pretty quickly, but my own firsts, I had to think about these a bit.

First Movie: Star Wars, Episode IV (at the time, the whole concept made no sense so I always thought of it as Star Wars I, but don't tell George Lucas)
First Song/Band: I loved Simon and Garfunkle. Growing up in the 70s and listening to my parents music on the 8 track tape player while driving in the wood paneled station wagon, I think it was just meant to be. Still love those guys!
First Book: This may seem a bit off the wall, but I loved the book Go Ask Alice. Dark and scary, I know but following her journey, I really felt for her and her loss and sadness as a teenager. I read it over and over again until the pages were tattered. I even picked up a copy several years ago that I am holding on to for my daughter once she's old enough for it. That day seems to be approaching faster and faster.
First Love: Brad.
