One of Jonathan's favorite things right now is to torment Matthew by calling him a baby. (He's a big brother...this is fully expected.) Friday morning in the car on the way to the sitter, the conversation in the back seat went something like this:
Jonathan: Matt's a baby.
Matthew: I'M. NOT. A BABY!!
Rinse, lather, and repeat a couple dozen times. Finally, a brief silence (taking a breath for air, perhaps), and then, from the middle seat, a small voice:
Graceanne: I a beebee.

1 score years
What were you doing February 3rd, 1989? Me? I had my first date with the man who would become my eternal companion and the father of my children. How is it possible that we've been together for 20 years? I'm not that old!! Heck, I wasn't even that old when I met him! (It was a week before my 19th birthday.) Anyway, I can't think of anyone I'd rather be on this journey through life with, and I'm looking forward to the next 2 or 3 score years ahead of us.
So okay, we have to go back to 1989 for just a minute (I do love me some YouTube). Here's a song I distinctly remember dancing with Mike to at one of the few "dances" that were held in the old Pub at IC. Apparently, this song is notable for being in the Guiness Book for the LONGEST note held by a Power Ballad/Pop song. I haven't actually verified that, but it's not too hard to believe.
(Love love LOVE the stylin' '80s looks on these guys!)
I have to admit it was a tossup between the Sheriff song and "Angel Eyes" by the Jeff Healy Band, which is a song I've heard Mike singing around the house on more than one occasion. But hey, it's my blog, and since the Jeff Healy song is sung from a guy's point of view, I went with Sheriff. If you're interested, here's a link to the other one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYz_LHKrgDY
Oh, and for the record, 3 years later, on this same day, we got engaged. I'll save the songs from 1992 for another time.
