Is the huge picture a bit obnoxious or what? We had been dating a few months when Clay asked if I wanted to drive to St. Louis to visit his mom and sister and Gary,Todd and Kirk, his high school buddies. We were both nineteen, the year was 1989. We went to his home church on Sunday before heading back to school and that’s when his sister took that photo of us, it’s the first picture of us together as a couple.
I think instead of me posting a little blurb every time he puts up a new post I’ll stick the obnoxious picture up there, will that be okay? Or should I put it in the side bar? Maybe I’ll move it around the blog like a ‘Where’s Waldo’ game. Anyway, go read the third installment, it’s all about a boy trying to get to know a girl and failing.

Ah! There’s the pic! I think an advertisement was covering it before.
Clay is an inch taller than I was giving him credit for! Holy smokes!
No photo to be seen! WAAAAAH! I cant find it….off to read Clays post
OH!!!! Now I see it! I think we all had similar outfits April…PLEASE tell me you no longer allow Clay to wear white socks with suits! Thats the first thing I saw…Oh what we thought was stylin! Bet your daughter loves this one
1989? No! Really? (not!)
Oh, the shoulder pads!
That photo, what can I say. So cute! Such kids! (And I was gettin’ married at nineteen!)
Put it in the side bar, that way you can enjoy the memory every day!
wahhh, i can’t see the picture!
I wish the pic was bigger. At thumbnail size Clay looks like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show
I like it in the blog body cause I tend to ignore the sidebar. Great pic!
LOVE the picture!! April, you could easily have been a model, but your life is perfect as it is!!
That picture looks familiar, but I can’t place the movie
I love reading BOTH of your writings!
There is only one reason I can see for wearing white sox with a suit. College laundry issues, or not owning a pair of dark sox in college and being too broke to buy a pair on the way to Church. You remind me of my own college age son, who lets way too many things slide under the heading of “broke college kid”.
I like the pic, it looks like a movie poster. sweet.
