My first love story isn't that intersting, so I'll talk about a mish-mash of firsts today...
First love: Still living it now. I met my husband when I was 20 and am still as madly in love with him now as I was when we met. This is us at Niagara Falls in January.
First heartbreak: It was so long ago and so trivial that I can't believe what a big deal I made out of it at the time. It's funny how that saying that, "If it won't matter in 5 years, don't obsess over it" makes so much sense now that we're older =)
First favorite book: Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was 7, newly arrived in the U.S. from India and got this book from Christmas in my first stocking. I must have read it at least 40 times that firwst year. I was fascinated by pork sausage, homemade cheese, and stick candy just like our heroine.
First Favorite Movie: The Little Mermaid. I was 9 and remember thinking in the theatre, "So this is what magic really is." I loved (and still love) that movie. The heroine, the songs, and the incredibly debonair Prince Eric set my expectations of what I wanted my prince to be.
Close, hmm?
So that's all the interesting stuff from me today...next up, more BBG Firsts!

Dona, this is so inspiring, and yes, indeed, you met your prince!
So glad to finally see a pic of your hubby! And those are great photos, by the way. Looks to me like you definitely found a prince. Alas, I'm still looking for mine. Sigh. :-)

That is the sweetest post ever, Dona! You and your husband are the most photogenic couple I've ever seen! :)
