Hmmm…… I’ll keep thinking….
I loved hearing his stories and thoughts as we drove. I loved riding with him to early morning Seminary every morning.
When I was a freshman in Highschool, he and Mom decided that I could go to every other school dance. I was okay with that, until the second dance came along. We spent a lot of time discussing it in their room. Finally, I just started to cry, and he said, “oh, don’t cry!…..okay you can go to the dance.” And he got a lot of of hugs and kisses.
One time, Matt and I stayed out reeeally late and didn’t call. So, we were given some very intense punishments. Matt couldn’t talk on the phone for a week and I couldn’t read the Sunday Funnies on Sunday.
