In 1995 there was a little girl (me) who's mother kept an IN-HOME daycare. One Summer morning, a very handsome little boy (LJ) and his sister (Leslie) started the daycare. When the little 5 year old, snagged toothed, wild haired, long legged little girl seen the 6 year old blond hair, hazel eyed little boy...she fell in love! She told her mom secretly that she wanted to marry that boy! Her mother laughed and didn't think much more of it! The little girl tried and tried again to get LJ the 6 year old boy to play with her....barbies, baby dolls, bored games, everything! However, LJ was very shy, and only wanted to watch, Rugrats, The Ninja Turtles, occasionally Power Rangers, and play with his sister Leslie. The closeness of the their relationship reached as far as sharing a bowl of popcorn and drinking orange soda watching Disney movies on the sofa.
LJ and his sister soon moved away...Lindsey often that about that beautiful blond haired boy...but knew she would never see him again.
Years later...they are grown...have had many experiences...ex relationships that failed...and without knowing who the other one was...the met through mutual friends... still unaware of the past they shared as kids.
One day Lindsey sent LJ a message...still only knowing him as a mutual friend...they begin talking...starting up a friendship...without any control sparks fly...they fall in love right away...and finally are told by their "parents" the childhood crush they used to have!
It is crazy and amazing all at once! Lindsey told her mom when she was 5 years old she would marry John William Ray (LJ) and she still plans to keep that promise!
