I'm absolutely inspired to go write about a kiss in my own blog now. The line about past and present being mushed together, and time pausing all around you-awesome! I caught the feeling mid air-I've been there too, with my own love, and it's bliss.

I just wanted to answer your question on my blog post about CSN stores giveaway. They are an online store, no storefronts anywhere, that's based in the US. So if you won, you'd have to pay international shipping charges. It probably wouldn't be worth it for you, unfortunately, but I don't know. Sorry!! Awwww! So sweet.

I am afraid that others might be offended by my enthusiasm; too much affection for them in public. When I read about kissing or watch it on movies it holds so much magic and love. Maybe I should practice kissing in public or out in the open when the moment is right and stop worrying about other peoples reactions. Maybe, just maybe, my kiss will be a 'fairy tale romance' moment for someone else. Kissing is something that I enjoy doing when no one is looking.

The first time Dale kissed me was actually on stage! (Another whole Musing.) But the first time he kissed me as ME (instead of "Sarah Brown") was on the front porch of my cabin in West Yellowstone, with all my roommates just inside the door too! I think they remember the whole incident better than I do! Oh Emily! How precious! The first time Dale kissed me was actually on stage! (Another whole Musing.)

It was not my first kiss but it was his. We'd been dating for about a month and he had just spent the evening with me and my roommates and friends (brave man, indeed). We wanted a couple of minutes alone to say goodnight so we stood outside the front door of my apartment. I think we both knew it was going to happen but were really nervous. My friends were standing just inside the closed door singing "Kiss the Girl" taking turns looking through the peephole. Embarrassing! But as he hugged me goodnight, he quickly kissed my cheek (he says it was to "test the waters") at which point I turned my head towards his and he gave me the shortest little peck on the lips you've ever seen. We both turn bright red, sheepishly squeaked out a goodnight and I rushed inside as he practically ran down the hall back to his apartment. And it certainly wasn't by chance that the next day is the first time we said "I love you". My favorite kiss is probably the first one Brent and I shared. It was not my first kiss but it was his.

For some reason, it seems cooler to use a good ol' British slang word. Evan even made a CD labeled "snogging songs." So, snog on! We miss you lots - when are you coming home for a little visit?

We miss you lots – when are you coming home for a little visit?

Doesn't it make you hungry to serve a mission with Dale? I'm sure you would have the same experiences but in a whole new way in which you get to experience them the Lord's way while doing his work. However, I think if we're doing things right - we're always experiencing life in new ways while doing his work. About kisses. . . . Just the other day Jon told me that he knows all of my kisses. I was glad, but also a bit disappointed because I don't want him to be bored - I'd like to be able to surprise him here and there - and have been trying. My attempts mostly end in fits of laughter - for both of us. Knowing each others' kisses is a good thing . . . . a REALLY good thing. Thanks for your fun musing!
