Contrary to popular belief and various other rumors, there WAS someone before my days of Crush Boy. I’ve been thinking a lot about first crushes lately…how they seem so important and new and exciting at the time, how they shape you and how they still with you, in your heart, long after you’ve jumped off the school yard swings.
His name was Spencer. He was my first crush. We were both in the same class for, I think, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. I was in love with him. Well, as in love as a seven-year-old could be, which means I probably would have given him my favorite crayon or my dessert if it meant he’d notice me. He had brown hair, a cute smile and seemed so nice. Notice seemed is the operative word here, as I was too ahy and timid back then to actually say anything to him.
We grew up, moved on (or at least I did), but he’s stayed with me. Those exhilirating feelings still bring a smile to my face. So Spencer W., if you’re reading this, thank you. I had some rockin’ times in elementary school thanks to you.
Moral: We all have a first crush, and it’s only after we grow up and look back that we can see in greater detail the ways that person changed our lives.
So who was your first crush? I’d love to hear your story.

Mel
P.S. Spencer and I are Facebook friends….and YES, he’s still a cutie.

Cool blog! Love this post… although I hope you’re not talking about Spencer from The Hills lol… hmm I think my first crush was Ricky Schroder from that 80’s show “Silver Spoons”. Blast from the past!

Haha I know what Spencer you are talking about!!!
My first crush was a Asagi Daniels. We both attended Montessori School… we had tons of kisses! (yes in preschool) and I always sat by him during snack time. I think some blondie named Kelly eventually became the apple of his eye… but I still wonder what he’s up to. I never saw him after that.

Haha, my first crush was this guy named Rambo(No, not the actor). We were in the same class through the whole elementary school. I think almost the whole school knows about it, but I kept denying it of course. We used to fight a lot, just kicking and punching each other. LOL. =]
