Randy and I started dating when I was sixteen, so I still had those wonderful items of the teen years-braces. Most of the time he came over to mom and dad's house in lieu of going "out on a date" and we played cards, watched movies or were just entertained by the house full of kids.
Usually, I would walk him out to his truck and we would talk about getting married, moving to Texas or Montana, and being able to be together all the time-you know the 'teens in love' stuff! Of course, I would always give him a big hug goodnight with a smile on my face....but this night was different.
Randy had worn a button down flannel shirt over his t-shirt, and as I leaned in for the hug-with a big smile on my face-my braces proceeded to become caught on his flannel shirt! As I wondered how to get myself detached from his shirt, I'm sure he wondered if I was ever going to let go. Finally after a couple of minutes trying to get them undone, I had to admit I was "stuck" to him. After some big laughs, he was able to get my braces untangled from his shirt and set me free.
So, the moral of this flashback: If you are wearing braces, refraining from smiling during a hug, it could get complicated.

LOL! What a great story!! I hope to get braces someday, actually, so I'll have to remember your warning!!!
It's been so much fun reading your blog Elizabeth . I miss those sweet times watching all of you kids growing up. But I am finding that I get glimpses of those times periodically, just by watching YOUR kids. Each of my grandchildren have a wonderful way of reminding me of each of you. Randy was and is such a great guy. I thank God always for bringing him into ALL of our lives and being the father he is to my heart's treasures, Ashlynn, Ryder, and Gage. Hugs always, mom
