Target Trip.

After lunch I drove out to Target for some last minute touches for the goodies we have for Teacher Appreciation week.

If you know a teacher thank them, they sure make the world go round.


Well while at Target I saw this young girl looking at the end caps, a young man stood by her and they were trying to figure out what they needed.

I thought to myself, okay their mom will come around the corner uhmmm...NOW!
Nope no mom.
Then I thought....Could they be dating?
They couldn't be married..they look awful young.
Then there as the Pixie blond extended her hand I saw her ring.
They WERE married.
Then I studied them and thought they don't look older than 20 or so.

They looked so happy with their cart full of things a newlywed couple buys when they are moving into their first place....dish rack, towels, broom and mop.

Soon Pixie blond stood there with Long dark hair, dark skin and a back pack purse.
And the filled out boy became tall and lean with chiseled features.
They can't decide on what type of trash can to buy, she's a worry wart who doesn't want their indoor kitties knocking over the garbage can.

He teases her making her laugh, causing her to punch him in the arm.
We too were that young couple once upon a time.

Nick had just turned 21 as we stood there in Targets isle looking at garbage cans for our new apartment, I was 24.

I passed Pixie blond and husky boy as I heard her laugh. I wondered if he teased her too.
I hope one day Pixie blond can stand there looking at a young couple starting out, remembering how that was once her.
And be there 9 years later, happily married, still so much in love, with little ones of her own, a home and a dog.

Enjoy every moment Pixie blond time sure does fly because it feels like only yesterday, I was you.
