First Kiss



December 4, 1995.

Some dates you just remember.  The day of my first kiss.  First real kiss.  Not a kiss with Andy in Kindergarten, Chris in 1st grade, Nathan in 5th grade, or Tony in 6th grade.  This was my first kiss not as a kid (well, technically I was still a kid-teenager).  It was in the evening.  I was standing outside my garage with "Charlie" (name changed to protect the innocent).  He was going to kiss me on the cheek, because he wanted to wait until I was sixteen to give me a real kiss (thoughtful, I know).  Well, devil that I am, when he went in for a quick peck on my cheek, I turned my head and it happened.  On the lips.  I felt all goose-bumpy and special.  I guess you never forget your first love.  Maybe it's the new feelings of a first love.  They're so innocent and exciting.  I remember them.  After that first boy I can count on one hand (3 fingers, exactly), how many boys I kissed before Ben.  Now, if you were to ask Ben the same question, I don't think he could give the same answer.  Not enough hands for my sweet, ladies' man (I'm slightly teasing, maybe only one hand short:)).  Funny, the things we remember.

EDIT:  okay, I had a little reminder from my dearest friends of my youth (and still dearest, today).  There were FOUR, not three.  They think more, I'm waiting to hear back who they THINK I kissed.  Thank heavens for friends, right?

Love you Lanette!

Three fingers total for how many I've kissed in my life. We had a thing at our high school to not "waste" our kisses- can you tell I went to high school in Utah?!
Christopher on the other hand, he needs several hands that is- ha ha

Lanette said...

Katie and Honey, do I need to remind you? Okay, there was Mike Alison (eh), Jedd, and Brandon Brown (Spring term, college). No one else. Who were you guys thinking? I'm blushing over here...I can't think of any more!! Oh, wait, you're right. I lied. There was Brian Knudsen, too. Okay, FOUR...still on one hand! Love you guys, too!

Honey said...

Looks good. Thanks for naming them :) helped me out. tee hee.

katieo said...

hahahahaha!

No I was actually thinking that tall blond guy...freshman year college...hill by the bell tower... Can't remember his name.

I thought there was an EFY one in there, too, but I'm sure I'm just imagining that one. I'm probably just thinking about all the boys who WANTED to kiss you... ;)

Lanette said...

Katie, that was Jason Kenyon. We never kissed. He wanted to wait until after his mission to kiss anyone. The prude. Just kidding. I just tried to tempt him by the bell tower all night, but it didn't work. He stuck to his guns. Good guy. Who can resist Lanette Moss?

Kathy said...

lanette!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW did i not know you kissed jedd???????????????????????????????????? that must have been after i left for my home and native land. hmmmm - interesting.

remember the guy we delivered top ramen to? i gave mine to kyle ("don't lose your savor", heh) and you gave yours to the leader there. . . . BAH - what was his name???? oooh - thad??? steph and i were just talking about that when she was here. that night was SO hilar.

Lanette said...

Kathy, it wasn't Jedd from freshman year. Jedd was a guy from home who I was dating before I started college. Not Jedd Brinton. Jedd, from Felt days is still single. I think he's at Yale or something. And please, Thad!!!! That is a memory I would rather bury FOREVER and never dig up again! Oh my gosh, I was such a retard. I can't believe I liked that guy. Ugh. He was so full of himself. So full. I guess it's a good thing he never liked me back.

Kathy said...

oh - heh.

HA HA HA HA on the thad thing. i think the top ramen made them love us.

My bro in law used to always tell us girls, "Don't give your kisses out like pretzels."

AHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- i'm laughing so hard over here. i thought there were more from the Brittany... didn't you date Kenton Brough?

Lanette said...

No. I never dated Kenton. You all crack me up. You all really thought I was a HUSSY! Thanks, guys.

Debbie and Bobby said...

I think I know who that "name changed" person was :o) This is a fun one to read through, lol!

Brenda said...

Funny!  This post pulled up on your randomized post thing...it brought back memories of the Brittany.  Remember one of our first nights, you Karren, Allison, and I were chatting in our living room.  Karren, Allison, and I all had similar answers to how many we had kissed.  I seem to remember you saying five! We were all shocked! "Five," we repeated, wide eyed and probably amazed! "They were all in serious relationships!" you quickly stated in defense...this was before the beardless-Ben kiss... :)
