Finding Fantasy Friday: First Love is like a Fairy Tale?

I can't believe I haven't written this one yet, especially since in my book, Secrets of the Truth, the MC (Meri) has her first love.

Seriously, is there anything more fantastical than your first love? Well, yes, finding that one you realize you can't live without. Sometimes that co-exists. Not so much for me. I went the practice makes perfect route.

I remember as a girl, fantasizing that my first love would be just like a fairy tale. With songs that say, "So this is love. MmmHmmMmm." from Cinderella and "I know you. I walked with you once upon a dream." from Sleeping Beauty, how could a girl not have a picture of what first love is like.

Is love a real life fantasy?

Family Fun Frenzy

Before Hurricane Katrina, my family lived within thirty minutes of each other. By family, I mean immediate family and then grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Now, I live an hour and a half from my parents, who live at least an hour from my mom's parents. My cousins are the same and my brother is now two hours from me. Back then, we would have family dinners once a week on Tuesdays. My grandmother would cook a three course meal, and we would all show up, eat, and hang out.
