The love of my life in middle school...Devon Sawa
(Best known for Casper, Little Giants, Now and Then, and Final Destination ONE). So much so that I tracked down his phone number by calling every Sawa listed in Vancouver, British Columbia until I found a relative who reluctantly turned it over to me. This was a lot more work before google. And a lot more expensive I'm sure.
I loved him so much that I devoted an entire childhood diary to him. Yes, I did begin every entry with "Dear Devon". For some reason I liked that I could tell my deepest 12 year old secrets to this boy who had no idea who I was. He obviously didn't ever respond, but I still could say whatever I wanted. Blogging is similar for me. Maybe more people are reading this than I think, but I assume its probably my parents, husband, and sister, and I would tell them these things anyway.
So what I would tell Devon today is that I wish I didn't have to live in Teton Valley. I prefer my winters to be mild. I prefer my dance classes to be full. I prefer to be able to drive without stopping for cattle, pigs, truck drivers stopping to talk to each other, or snow drifts too deep to get through. Today it is 13 degrees and sunny, 30 degrees warmer than it was yesterday. I'm jealous of all the people I know living in places like Virgina, South Carolina, Texas, California, or even Utah. I think I might cry.
Just let me feel this way today. I promise I'll try in the next couple of days to devote a post to what is great about the place that I live.
Just added:
In case you don't understand quite how much I loved Devon...this is half of one wall of my bedroom. And in case you were wondering, I didn't get to talk to him on the phone but I did talk to his mother and she told me about the movie he was in the middle of filming, Wild America.
The funny thing is less than a year later I was in love with Leonardo and took all these pictures down.
