flashback

I love American Idol.
I love Lee Dewyze. He's my favorite.
I love(d) Shania Twain.
Last week was no exception. It flooded me with memories.

1995. Driving in my Jeep. Top off. Wind in my permed 80's hair. Blaring "Any Man of Mine". Hoping Preston would live up to my expectations. Just dating.

1998. Preston on his mission. I'm at Utah State. Still singing Shania in my Jeep. Top on. No 80's hair. Becoming a teacher. Writing letters to Brazil every week. He's Still the One. Waiting.

I just came across a "letter" I wrote to him in April of 1998. It was simply the lyrics to Shania's song...

Looks like we made it. Look how far we've come my baby...
