We meet in our old neighborhood, Pullman.Lilo took the reigns on this one and is answering all kinds of questions about me, us and life as a husband. Both of us have felt more pain than we ever knew was possible, and more deep joy than we ever realized existed. Two teens stepping out into the world when we honestly had NO IDEA what life would bring us. His radio blasting freestyle music but the songs of the year were “I Wanna Sex You Up” by Color Me Badd, “Rush Rush” by Paula Abdul, “Baby Baby” by Amy Grant, and “I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams (sorry I am sure you are totally singing these songs in your head now).

Silence of the Lambs was the movie to watch. The year the Chicago Bulls won their first championship, the slang words da bomb, chillin’, diss, aiiiight, boo ya, talk to the hand, hella, and as if were used frequently in every sentence. ![]()
