with Wonder.

Confession: I stole this from another blog. Now, if I was really high-tech like some of my other blogging friend, the word 'blog' would be a hyperlink to the blog I stole it from... but since I'm not, I'll just tell you that the blog is called kisssing, and I found in through my dear friend Anna.

Drumroll, please:

“All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us.” --The Wonder Years

I vividly remember watching The Wonder Years with my mom when I was very little. Don't act like you didn't want to fight for Winnie and Kevin, especially in the episode where Winnie moves to a neighboring school and the two young lovebirds promise to think about each other every hour, on the hour.

Lately, I've been feeling a little sentimental; maybe it's because I'm coming home for my 23rd Christmas, and that's quite a few Christmases under my belt... maybe a little more than I'm comfortable with. And so I love the finale quote from The Wonder Years, too:

"Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house, like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back...with wonder."
--The Wonder Years
