For Christmas this year, my parents got me the most wonderful gift. I had no idea what it could possibly be, so when I opened it and realize what it was, I shrieked! It was wonderful! It was fantastic! It was the most glorious site I had seen in many, many days! It was a record player.
Oh how I love my new record player, I could go on and on and on, but that is not what this post is really about. This post is about my parents falling in love and how I have in my possession a little piece of that.
The music I played this morning was a Carpenter's record.
So I don't know, it just hit me this morning how incredibly romantic this story is. I'm so happy to have these records. It's like owning a piece of history. It's all part of the reason I am here.
And I think that is fantastic.

I LOVE the Carpenters. I too know all the words and I have those casette tapes. They are also my Christmas music favorite!
I never heard that story! That's awesome! And WHERE did your parents find a record player? Man, that's an awesome gift! My parents have tons of all records in the storage room--I wonder what treasure there are in there? (and what nightmares!) They don't have a story like that, though. Yay!
It's a brookstone record player. It's fancy cause you can hook it up to your computer and make digital files. The sound quality is amazing too.
That is such a romantic sentimental story...love it. Our song is Here and Now by Luther Vandross.
Ahhh, that is so sweet. I love the pictures!
I love the caprenters too! I bet you kind find some awesome records at garage sales!
Love the family pics!
Emili, there is a store here called half price books that sells records. I just went there today and spent $10 for 5 records. Awesome.
oooh, what a sweet story. I had no idea you actually would remember that story. We knew we had the perfect gift for you. You have said a few times that you wanted one. Happy Mothers's Day. What a great mother and daughter you are.
Leslie, just catching up on your blog. Nice comments. One shock I had about 10 years ago is that many couples who fell in love and got married that year had the same experience with the carpenters-maybe not the part about always landing in the apartment after dates listening to the Carpenters. Love the pics. Love,.......Dad
