I think you should add the fact that you learned all your dance moves from House Party to the list...Jason might know something about that.

Hey Kristyn! I saw your comment the other day and wanted to say hi! Preston is ADORABLE! He's Jason's mini-me. You look so great! I love this post about the 80s, too. My favorite: singing to fresh prince and the clip on the corner of the t-shirt! Did you know that next year's COLLEGE FRESHMAN were born in the 90s? Wow, we're really dating ourselves.
