Wow to be reminded of the 80s!!! Yikes!!! Should the ORIGINAL Cabbage Patch kids be in that list?? Thanks for the memories!!
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.
