Edward knew he loved Bella from the first day of pre-k.  Bella's loved everything pink and carnation since Edward gave her one for her birthday.  Remeber a simpler time when your biggest worry was getting your favorite crayon and our booboo's could be kissed away with the promise that it would be better before we got married.  Originally an entry for the Crayola Contest.  My crayon, Carnation Pink.
