Ok, who saw Ricky Schroeder in the American Idol audience right after Brooke sang last night?Seriously, I was SO in love with him when I was little. Silver Spoons was my favorite show. I even wrote Amy loves Ricky (or something to that effect) on the bottom of the back side of my bed (I think that's where it was) Oh, and he's gone back to using "Ricky" instead of Rick. ... he says his family has always called him Ricky.
(do you still have that bed Mary?...I'm sure Abi knows exactly where it was written & what it said)
Anyway, you can fast forward t0 4:32 to check out my 1st celebrity crush, Ricky Schroder (and his wife).
And, ya know how marrying a celebrity always seems completely impossible because you could never marry them in the temple? I even remember praying that he'd be baptized (purely for selfish reasons....because somehow he'd find me & we'd get married). Well, HE IS LDS. Although he wasn't baptized until after he married his wife, who is LDS.
5/18/08 UPDATE: here's an article about his recent talk at a Singles Conference in SLC.
6/1/08 And here's his conversion story.
I didn't see him during that performance on my tv! But you're right! There he is!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo with you. I totally crushed on him as a little kid also! And even still, he's so dreamy!
Oh Yes! I remember finding it and having to explain who Ricky was to your cousins. Uncle Tracy and I laughed and laughed! That bed was in use at our house until Jed left now we don't need it. hmmmm I wonder if I could auction it off on eBay! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteROFL you know you just don't think about that stuff until something like this comes up! SO FUNNY! I remember coming home to just have to watch that show! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO funny - when I was doing "research" (OK, totally obsessing) before meeting Ricky Schroder, I actually found this posting on google and read it. Small world that you ended up finding my blog! You actually look SO familiar to me - especially the older pic. And I even recognized your name. Weird, no?
ReplyDeletep.s. I have a picture with Will Swenson, he's so nice! :)
