Have I mentioned before how big a fan I am of Elvis Presley? When I was seven years old, Lilo and Stitch came out. My mother, being a huge fan of Elvis Presley, took me to the theater to watch the film. We went back five more times. I fell in love with the movie and Elvis Presley along with it.

There was something so magical about him. For my eighth birthday, my mother planned a trip to Graceland. We went back for my ninth birthday as well. There is this air about Elvis Presley that draws you in. He's a beautiful man with an even more beautiful voice.

There are a lot of embarrassing stories surrounding my love for Elvis -- including a tape of me singing "That's Alright Mama" -- but there are also a lot of wonderful memories around him. My grandmother went to Graceland with us and she loved him just as much as my mother and I did. We were a family of Elvis fanatics. But how could you not be a fan of him? Have you seen his face? Heard his gospel music? He's the best man I've ever seen -- truly.

As far as first crushes go, Elvis Presley was a pretty good pick.

catch you later,
