What special moment do you expect you will remember fondly even at the end of your life?

First time having sex.
First kiss. (Oh god this was so amazing and cheesy, but I loved every second of it.)
First time having real(er) sex.
I had a few others but the phone rang and I can’t remember what they were now :[.

There are so many, how can I choose just one. Probably my wedding day, when I realized that the woman I had been through so much with was now going to be with me for the rest of my days. If there is anything better than being married to your best friend in the whole world, I haven’t heard of it yet.

meeting my boyfriend in person after a year of strictly internet/phone communication

I keep trying to write other things, but that moment is so special everything else seems mundane in comparison.

My wedding in the forest, and the way she looked at me.

I suspect (and hope) that many more things will happen to me before I die. So far though, I’m going to go with junior high/high school. It was the last time my close friends and I were all together. I loved that and I miss that.

The day I met my boyfriend

The time when I had to step in and substitute as a drummer in a big band playing swinging jazz standards. I was in heaven for a while there. Even though I don’t play drums :)

First kiss. It wasn’t with someone I was in love with, but those feelings of someone touching me for the first time, the electricity of it all…definitely memorable.

The birth of my son. The moment he came out I was just speechless. They put him into my arms and I was just looking at him, just saying “it’s okay shhhh” because he seemed scared and shocked at the new environment. My husband was crying and saying “oh my god he’s beautiful, he’s so beautiful” over and over, and then he asked me why I wasn’t crying, and for some reason that made the tears pour out and we held out son and cried tears of happiness. And then he started breastfeeding instantly, and it was just amazing. It’s just truly amazing how we give life and nutrients to these little beings

My wedding day. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy. I could not stop smiling and seeing my husband while I walked down the aisle was just insanely gosh I don’t know how to explain the feeling. It overwhelms you though.

The births of my boys. That amazing day in human relations class when I recognized the love of my life. Last night.

My honeymoon in the Smokie Mountains.

The birth of my children.

Our first family vacation to northern Wisconsin.

My first experience with whitewater rafting.

Standing on one of the bridges in London overlooking the Thames at midnight with the man I love. Sounds really cheesy (it actually gets cheesier as there was a guy busking with a keyboard and he was playing the theme from Love Story at the time….you may barf now!!!) but it was the best moment of my life.

Another moment I will cherish was seeing Barbra Streisand in concert in 2007. My dream come true!

Haven’t quite lived long enough to have children, get married, or in my case, have sex, but there are already a few moments I’ve had that I do not think I will ever forget.

When I “met” my boyfriend in San Diego (which involved my first kiss); that magic-filled night in July 2009 will never be forgotten.

Neither will the time I read my graduation speech in 8th grade in front of the graduating class, the parents, the teachers, police officers, and various other members of the community. Never going to forget that.

There are a few smaller ones, but those are the big ones I can think of right now.

It would depend on how my life was ending. If I was being munched on by a shark (many people expect that is the way I’ll go) falling off a high object, losing another argument with a truck on my motorbike, then I doubt that I’ll be thinking fondly of anything.

The birth of my two sons, meeting each of my husbands; the smiles and laughter of my family.

I think it might be the night I learned to laugh at suicide. Everything kind of turned around right then.

Birth of my twins.

I don’t know yet because something truly monumental might still occur between now and the time I die that could surpass all the astounding moments I’ve already experienced in my life so far.

Heh. I just “remembered” one of the biggest ones that I’ll never forget. It’s actually kind of freaking me out that I didn’t mention it up there; maybe I won’t remember it. Those of you on wis.dm will remember me talking about it for weeks: the Senior Fashion Show last year. Awesome experience. Never forget it. The most fun I’ve ever had with my high school class, not to mention my mom was involved in it. I even have the film of it, over 100 photos from it, and those studio photos of me. I can’t believe that was a whole year ago (October 2008)...time flies…

I remember just feeling high on life the day of the fashion show last October. I sure hope I don’t forget that.
