The Most Wonderul Moments Of My Life....that I can remember

I've been feeling a tad bit depressed lately. Stress is a killer and I have A LOT, especially this time of year. I'm also sick, with something permanent, and its scaring the shit out of me. So today, I have decided to remember, as best as I can, the most wonderful moments I have experienced. This list is subject to change, so be aware. I have the shittiest memory known to man, so forgetting something important is inevitable during this process. Please bear with me. Oh, and this is in no particular order....just what first comes to mind.

The day my Hayden was born

The day my Alexander was born

The day I met Landon

The day I married Landon. It took me six and a half years and two children later to finally marry him. He is my soul mate, my one and only, my everything and I know this for sure. We've been through more than any couple should be allowed, and I still love him unconditionally, more than I ever imagined possible, and it gets better every single day

The day I put in my two weeks notice at Tomas Cook

The day I quit drinking, and today, because I am still sober. Almost 4 years.

The days that I spend at my mom and dad's with my brother, sisters, Nicole, Landon and my babes. Just laughing and playing and making fun of Betty. When Johnathan's in the mood to rough house with me, and there's turkey and my mom's stuffing and the best fucking pumkpin pie you will EVER have.

The day my dad told his family about his diagnoses of lymphoma. I know, it seems strange to have this as one of the best times, when it also one of the worst. It opened my eyes, and made me realize that you can NEVER think, "it won't happen to me". He was the LAST person I expected in my family to get sick, and he did. It helped me to express my emotions whenever I had the chance. To love who and what I love with never ending passion, and to hate the same way. You can't have love without hate!

The day Ezekiel was born. The closest thing to a nephew I have, or what looks to be, I will ever have.

Richard's wedding. I got to hang out with Rhonda, and meet Telysa, her daughter, for the first time in like 14 years, or however old she is

The day I got my tattoo

Today, because I am still so fortunate to have both of my beautiful, wonderful, perfect children and my beautiful, wonderful, perfect husband. I also have my closest, bestest friends, and my family, minus one. But, I am thankful, that even though I hate with every essence of my being, the fact that my Auntie has left me, no one else close to me has. I still have them.

Today I am at peace, for now

awwwww! That is so sweet the Zeeky made your list! One of my best days of my life was moving in with your family at 16ot only because I got to leave my shitty house, but I got to know how a real family should be, and I got to experience having a family that truly cared for me!

Love you! We need to go for coffee
