Linking up with Tiffany from The Austin Family Diary for
My six memories:
The day my Grandmother had a heart attack.
I know this is a sad memory but it's a big one. I was the one who took my Grandmother to the ER because she felt like she had the flu. I was the one who stayed with her until 4am, to finally find out that she had a heart attack. I was there at 6am to see her off to her open heart surgery, which turned into a quadruple bypass. 3 1/2 years later, she has had issues with her diabetes and hernias, kidney problems, a pace maker placed and breast cancer. She has gone through a lot in the past few years but she has always fought through. She's one tough cookie!
The day I graduated from college.
Of course I can't find any of the pictures we took for this but that's OK. It was really important to me because it took me 15 semesters to graduate! That's 7 1/2 years! I went to college full time my first year, took a year off, then went back and changed my major. I started going part time in my third year because full time college plus full time job equaled failure. So it took me a long time but I managed to get through it. I graduated from Penn State in December of 2009.
The day I got married.
It was just such a wonderful day. It didn't go perfectly. Some of my flowers froze in the refrigerator overnight. The cake topper fell and messed up the top of the cake. The DJ played the YMCA even thought I specifically told him not too (LOL). But none of that mattered. It was the perfect day for us and that's all that mattered.
The day the test was positive.
The reason I include this is because it was sort of a special occasion for my husband and I. April 18, 2011. I took the test before my husband got home from work. I called him while he was on his way and told him to hurry because I had a gift for him. He was actually mad because we had said that we wouldn't exchange gifts on this occasion. It was the perfect set up! So I told him to close his eyes and I placed the test in his hands. He wasn't mad anymore!
The birth of my daughter.
I think it's pretty self explanatory. I just can't even explain how much my life changed the day that little girl was born. They layed her on my chest and she just looked up at me and that was it.
The day the test was positive....again!
This one was a surprise for us! We had decided that we were going to start trying for a second child once Baby Girl turned a year old. We never expected to get pregnant on the first try! More on this later but we are so excited to give Baby Girl a sibling!!! I'll be posting a boy or girl poll at some point so make sure you vote!
