Day 6........A Moment you wish you could relive

There are a lot of days that I would love to relive or do over again.  High school graduation.  Just because I made a step from living at home with my mom to the next step in my life...independence.  My college graduation.  I am the 1st person from my family (father's side and my mom's side) to graduate from a 4 year university.  That is an awesome thought for me, that I did it and I was the 1st.  

My wedding day or days'.  Both wedding days.  Ryan and I were married at the courthouse on Friday October 5th, 2007. We did an official courthouse wedding because I did not want to spend the $200 or more to have someone come and marry us.  So we went to the courthouse with our parents, my brother and a couple of friends.  The next day Saturday October 6, 2007 we had our "wedding".  I remember it being a very rainy and very humid day (in October, not normal).  The rain stopped about 12:00pm noon that day.   We had a beautiful day, with our friends and family.  My brother was my man of honor and Jason (Ryan's cousin and best friend) was is best man.  Dalton (another good/best friend of Ryan) "married" us.  Since we had been married the day before, we thought that was a great way to include him in our special day.

Another great day in my life was getting reconnected to my sister.  My brother and I grew up here in MN/WI.  But we have a half(but she is just my sister) sister who was born, raised and has always lived in Pittsburgh.  We were never connected growing up, she is a little older then my brother and I, family issues, and the likes.  We grew up knowing of our sister Kerry, but did not have any connection.  But with the power of internet, December 2009 she found my brother and I on facebook.  March 2010 I flew to Pittsburgh alone to meet my sister, brother in law, niece and nephew.   What an awesome experience.  It is funny because even though we are 10 years apart in age, grew up in seperate homes, 800 miles apart, we are very similar.  We look alike, we act or do things alike.  

My sister and I March 2010.

But the day that I have to say that I would love to do again, just to experience would be my first date with the hubby.  We had a really great first date.  It lasted like 8 hours or something.  Ryan planned a great first date.  A movie, bowling and then hanging out on the boardwalk in Stillwater, MN.  Our first date was October 2, 2005 (my brother's birthday).  If you know Ryan personally, he is a very quiet, not talkative person.  But he was very talkative that night and is most nights at home.  It was the beginning of our life together.  I knew that night that something was different with this boy and something was different between he and I that I had not seen before.  Now if you ask Ryan about it, he'll deny it, but I know he would agree with me :)  So that is the day that I would relive.  The butterflies in my stomach and all!

I don't wish to relive a day, I always just look forward to the next day.  (Meaning, I am too tired to think about this,  and don't want to answer today)

So I have been stuck inside of our apartment for day #2.  It is still snowing outside, the parking lot was a mess until an hour ago or so.  The side roads have not been touched.  So tonight I guess it is chillaxin, watching some TV.  I thinking I may go bake a cake first though.  So I hope you all have a great evening, stay warm and stay safe if you are here in MN/WI.
