The Happiest moment of your life....

sfgiantsjo · June 2009

and it CAN'T be: your wedding, your engagement, graduation, having babies getting PG or anything like that.

Mrs.K&C · June 2009

That's too hard!! I was really happy when we got our house but I don't know that it was THE happiest moment of my life.

sfgiantsjo · June 2009

Really, it's the happiest OTHER than all the above stuff I mentioned. Cause those are too obvious.

SeasonalCook · June 2009

The most recent happiest moment happened Sunday afternoon when E took her first real purposeful steps from DH to me. It was a combination of relief, excitement, and pride. It was awesome.

sfgiantsjo · June 2009

Let's see. Mine was probably the first time I finally felt good after my surgeries. I was on vacation with Josh, and we were ATVing in the red rocks in Sedona. It was beautiful, and I was out there doing something adventurous and fun, and I felt GREAT. Not sick. And I wasn't afraid of feeling sick, either.

When my grandmother was there for Cameron's naming ceremony. It was amazing to have her there Smile

NotJustAnAuntie · June 2009

When my mom called to ask me if i was available on August 23 for her to give me a kidney.

And when it happens again, whatever form that call takes, will take over for 1st place.

ETA: A close second is the first glimpse I ever got of the Eiffel Tower on our honeymoon... I'd wanted to see Paris since I was a little girl, and I was *giddy* with excitement, sitting on the bus.

Finalization Day...when she was ours forever.

yosemite · June 2009

sitting on the deck of the serengeti migration camp tented safari lodge in tanzania enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail (amarula) playing checkers with my husband while listening to the baboons and lions in the distance and watching the sunset. world's longest run-on sentence, but words really do not do it justice. unforgettable, impossible bliss. i hope we can take our daughter there someday!

When DH told me "I just love him so much".

tiki_t · June 2009

There are a bunch of them but this is my coming of age happy moment.

I was 18 and had been on a trip abroad with a group of people who were not only annoying but embarrassing to be around. We were sitting in LAX and I said that I needed to catch my connecting flight. They said to wait and I said no. They had connecting flights to other parts of the country but not to mine. I grabbed my 50 pound bag, threw it over my shoulder and declared my independence as a legal adult. I walked half way across the airport with that heavy bag on my shoulder, checked in on my own and jumped on the plane departing towards home. I know that they were ticked off but I knew that I would never see those people again (and I didn't). I flew home and kissed the ground when I deplaned in San Jose. I was so happy to be home. I can't describe the sense of freedom, independence and joy of not only taking control of my situation but opening a new chapter in my life. It was kind of symbolic for things to come.

emeraldwednesda · June 2009

I have two-

Getting called "Dr" for the first time by my advisor (telling me I passed my defense).

Having a convo with DH in our dating days that made me realize I really honestly wanted to be with him forever.?

pkw · June 2009

When I met DH...I just had this feeling come over me the first time we met...like...I knew I would see him again and I knew something was there. I just felt like everything else in my life was taking a backseat to something great. It was a really weird sensation that i did not fully realize for about 10 more months.

Then there was when I finally admitted to everyone what I really wanted to do as my career....

And finally...when I heard "K, do you still want to be a cop for ****? Please say yes and sign on our dotted line because we want you!'

Those 3 things...those really have been huge moments in my life.

joeysbabe · June 2009

The day my DH, then my FI said "Surprise, we're going to Disney World!" and left 3 days later for FL. It was the most unexpected, magical trip ever!

StefandTodd · June 2009

Well, if I can't say the moment T proposed (easily the happiest moment ever), I'll go with the moment I woke up the first time in my condo I bought all by myself a little over three years ago. I woke up, got this big silly grin on my face, turned on happy music, and jumped around dancing in my spare bedroom smiling ear to ear. I was SOooooo excited and happy. **I** had my very own SPARE bedroom!!

Now, this was 3 years ago. And in Modesto. So...hindsight is 20/20 and that condo was a HUGE mistake, but I try to really remember that moment - I was so proud of myself, I did that all on my own.

In fact, Todd just asked me the other day "who cosigned on your mortgage with you?" ...I was like what?!?...NO! That was ALL ME. Just 2 months after my 25th bday. All me. Dude, I'm proud of that.

dblhappiness · June 2009

The first time I said 'I love you' without any hesitation or doubt in my mind and hearing it reciprocated...still gives me butterflies.

Celyn · June 2009

walking through Copenhagen on a clear, crisp January morning. it's a 20-yr old memory, but it still ranks up there.

everydayeve · June 2009

Sitting in Lamar Valley in Yellowstone and watching a lone wolf running towards his pack as the sunset over the mountains. He paused for a moment to look up at the people watching him, threw his head back and howled. I felt so at peace in that moment.

OR the first day I wore my ranger uniform and had my badge on. I would have to say the entire summer I was a park ranger ranks pretty high. Can I count that as a single moment?

sfgiantsjo · June 2009

Just wanted to say that these are soooo cool. Remembering those little "big" moments, instead of the obvious huge ones.

luojjang · June 2009

Due to several reasons, there was a time when I was in the fourth grade, when I lived apart from my parents for 6 months. My mom was finishing up her phD and our family was in the process of moving from the US to Korea. My parents decided that my dad and I would make the move first (so I can adjust to new culture, language), but my dad was going to be busy working - so they thought it would be best if I lived with my grandparents for 6 months so they could give me the attention I needed. Needless to say, I missed my parents so much. I still remember the day, when my parents and I reunited - I was so excited.... I really think that was the happiest day of my life.

LoLoPanda · June 2009

Mine has to do with my wedding, but not an obvious one.

I have two half-sisters who were brainwashed by my dad's ex-wife. Both daughters pretty much wrote Dad off and had their uncles walk them down the aisle at their weddings. When I got to the end of the aisle at my wedding, and my Dad flipped my veil from my face over my head, my heart was singing because I gave my Dad his dream. He has always wanted to walk his daughter(s) down the aisle at their weddings, and I was the only one who allowed him to do that even though we had a volitile (sp?) relationship during my late teens/very early twenties.

My Dad and I have been best friends since.

mrscerruti2be · June 2009

This is so hard...I am going to have to say it was my senior year of high school. I had moved back to Ca from Ga and lived away from my parents for that entire year. I was lucky enough to be able to choose the classes I wanted. I had an incredible English teacher that was clearly frustrated with his students. I went to a high school that was full of dropouts. Anyway, I wrote a paper about my situation and he wrote something of to the effect of..."my respect for you grows and grows." He also offered me my first chance at a writing scholarship. This was super exciting to me because I always dreamed of being a writer.

ladipale · June 2009

I was pretty happy when I watched my husband graduate from law school..

I mean, its been a long four years and I was so proud, haven't been more proud of a person in my entire life. He followed his dream, he made it happen, and was able to support me in making my dream happen at the same time.

emeraldwednesda · June 2009

another one: ?finding out I was going to be able to move back to CA!!!

SacNatasha · June 2009

My MIL passed away 3 months after we got engaged and at our rehearsal dinner, my FIL gave me her Irish wedding ring. He has 2 sisters and they all agreed I was the right person to have it.

mrscerruti2be · June 2009

These are all so great. Thanks for sharing ladies.

joboogie_rn · June 2009

When I got into nursing school. When I opened that acceptance letter it was like, wow, I made it in. Unbelievable.

m&m818 · June 2009

Chiming in pretty late here..

I've got a couple..

- getting a letter offering me an academic scholarship to the #1 university on my list.

- Placing 3rd in nationals (gymnastics) one year. I worked my a.ss off for that medal and was so damn proud (and the girls who took 1st and 2nd were ridiculously good.. and went on to much bigger things in the gymnastics world)

- When one of my girls that I had coached private lessons for 4 months FINALLY got her back handspring by herself.

- Moving into my own apartment. As I headed to bed after everyone left, I took a look around and had a big smile on my face.. it was my VERY own place!

quesarah · June 2009

I have a few too:

- Moving back to the bay area. I had a realization that I was at home. It was such a good feeling.

- Seeing DH fall in love with Aaron - it brings tears to my eyes thinking of that. So amazing to watch!

linnychanel · June 2009

when i got into college

teambaumer · June 2009

I'm an event planner (owned my own business in SoCal) so when my grandparent's celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary I went all out for them, making sure that they had everything they didn't have for their original wedding. It was a surprise to them. Their reaction was priceless!

we-love-to-try · June 2009

I have a couple...

- walking my DH's dog and realizing I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. It was a summer afternoon and I have no clue what the conversation entailed, but I remember thinking "This is it."

- There was one morning, I was back at work and I remember thinking "I'm doing it. I'm a Mom, I'm working and we eat dinner every night. Holy ***! I'm doing it!" It was something I thought would be difficult and impossible but it's working.

Calikrissy · June 2009

These are the some of the most recent happiest moments...

1. Swimming with the dolphins on our Honeymoon in Jamaica. I had wanted to be a marine biologist or dolphin trainer for years as a child and swimming with dolphins has always been something I have wanted to do. Being able to interact with them, do a dorsal pull and have them push me into the air with a foot push was absolutely AMAZING.

2. SCUBA diving on our honeymoon. Again something that I have wanted to try all my life but was a bit scared to do. I was surprised at how natural it felt and how much I loved it - too bad I can't do it again for awhile now ;P

3. Getting over my fear of rollercoasters wtih my husband (FI at the time). It seems small but opened me up to being more adventurous and trying new things.

4. Last but not least, eventhough I am only 5 weeks along, seeing how connected Matt is with our baby amazes me. He has been brought to tears thinking about it on a few occasions already (and it has been less than a week). He rubs and kisses my belly at night and in the morning to say good night and good morning to the baby - And he worries about being a good dad...silly guy.
