Do you ever wish?

That you could transport yourself back in time, just for a day or two before marriage and kids? Not to change anything, but to just relive those moments in your life? What times would you choose? For me: college days right after I met DH after he was home from his first deployment.

I honestly wouldn't trade my life right now for the world but sometimes I wish I could go back to that time, b/c it was simpler. Even though DH was deployed a lot and I was going through grad school, I still miss it sometimes. Going out on a whim, sleeping in, traveling, being spontaneous! Weird? IDK, I'm in a funk right now. Just curious.

    Not weird, at least not for me.  Sometimes I really miss going out alone, even just a mile up the street to the grocery store.  I never did much traveling but I wish I had!  And I keep thinking that someday I'll sleep in again :)

    Oh man, to go back to college for a day or two, when we would drop everything at a moments notice just to drive 2 hours to go to Canada, or go out every single night of the week, and sleep in till 11am and take naps every day. Everything was funny, and we had a blast. And I loved right after I graduated and I had a FT job and worked with a couple friends and we would go out to happy hours. Apparently a lot of my fun times revolved around wine and late nights haha.

    I don't have kids yet, so I know I should take advantage our our free time now, which we do. However, I always say I would love to go back to college just for a week. It totally was a simpler time- three hours of class a day, ridiculous times with best friends, going out all the time. And to think we all thought it was tough back then!

    Our LO isn't here yet, but I totally wish I could go back and visit "young me" for a bit.  Care-free, careless, reckless, wild, and just plain fun!  Downright obsessed with running, surfing, skipping school and hanging out at the beach every day, using Disney like my own personal playground, going out dancing until 3am... really living it up.  I also miss my time in the military... a total crazy whirlwind that really made me who I am.  Living on the edge (this is going to sound totally nutso, but) the exhilleration and the heart pounding adrenaline rush of being in life-or-death situations... there are many days where I miss that feeling.

    I miss young me sometimes.

    If I could choose one single moment to go back to, I would actually want to re-live getting engaged.  The butterflies, the "holy crap, this is realy happening", the surprise.  I LOVE a good surprise and the fact that I didn't see it coming was the best thing ever, I would love to slow it down and re-live it one more time... soak it all in.  My wedding day was pretty great too, but I spent months and months planning that.  There is just something about surprises... just awesome.

    Yes.  I love my children more than anything but there are days I wish I could go back to a less carefree time.  It would be when we lived in Fairfax and traveled, and ate at awesome restaurants for no reason, and went out to wine festivals and stayed up late and had breakfast in bed.

    Yes. absolutely 100% yes- just for a day... sleep in, run any errands I wanted to without packing for 30 mins, go out to a nice dinner and then make the last minute decision to go to a movie after, come home to a nice clean quiet house...

    THIS! 

    Not to mention, being able to leave the house without having to chase a toddler around the house with a jacket, mittens and a hat...and to not be late to everything all the time.  I hate being late and recently, I always am.

    I'd go back to our honeymoon. Drinking all day, sleeping in, eating decadent food, laying on the beach, swimming in the ocean. Just DH and me having fun together. No one else. we also had no phones, email, TV, etc. It was awesome. Totally disconnected from the world. I'd love to go back for a day or two...but then I'd miss my girlies! :)

    There's a lot of reasons I wish I could go back in time to do things differently.  But just to go back and relive it...I'd love to go back and relive my sophomore year of college, living with my best friends.  It was such fun and I miss them so much.

    Oh yes, this would be heavenly!  We're already planning on going back to our honeymoon resort for our 10 year anniversary.  So what if I have to wait 5 years?  I can dream until then. 

    The thing I really miss is our lazy Sundays.  We usually went out on Saturday nights so Sundays we wouldn't even get out of our pajamas.  We'd sleep in, eat whatever we wanted, watch football (or random TV and movies) and just doze on and off all day.  Sometimes we still have those kind of days but they're just interspersed (sp?) with toddler and baby stuff and not nearly as relaxing.  Now I feel guilty for doing nothing b/c there's always something to do!

    oh gosh, YES!

    I would go back to right after I bought my house, around the time DH and I got engaged... so like 22-23 years old. We used to go out for happy hour every Friday night, nice dinners out on Saturday, stayed in bed all day Sunday.
