10 Unforgettable Moments In My Life

I found a website that gives out random writing promts; you click a button and a question or scenerio pops up for you to answer or talk about. Today I got "What are 10 unforgettable moments in your life?". So here goes!

1. The Christmas when my uncle stopped breathing and we had to call an ambulence. I was sitting outside with him as everyone rushed around putting things away and turning off stoves...He was white as a sheet but manged to gasp out, "Katie, promise me you'll never smoke". I will never, ever touch a cigarette.

2. The first time my boyfriend held my hand, very slowly and nervously as "Endless Road" by Tommy Emmanuel played through our shared earbuds.

3. My family trip to Disney world when I was in elementry school. It was one time when we had nno worries, no fights, no concerns. We just had fun, did everything together and loved each other. We still have some family inside jokes from that trip.

4. My senior trip to Disney world with my best friends! This is pretty self explanatory; what could be more fun that running around "the most magical place on earth" with your best friends?

5. The moments my parents drove away and left me here at college, in Tennessee, 12 hours away from home. I was crying, scared, anxious, unsure and so freaking excited.

6. When my brother was in the hospital with a horrible case of mono. He almost died from it.

7. Atlantic Coast Championships my freshman year of highschool. Basically, this is a big marching band competition for marching band geeks such as myself. It was an amazing experience. We were in an awesome stadium, it was pouring rain and I have never felt so pumped.

8. A few of the conversations I have had with my mom about her past. As I've explained earlier, those are in large part the reason I'm doing what I am. Also, this one night a week before that senior Disney trip that I don't want to go into a lot of detail about...But it let me know I'm doing the right thing.

9. When my doctor told me that I should quit dancing because my ankle was so messed up. I was never a very great dancer, I know I probably never would have had any sort of success with it, but I loved it. I always had this hope in the back of my mind that I could be a dance therapist or something.

10. The one Christmas when I was in elementry school (I can't remember the exact year) when I realized Santa wasn't real. It wasn't a big deal really. I got a bike and kept thanking my parents and they kept trying to tell me it was from Santa. I was just like yeah right, as long as I have my bike I don't care who its from! I know this isn't a huge memory, but since we're in the holiday season it's all good :)

Tell me a few of your most unforgetable memories!
