Day 10, my first love

Discuss your first love and first kiss.

Well let's tackle the easier of the two. My first kiss... my first actual kiss to a boy not in my family was a family friend, we were playing hide-and-go-seek, we were 8 years old and we were hiding together in a closet. Terrible, I know. Thankfully we were good kids, and we were only 8, so it was just an innocent peck. I didn't kiss a boy again until I had one of my first boyfriends when I was 15. Even then, that was nothing to shout about. I didn't even see it coming.

My first love, the first person I felt I really loved was a boyfriend in high school. At the time I thought I would marry him, we were together a couple years. But, we are very different people, then and now, and I am glad that it didn't work out between us. We have very different lives, different ideals and beliefs, and we have both found happiness and love with our spouses and children.

What you think love is when you are 15 years old is quite different from what you find love to be as an adult. Thankfully I married a man who embodies the characteristics of love that I need (most of the time ;o)...)

Day 9 - How I envision my future...

How I hope my future will be like..

I could list several material or tangible things I would like to have, or have accomplished in the future. But when it comes down to it, I just want to continue to be happy in the future. I hope that Terry and I continue to enjoy and build our marriage in a loving home. I hope that as my children grow into adults that we can always have healthy relationships. I hope that my kids know that they can always come to me, and talk to me about anything... even when they think I will be upset; because we will always love them and accept them no matter what. I hope that they always realize their potential and that they grow into self assured young people. I hope to live long enough to see grandchildren, and retire with my husband.

No matter where I am or what happens down the road, I hope for those things <3

Days 7 & 8

Day 7: My zodiac sign and do I think it fits my personality

My zodiac sign is Virgo but I don't follow this type of thing at all so I can't say if it fits my personality or not :o)

Day 8: A moment you felt most satisfied with your life

Oh I think that has to be summed up in a few moments, but mostly those moments when you get to hold your children for the first time. It's a very surreal moment, when they place that tiny, warm baby on you and you get to stare at their little face for hours. It's just love. . . I wish I had all 4 pictures on this computer to share, but here are a couple....Ethan and Amber's birth days!
