- Waiting all day at the hospital for Eiley to be born and then finally getting to hold her.
- That perfect summer day when we went to the beach, rode bikes, got frozen yogurt, and barbecued.
- That random summer night when we tried to pass out sandwiches to homeless people in the Back Bay and got pulled over briefly by a cop because he thought the sandwiches were drug paraphernalia.
- That perfect winter day in Kentucky where we had a snowball fight, drank hot chocolate, watched Faerie Tale theater, and played Scrabble.
- That perfect winter day in Virginia when school was canceled, so Andrew came over for watching HIMYM, kissing, going to the mall, and dinner at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
- Andrew and I sitting on the couch at my old apartment and him telling me that he'd had dreams where we were getting married and I was holding our daughter.
- Late night talks with Robyn Boyd (not any specific ones, but there have been so many that I'm sure I'd have a picture of it in my mind).
- Emmy punching me in the stomach when she was 5 and I was 8 because she was mad at Tiffany (this isn't a happy memory, but it's always been so vivid that I'm sure it would come up at the end of my life).
- Experiencing a huge summer storm while camping in Lake Havasu and watching people try to take pictures of the lightning... then watching them realize how it's next to impossible to take pictures of lightning (this was before digital cameras existed).
- Watching one of the counselors and 2 of the little girl campers at Royal Family Kids' Camp dance to "In Your Presence" by Charity Von.
- I'm sure that I would picture at least one of my fancy birthday dinners with my dad. I think this year will be our 21st year of doing that, so there would be tons of memories to choose from.
- Watching the sunset in Mexico while doing devotions with Andrew.
- Going with Eiley and Emmy to take pictures during Eiley's mini-monthly photo shoots.
- One of those days when Andrew and I go to Busch Gardens and Zaxby's. Those are always wonderful!
- Seeing my dad walk my sister up the aisle and watching Jeff openly weep upon her entrance.
- Vahdan giving me a toast and singing to me on my 28th birthday.
- Going to Haiti with my mom and getting to hold babies at an orphanage there.
- Watching Disneyland fireworks.
- Taking long walks in Newport Beach with various friends.
- Having a HIMYM party on Monday nights at the Canal House and crowding my green couch with a bunch of my favorite people.
- Having a Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad party every Monday with Andrew.
- I'm certain that I would see something random that Emmy had instigated (Scrabble at Downtown Disney, Tabitha's birthday scavenger hunt, various theme parties, etc.).
- The April Fool's Day when my mom almost convinced me that there was an ejector seat in the car or the one where our parents surprised us with a night at the Disneyland Hotel.
That seems to be a lot and I'm sure I wouldn't see all of those things, but it would be great if I did.

i'm happy to have made it into your life flashing :) (HIMYM Canal house parties!)
yaaaay! i love this! and you made me think of several that i didn't include:
-the night we went to big belly deli for dinner and i told you about my first out of the office conversation with jeff and when we returned to the canal house he had sent me a text and we jumped up and down like girly girls.
-that same lightning storm memory. hilarious.
-those same monthly mini photo shoot memories. especially trespassing in norfolk.
-praying with you and your girlz before you walked down the aisle.
-that april fool's day memory. man, our mom is a good liar. :)
Mikkele- I came close to including the night of one of the HIMYM parties when the only food that sounded good was chocolate chip cookies and then you brought over a huge plate of ones that you had baked. I was so happy that you read my mind before coming over that night.
Emmy- The Big Belly Deli night was so much fun, especially after you got the text from Jeff and we had to find something in my closet to make you look cute/casual for your impromptu date with him.
Oh... there are so many things I'll remember about that snowball fight. Like Jenny screaming as if she was in real danger. Or Louis dragging me down the hill. Then him baby crying when we made fun of his Scrabble abilities. That's what sticks out most in my mind :)
