Name 5 moments in your life so far that you think you will remember into your old age
I've been honestly thinking of this question since last night. It's hard to come up with just five. I've wanted to elimate any negative memories to focus on positive ones.

1. The moment I fell in love with Russ. Or realized I was in love with him. We were playing a board game, and he was just being himself. The same self he still is. lol  He was being funny and witty and talking smack. All of a sudden, it felt like I couldn't breath, and there were all kinds of butterflies going on. In my head, I was like "holy crap. I think I love him."

2. Walking through the building doors into the lobby in my wedding dress about to get married. It was the first time seeing my entire wedding party dressed up together. They were standing in line about ready to walk down the aisle, and they looked amazing. I was running late, and didn't have much time to talk. My hair was still getting bobby pinned. My mom was crying. I had to hide out of sight for when the big doors opened. But the moment I walked into the lobby and saw everyone, despite the whole getting married thing, was my favorite part of the wedding. It was that "wow. this is happening!" moment.

3. Building snow forts with my grandpa in IA. I miss it so much.

4. The time one of my past students really told me I helped him. He had anger issues, and I spent so much time trying to talk him through it. One day he raised his hand in class and took me aside. "Miss Melissa. I did what you said. I was going to get angry, and then I just didn't." It warmed my heart so much to think I can make a difference in a kid's life.

5. When I was a kid and visiting my grandparents in IA, my grandma used to kiss my face all over a billion times before I went to sleep. At that time, I was kind of annoyed, but I really miss it now.
