Moments to relive

Since I haven't gotten any applicants for Prince Charming yet, I'm gonna stop whining and start blogging.

You know when you think of a really good idea for a blog and you are like "I am definitely going to write about that later!" Then later comes and you have totally forgotten what that was. Well I thought of a great idea yesterday and instead of just trying to remember it I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.

I was watching Good Morning America, like I do every morning, while I was getting ready for work and a commercial came on for some bank. I wasn't really paying attention to which one it was. But it showed parents helping their son move into college for the first time. It was very melancholy and slightly sad. The parents walking out hand in hand and the son watching them leave from his dorm room window. That got me thinking about that same experience I had with my Mom. That was a BIG moment in my life. I also was slightly jealous of the guy in the commercial. I kinda wish I could relive that moment again.

Which brings me to the topic of this post. What moments in my life would I like to relive again? What moments were so special that I would like to go back and relive them all over. It came down to 6. There is one I'm not going to write about. Just because it was SO special that if I told the whole wide world, I believe it might loose some of its specialness.

• When I was a sophomore in High School I went to go see The Red Hot Chili Peppers in concert. At the time they were one of my favorite bands. It was a great concert. But the best part about it was when they sang the song "Under The Bridge." They turned all the house lights off in the huge civic auditorium and at this time people still held up lighters (not cell phones) so thats all the light that there was. I think every single person in the audience was singing out loud. So much so that you could hardly hear the band singing. It was an awesome moment!

• The day my mom dropped me off at college for the first time. It was so surreal to walk back up to my room from the parking lot after saying goodbye to her, into my dorm room and think "shit." I guess this is it. I was left alone to fend for myself for the very first time.

• When I was in elementary school I was a girl scout. That's why I am always prepared now for anything. They taught me well. One summer we went camping, if you could call it that. We stayed in a cabin. But it was out in the woods and not in the city. If thats not camping then I dont know what is. Anyway, that night the chaparones decided to take us on a night hike. I dont remember why there were bleachers at the campsite but we walked to the bleachers and sat down. I remember looking up and REALLY seeing the stars for the first time. I was raised in the city where there was light pollution, so stars were few and far between. That night there was seriously a billion stars. Every inch of the sky was covered in stars. I was in awe! It was beautiful. I will never forget that moment.
  

• All I'm going to say about the moment I cant talk about it is that it involved one of the only two guys I have ever loved.

• Seeing my niece for the first time. I couldn't believe my brother/ "dodo head" had a part in creating this beautiful perfect little girl. She was absolutely amazing and still is.

• Last October I got to see my name on the big screen! A film I was the AD (assistant director) for was in a local film festival. Making that movie was one of the funnest times in my life, so seeing my name under the Assistant Director credit was amazing. I cried buckets. Hopefully that moment is something I will get experience again and again during my life. That is my goal anyway. :-)
  

What are the moments from your life would you like to relive again if you could? It doesnt have to be big momentous occasions. Just something that meant a lot the first time and it would be awesome to relive again. What are some moments you could have done without the first time?
