More of a plethora of days throughout my life that were extremely valuable to me.

I still remember my first day of riding lessons. I think I was 6. I met Spike, learned how to brush him, feed him, and started riding that day. That was a big day since as I know I did want to grow up to be a horse.

The day I made Varsity soccer. I had not even started hs yet (a couple days later) and when Meg told me I made the team I was shot to the moon and back. You couldn’t even try to wipe the smile from my face for the next week. It was huge.

In college, the day my roommates and I spent watching the sunset by the lighthouse senior year. We were so content yet trying to keep the real world from coming. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

Also in college, quality time spent with Brett. Your first love is a big deal and we had a lot of fun days. Whether it was relaxing, going to play baseball, dinner… 99% of the time it was filled with laughter. He as my family/home away from home.

Every time I come home to Bridget, Meaghan and Ivy is one of the best days of my life. When we are together it feels like everything is put on hold and everything is right. I could not live a day without one of them.
