Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen of the Most Memorable Days of My Life 1. The day I was saved. The most important decision I ever made. 2. The day my mom and dad told me I was going to have a little brother. I don't remember every detail of this day because I was very young, but I remember mom, dad, Crystal, and my Grandma and Grandpa Smith being there. I also remember thinking, "What's so great about that?" I eventually learned! 3. My first day of kindergarden. I was really small for my age then, and this other little girl in my class who looked ginormous because she was like a foot taller than me picked me up. Kind of scary. 4. The first day I rode a roller coaster. I rode The Vortex at Carowinds. After that my addiction to them wouldn't be stopped. 5. The first day of my first job ever. I cried. Seriously, I worked at a food place, and they trained me on a Friday night. I got so much stuff wrong, and I was scared they'd fire me. They didn't, and I learned everything and got to the point I could handle Friday nights easily. 6. The day I went bobsledding in Schroon Lake, NY. I went on my Senior Trip. One of the funnest things I've ever done. 7. The day I had my appendix out. This wasn't the funnest day, but I remember it was a Sunday, and half my church came to see me after the morning service. My best friend Josh tried to make me laugh. I still haven't gotten him back for that. If you ever have to be cut open to have your appendix out, don't laugh, trust me! 8. The day of my high school graduation. Of course this was a pretty important day to me. I was the Salutatorian, and I had to make a speech. Where did that brain go? 9. The day I surrendered to God about His will for me to be a writer. 10. The day I swallowed a watch battery. Don't ask, just know that this was a very embarrassing day. And I'm thankful I didn't die! 11. The day that I had to have chiari decompression surgery (a surgery on my brain). Okay, well I only remember like half of this day because I was drugged for half of it, but I remember distinctly that my brother hugged me and wouldn't let me go and told me to come out of there. I also remember that it was at this point that I started crying...A LOT! 12. The day that my niece was born (January 28, 2004) and the day my nephew was born (August 5, 2005). I can't remember life without these two cuties! 13. The day my dad had to have chiari decompression surgery. God was so near to us that day! Other Thirteens. Leave your link, and I'll post you here!
