Monday's MeMe- Most Memorable Holidays

I love Holidays, and I really love Christmas time. So, it isn't any wonder that most my memorable ones are from Christmas...

5. ANY Christmas my brother gets to be here is very special to me! He was in the military for 20yrs, so there haven't been many Christmas's... but I cherish it when he does get to be here!


4. The Christmas I was 13. I got a big really nice stereo for my room. It was awesome! It was top notch at the time! Had a record player, 2 cassettes, radio and hook ups for a CD player! The speakers were about 4ft tall! It was so cool and I loved it!

3. St. Patricks Day 1995. I went to Indpls to visit my friend Cheryl and we went out to a bar called Sports. It was one of the best nocs of my life! Not b/c we were drinking, but just b/c we were having so much fun!


2. ANY Valentine's Day that I get roses! I am not normally big on flowers... but there are some occassions where it absolutely melts my heart if you bring me a rose. Valentine's Day is one of those times! It doesn't count if I have to say "bring me some roses" or if it is forgotten and then you go back and then bring me flowers. It has to be the real deal... I am on your mind, and I get roses!

1. My most memorable holiday was Christmas 1997. Christmas Eve my parents and I had went to Canton for some last minute shopping. After leaving Kirlin's Hallmark, I got in my parents Blazer.... and my water broke! We drove to my aunts house and as soon as I got out of the car, it all ran down my legs. Off to the hospital we went. That was at 3:30p. I got there, got checked in and was only 2cm. Around 5:30p I was throwing up. My mom went to get the nurse b/c she thought I was dilating quickly. The nurse checked and I was a 6cm. I was hanging in there and doing well, not too much pain. I visited with a friend of mine (Nikki Sollo) at 6:30p. I started to get uncomfortable and began requesting pain medication about 7p. By this time I was 8cm!! NO ONE expected me to deliver before Christmas! Everyone started rushing around and the doctor got there just in time for Annalea Ray to make her entrance at 7:37p! We went home Christmas day at 5p! We had to bring her back for her state screening at 8p, but I got to spend Christmas with my family and had a new baby to show off as well!
