This is usually the time of year that people think about what they are thankful for, who they're thankful for, etc... I started thinking the other day about the most memorable moments of my life. The ones that are good, the ones that are bad, the ones that mold me into who I am, and those that are simply just moments that I remember.
I had someone ask me recently if I had a favorite memory, and what it was. And it was weird because you would think that I would have to think about it really hard, break my life down into categories or something like that. But my favorite memory just came to me. I knew it was a memory to this day that I still hold and cherish, but I didn't know it was so amazing to me.
My favorite memory is actually a memory I have while I was with my first girl friend. We weren't dating at the time, but we both knew that we liked each other and that things were progressing towards a relationship. Anyways, we were both on the set committee for Drama, and so were our siblings. and a few other people. Well we were building these MASSIVE trees for the set that year. They were literally 12 feet or so high, maybe 4 feet wide at the base and 6 feet wide at the top because of "branches". And we were making 6 of these I believe.
Well we would spend all day each saturday at my girlfriends house because her and her sister lived out in the country and they had lots of room for this project. Also because her mom volunteered there house for this escapade! :-P So one of these Saturdays that we were out there, the trees were being sanded, put together, and coming along just beautifully. Well her Mom came out with ice creams bars, ice cream Popsicle, fudge bars, and all kinds of good stuff. Well everyone except me and her grabbed an ice cream bar, but we both grabbed a fudge bar. So the rest of the set crew quickly consumed their treats and were back to work. Well we were still eating our fudge bars, but had to end up eating them while we worked. So our head set guy needed us to lift up one of the trees so it could be assembled correctly, Me and Tabby were the only ones available to lift, cause everyone else had to assemble the tree.
This presented an interesting situation, because there was no place to set down our fudge pops because there was saw dust everywhere. So we had the bright idea, we will just put them in our mouths and hold them there because this should only take a minute..... A minute is a long time whenever you have fudge bar melting in your mouth let me tell you. So we lift it up, and both look ridiculous because we have these chocolate bars in our mouths. We are looking up though and these fudge pops are melting down all over our faces, then we look over at each other with these huge smiles on our faces cause we both know how retarded we look. Well about the time that the chocolate was running down our necks, we got to set the tree down, and as soon as the tree was down, we both fell over on the ground and could not stop laughing. We laughed until we cried and went inside to get towels to wipe off of our faces.
It was so innocent, so pure, and was quite hysterical. It seemed to be a moment when we both realized how much we cared about each other, but from the outside you would never have guessed why.
I remember that moment so clearly. Literally like it was yesterday. I can't tell you how fondly I still look upon that memory even after everything that happened after it.
I do believe that is my favorite memory, and I look forward to the day where I can have a new one, with someone else I love :-)
