The best year...

[MeanLaureen]

I was thinking this would make an interesting topic. If you had to pick ONE YEAR to call the best year of your life, what would it be and why?

I wouldn't pick a specific year (1990, 1995, etc.) but rather the period between Aug. 1, 1991 and Aug. 1, 1992. In that span of time I got married (8/91) , got pregnant (9/91), bought our first house (12/91) and welcomed the birth of DD (6/92). My dad also beat prostate cancer during that time period and has had a clean bill of health ever since.

Gosh, it seems like so long ago now!

I'd have to say 08/99-08/00... that was my first son's first year of life. It was really special. Also I'd have to say, as a close second, 6/97-8/98... the year I lived in Aspen for 3 months, met dh, went to WDW where he proposed, and then got married in Veags. That was quite a year.

I allways like to think the best year is the one I am living in.

This year.

First place would have to go to 2000. That was the year we adopted DD and I finally became a mommy. After all the heartache DH and I went through to finally become parents I can't imagine any year would ever top that. A very close 2nd place would be 1994 when DH and I got married.

2002, specifically July 1st, that was the day my daughter was born and since then every day just gets better.

By far the best year of my life would be 1996. That was the year that I was pregnant (after 10 years of trying) and having my one and only child in June. I loved being pregnant, I loved giving birth and I loved the little bundle of joy that entered my life that year and has captured my heart ever since.

If I were to chose another year it would be 2004 because this year is wonderful, I have a wonderful husband, a wonderful child and I have lost 55 pounds and feel better than I have in years.

It was so hard to not pick a year during my childhood, because those times were so happy - but in the greater scheme of things, 1988 was the best. That year I escaped a horrible relationship and hooked up with my DH - he is definitely my soulmate.

The year I got married (94) should be, but 1997 was my best. Our first child was born in May, it was so exciting, hard, scary, wonderful and life changing, I loved every moment and can't imagine my life without him or our DD (born in 99 and with the exception of her birth, was the worst year of my life - save that for another thread).

I would have to say that 2002 was the best year in the past decade.

I'm sure with what i have, my wife, my kids......with them, I am sure I have not yet reach the best year!
It only gets better!

I'm always hoping that "THIS" year will be the best ever.
