I Have a Question for Y'all

So the MS agency asks us to answer 4 questions (that I forgot to answer and put with the application when I mailed it this morning...GRRRR) Anyway, I'm having a really hard time answering 2 of the questions, so I'm putting them out there for y'all to comment on. Please be honest. I don't want to avoid answering the questions, but I just can't answer them with a simple, short and sweet answer.

1. The happiest memory you have from your married experience.

To be honest, I don’t think I can capture just one of the happy moments in our marriage and deem it the “happiest” moment. But I have to say that Jon and I have been able to take many different vacations throughout our time together, and the thing that I will always remember from each of those vacations is the freedom to get away from work, and life in general, and let the stresses melt off our shoulders. It’s amazing how much easier it is to connect with one another when you don’t have all the responsibilities of life to worry about. Jon and I love traveling together, not just because of the fun we have, but because of the opportunities they gave us to get away and really concentrate on each other.

2. A memory which you would like to forget from your present family life.

I’m having a really hard time answering this question because obviously there are things in my life that I wish would have happened differently, but to say that I’d like to forget them is really hard for me. I think everything that happens in life happens for a reason. And it may not go like I would have liked or would have planned if I were the one in charge, but I think that the good and bad experiences in life have molded me into the person I am today. I think that I’m stronger because of the difficult moments. Even the moments when I lost our two babies are moments that I want to always remember. I want to remember the hurt and the grief because it reminds me how strong I was, when at the time I felt like I was all alone and crumbling inside. And it reminds me of how much closer it brought Jon and me, both spiritually and emotionally. But more than anything it reminds me that my God can give me the strength and comfort to get through ANY circumstance, and that He understands my pain more than anyone on Earth.
