Things worth doing

If you haven't guessed already, I'm kind of a blog addict. I post here just about everyday, sometimes multiple posts in a day. I read a plethera of other blogs as time permits and am inspired by them. Today on Mighty Girl is a list of the first 25 of "100 Things Worth Doing" which appear to be her very best memories of her life. Amazing things! If you had to list 100 things worth doing that had happened in your life, what would it include? It's harder than you think. Off the top of my head, I can do an easy 20 probably but it'd require some heavy memory exercises to come up with more. If you know me, you know my memory is about on par with a goldfish. Here's what I've come up with so far:
1. Hearing the words "Marry me"
2. Reading the graffiti at Strawberry Fields
3. Playing hookey from work to spend the day like a kid at Six Flags
4. The first shower after a 19 hr. labor with mango scented bath gel - thank you Mommy-in-law!
5. Crying the first time I held each baby
6. Sitting on my back porch when I was 14 and seeing individual snow flakes fall on the steps in perfect detail
7. Watching the sunrise in Ocean City with my best friend and some Dunkin’ Donuts
8. Mia's baby bathtime as she just stared at her reflection in the mirror in awe and joy
9. Layla singing along to "Layla"
10. Having both of my Grandpa's at my wedding before they passed away from cancer
11. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches made by my Grandma at the beach
12. Crying at my sisters' graduations
13. Sean's first ride on Space Mountain
14. Mia's first day of school
15. The first time he said "I love you"
16. Seeing that pink line with wonder - "it's faded but it's there, does it count if it's faded???"
17. Seeing that heartbeat on the monitor
18. Chuck reading Stephen King to me while I drove to TX
19. Seeing mom cry as she held each new grandbaby
20. Watching Tom & Sharon dance and knowing I'd found the one
