20 Firsts
1. Who was your FIRST dance date? It was with Joseph to the Valentines dance my sophomore year.
2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? No, I saw him once in the mall since high school. He was from the rival school, Firth.
3. First time you got stitches? Only time I got stitches was when I was swinging on the backs of the seats on the school bus and my hands slipped and I fell flat on my face. I split my chin open and bit 2 holes in my tongue.
4. What was your FIRST job? Moving and hauling pipe with my Dad on the farm, I did get paid. But if you want outside the farm, I worked at the Experiment Station for a few weeks during the summer.
5. What was your FIRST car? My Grandpa Ricks' old car, the red Chevy Lumina a.k.a. the Red Bullet.
6. Who was the FIRST person to text you today? Got rid of my cell phone last week(very sad). I've gotten used to communicating with my Mom and Amber through texting. It just makes it easier.
7. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning? Mom 'cause she woke me up when she called!
8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher? Mrs. Moulton.
9.Where did you go on your FIRST airplane ride? For our honeymoon we went to Disneyland. One of the most terrifying experiences of my life!! I don't like to fly and have only done so once since.
10. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? That is easy ,of course, Amber!! Yes I love hanging out with her and Will whenever we get the chance! I hope they never move.
11. Where was your FIRST sleepover? Probably Amber's but I'm not sure. It could have also been at Jessica's or Brittney's.
12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? Mom then Stephanie
13. Whose wedding were you in for the FIRST time? My own. The one wedding I was supposed to be in as a brides maid was Amber's but didn't get to because I was being life flighted to Salt Lake with our baby James. I'm still upset that I missed her wedding. I wanted to be there so bad.
14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning? Rescheduled my song practice. And tell Callie to go potty.
15. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to? Diamond Rio at Ricks Collage. My Mom got 2 tickets and said if I got good grades I could go with her otherwise it would have been Dallen. Mom should have done that clear through High School, I might have gotten better grades. ( My Mom just reminded me my first concert was to the Beach Boys when I was 2 weeks old!!)
16. FIRST trip to the hospital? Pneumonia in 5th grade. Amber was in the hospital at the same time because of her Appendix. (Different hospital)
17.FIRST Piercing? In 1st grade my ears I kick myself too. I never wore earrings. I think I'm going to make Callie wait until she is 12.
18. FIRST foreign country you've been to? Haven't! Would like to!!!
19. FIRST movie you remember seeing at the theater? No idea! Mom just told me my first movie was E.T. when I was a couple months old.
20. When was your FIRST detention? I never had or went to detention.
I tag all of you FIRST!

What I Wish Everyone Knew
I wish everyone knew that this hurt never goes away. We still need support, and I still need to hear my son and daughters' name. Now, even more than before, I NEED to have their lives validated.
I wish everyone knew ....that even though my babies' deaths were the most painful experience of my life, I am grateful for the pain, and I would still choose to have them even knowing that it would end the same....and I would give anything to cuddle them in my arms again, if only for a brief moment.
I wish everyone knew... that my heart leaps with joy every time someone asks me about my babies.
I wish everyone knew that a baby's age or size at birth or death does not determine to how much of a person he or she was or how much they will be loved or missed.
I wish everyone knew that an early miscarriage and/or losing a tiny baby is just as difficult and painful as losing any other child.
I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about mybabies, and how happy it makes me when someone asks about them.
I wish everyone knew the struggle that I go through everyday to answer the simplest questions, like: How many children do you have?
I wish everyone knew it is ok to talk about my loss.
I wish everyone knew that I think of my babies all the time.
I wish everyone knew that I have completely changed because of my experiences.
I wish everyone knew how much I love and miss my babies.
I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about them and remember them.
I wish everyone knew what it felt like to hold them, still, perfect, breathtaking and have to leave them.
I wish everyone knew what it felt like to long for just 1 more second with their baby. Maybe then they could truly cherish all the billions of seconds they get with theirs.
I wish everyone knew that us mommies who lose our babies carry them with us everywhere we go...for the rest of our lives...and to say we are changed...is putting it rather lightly.
I wish everyone knew and appreciated what an absolute miracle each and every child is, from conception to birth, viable and enviable.
I wish everyone knew that even though I can smile and go to work and "function" like everyone else, I'm not like everyone else.
I wish everyone knew that even if you don't know what to say to me, saying nothing at all is more painful than you can imagine. Ignoring me and never speaking to me again because it makes you uncomfortable to be around me is worse than being uncomfortable or saying the wrong thing.
