A vivid memory.
Hmm... I have several vivid memories. To me, those are the turning points in my life, the moments when I know I need to change or when I realize I have changed. Sometimes they are moments of loss or grief. Other times they are of pure joy. Here are two that will always stick out in my head:
1. When I knew a new chapter in my life was about to begin.
This was three years ago. I had been thinking recently around this time that I needed change in my life and it wouldn't happen until I had the strength to break up with my horrible boyfriend. It was a terrible relationship and I was too scared to end it. I was a nanny/babysitter for a family with three kids and I was sitting out on the porch watching them play outside. I got a phone call while I was out on that porch that day that I couldn't say was anything less than a miracle. Our relationship was finally over and I was so so so relieved. I remember just thinking that God had done something for me that I couldn't have done for myself and I am forever grateful for that day and that moment.
2. When I fell in love with Jose.
I remember this like it was yesterday. We had been dating a little over a month and were at OU/TX sitting on the gigantic ferris
wheel at the Texas State Fair. He leaned over and kissed me and it was
just so adorable and sincere that I knew right then we would be together
for a long time. Oddly and funnily enough, we didn't drop the L-bomb
until January. Hah!
