1. Graduated High School
2. Start College
3. Get Drunk for the First Time - Growing up my parents often let me taste their wines. I didn't drink in high school and it wasn't until my 2nd year in college I got drunk at a party depressed over a break-up. It was also my first time getting a hangover :P
4. Meet Significant Other - I met Kennis for my first time 2nd semester of our Junior year. We talked for maybe 10 minutes. We re-met at the start of our Senior year and about 2 weeks in we were dating and the rest is history so to speak lol
5. Graduate from College
6. Buy a Car - I didn't have a car in high school (no driver's license in high school even) or college, I borrowed one of the family's when home on breaks only, but post college we moved to Houston and we NEEDED a car. We got terrifically taken advantage.
7. Become Gainfully Employed - I don't count babysitting, summer jobs since they were only a few months of the year (and didn't start until after my first year of college) or the maybe 10 hours a week I worked in Campus Dinning Service/Campus Catering. However, post college I got a real job and had to work the normal 30+ hour work weeks.
8. Get Married
9. Bought a house - We first bought a Co-op with help from my family (our Co-op was not super expensive even by non-NY standards. I think we paid like 26k for it. We sold it and then bought our house, which has now been sold as well while we rent and look for the next place.
10. Move out of Parents house for Good - I'm not counting right after college, because our first year of married life we lived with my parents while searching for a Co-op and then after we sold our Co-op we lived with my parents again for a year. It wasn't until we bought the house we moved out and will not be moving back in. (Though conceivably my parents could end up moving in with us in the future.)
11. Get a Cell Phone - We got one of these when Kennis started to commute to work via bicycle so I could more easily get in touch with him (and he me) in case of emergencies. We were also starting to think about babies though nothing happened on that front until quite a few years later.
12. Get Pregnant - Sometime at the end of January 2011 I became pregnant for my first time.
13. Have Baby #1 - October 2011 my dear sweet Adina. :D
I've never:
Have baby #2
Have baby #3
Have baby #4 (and under no circumstances would I ever have 4 kids unless somehow we decided to have a 2nd and I somehow had triplets heaven forbid.)
Meet who you hoped was your significant other but wasn’t (I dated before Kennis, but I never wanted to marry any of those people. I just wanted to date them and see what it was like being in a relationship.)
Get divorced (I'd like to think this will never happen)
News on the Cookie front. After getting a big scare on Tuesday night when she didn't come down to eat and we had to bring food to her, Cookie has been coming down to remind us she does still want food. For those curious, she won't eat her dry food anymore so she lives on a diet of canned tuna. Not cat canned tuna, but human canned tuna so that at least I can have something kosher in the house. She is eating and is definitely still interested in food. We use to just feed her around dinner time but now feed her on demand, much like the baby. (Though like the baby she sometimes has to wait a couple minutes so I can get things ready... like today I had to put the baby to nap first) I still don't think she has super long since she is very thin and not eating as much as she should, but the immediate danger seems to have passed and I'm hoping we can at least keep her going a little while longer.
