What are some of your proudest moments, othern than weight loss?

Some of mine are:

1. Graduating High School (I know that doesn't sound like a big thing, but in my family, it's a GIANT thing as most of the older folks never got to finish)
2. When my children were born
3. When my grandson was born
4. Every time my dad told me he was proud of me!!!! (gosh I miss him!)

    My daughter represented the United States this fall in the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup in Kentucky-- she was one of six girls selected on the 12 member team playing a junior team from Europe in a 2 day golf match identical to the "real" Ryder Cup-- it was absolutely incredible.

    1) Getting my Master's Degree.
    2) Getting a letter in the mail from a former student who wrote a paper about me when she went to college. They had to write about a person or event who had an impact on their lives. She chose me and I cried like a baby while reading through it. I have it saved in a sheet protector and it means so much to me!

    Well I have to say after my kids being born and my grandkids being born, it would be finally getting off welfare years ago. Praise God. It's something I used to think I'd never be able to do. I get teary just think about that time of my life.
