memory moments... moments like these... you know, the kind that you want to multipy by a million and make last forever? here are mine ~
{1} my 9th birthday. i remember it like yesterday. it was the last birthday i had with my dad before he died of cancer.
{2} the day i became mrs. graham.
{3} staring into the eyes of a newborn. my newborn.
{4} treading through deep waters but never being so desperate for the Lord's presence.
{5} the first night home from the hospital with hunter. we were clueless... felt helpless. he cried all night long. but yet, we were parents and adored our child to pieces.
{6} finding out that my grandpa was cancer free after he was given {maybe} 6 months to live.
{7} when hunter first slept through the night at 8 weeks. sleep never felt good. and long.
{8} finding out that i am going to have a daughter.
what is one of your memory moments?

SO sweet Carissa! My most recent one would have to be finding out I'm pregnant! yes, it definitely changes your life! But I can't wait! :)
love reading your memories, so beautiful.
Giving birth to my son and daughter...i remember it like it was yesterday.
Beautiful! One of my memory moments is when my brother, Sam, was born, and we all piled into the car on this warm, summery day, in shorts, and headed off to the hospital in shifts (my aunt stayed with my younger siblings and my dad took my sister, Chloe, and I. Then we came back and the other half went). I just remember popping open that car door and the feeling of plaid shorts against my skin. ;-)
Love & Blessings,

Those are all such great memories! I remember that first night home with my oldest too:)
Our wedding day is definitely one of them. Very sweet :)
Wow. I see I need to grab a cup of coffee and read those memories. Thanks for sharing.
Oh you almost made me cry! That was beautiful... I think my most vivid memory was when my husband told me he loved he. I can still feel his nervousness from that moment today!
sweet post. brought tears to my eyes.
I love these memory moments!! One of mine is marrying Tyson :)
Love this post and the verse is a perfect fit. Did you base the post on the verse or the verse on the post?
My memory is of my wedding day marrying my best friend.
What a beautiful list!
Your blog always seems to inspire me lady <3
What an awesome list! I am so glad we are friends! I lost my daddy when Kelcee was 5 mths old to a sudden Heart Attack! I love your memory moments! Sooo special and sweet!
I would have to say my memory moment would have to be after 2 1/2 years of trying we found out we were pregnant with KELCEE!!
xoxo
Summer :0)
Our first night home with Logan was the same way, I came so close to just giving him the formula so I could get some sleep. Congrats on having your baby girl! How exciting.
My favorite memory is marrying my husband and the first time I looked into my newborn's eyes.
such a sweet post! bringing home a baby from the hospital sounds so scary sometimes!
Carissa,
What a lovely post!!!!!!!! Mine is looking at my precious baby daughter 21 years ago when she was born. I had suffered three miscarriages...two at over 5 months. She was truly a miracle baby!
What a great post! Wow, this might take some thinking on my part...
What a sweet post! I have so many- I like to enjoy the little things like the look on the kids faces when we went and got our free Rita's Ice on the first day of spring. Swedish fish flavor FTW =)
this is such a sweet post!!!
lets see...mine would be my wedding day and graduating from college!
You are such a sweet person! Thank you for that post!
I love the pictures of when you had your baby! How do you look so cute after giving birth?!! I need your secret.
These are great memories. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite memory was the day I had Gracie. Everything about it. I loved the birthing process. being in the hospital with a new baby. Everything. My husband and I both agreed that it was better than our wedding day. ;)
This is so sweet!
One of my favorite memories is of our first family vacation. I remember like it was yesterday the sight of my then 2 year old walking towards the ocean hand in hand with her dad.
My wedding day was definitely a huge one. Love your list!
Awww, I love hearing about your memories!
aw!! i love love love memories! they are just so precious! and your memories are simply wonderful!
thanks for reminding to take some time and think about all the loving memories i have!
this post warms my soul!
so sweet, I think I would have gone crazy if my first cried her first night home...may have tried to take her back ;)
both of ours slept all night long their first night...the rest they spent up crying,lol
Awww! I really like this post. I cannot wait to go back and read those posts! Hope you are having a nice week sweetie!
I love memories like this. The ones that no matter how many years go by... you can picture every detail like it was yesterday. I would have to say my wedding is one of them! :)
Those are some really touching memories! Some of my favorite memories are surviving a tornado, a real live encounter with a bear in the wilderness, my first time skinny dipping, and hugging strangers under the confetti rain at a Polyphonic Spree concert!
Definitely my wedding day, well and the day I found out I was pregnant. THat one will definitely always stick in my mind.
aw i love your moments of memory!! :))
Thanks for sharing those with us!
I have a few...
*My 18th birthday - my parents threw me a surprise party. I was VERY surprised!
*Looking at my daughters for the first time. I didn't know my heart could love so much. I think about how deeply I feel for them and consider that the Lord loves me even more. Wow!!!
*My wedding day. I love him even more today!
this post is so sweet!!
i can still remember the day that we brought zoe home from the hospital. i couldn't believe that she was finally here. i think that i stayed up most of the night just STARING at her.
What a fun post!
So many of you posted about the wonderful memories of your wedding day ... well, I just have to share. I had a 104 temp on my wedding day, and threw up on the pastor's shoes during the prayer time. :) Not such a great memory.
Then ... the babies.
Each and every baby's birth is such a miracle. My 10th miracle 8 years ago, was no less special than my first, 25 years ago.
One of my "bringing baby home" memories was when we brought our twins home, and our "older" kids were just 2, 3, 4. I had 5 babies under 5 years old and I had no idea how I was going to survive. (We had NO involved family or close friends, nor a supportive church family.) But ... we not only survived ... we went on to have baby #6 just 18 months later.
blessings,
Laurel
Such a sweet post! I think I have a million of them, and every day I add to that list. Just yesterday I came home from Bible Study and Halle snuggled up on my lap and said 'Miss you, momma'. Melted my heart! Happy Tuesday!
such beautiful memories!!! and #6?!?!? wow!!! lovely post!!
Oooo...I think my best memory right now is watching Z be born. Probably because it's the most recent, my wedding was pretty amazing too! :)
What precious memories! I can't imagine how hard it must have been to lose your dad at only nine, though. So glad you have a lovely memory to cherish forever.
I'll never forget the day I was told that there were two heartbeats in my womb! Talk about a shocker!
Carissa, so beautiful ...for some reason this brought tears to my eyes...maybe because I can relate to most of them.
My wedding day was seriously the best day of my life....until my baby was born. You never forget the moment God makes you a parent.
What a beautiful blog!!! What you have to say is incredible. So happy I found this blog of yours!! XO
It's so good to look back and remember!
One of my favorite memories is my thirteenth birthday. It was one year after the accident in Mexico, and I did not want to celebrate. Well, some of my friends heard me say that, and they threw me a small surprise birthday party. Looking back, I can't believe other 13 year old girls thought about that. It was super sweet!
brad and i closed on our house at like 2 in the afternoon but it took hours (i had a bad agent!)so it was too late to move anything in that day. we got our sleeping bags and slept in our new bedroom. it was so sweet.
This is beautiful. My most treasured memory would have to be the day I moved in with my mom. A lot lead up to it, and when the day finally came it was like a 39382498 pound weight was lifted off my shoulders.
What a great post...so touching and personal! Great proof of how big your heart is!
This is such a sweet post! Brought some memories back to me that I have. You are an awesome blogger. You help me to remember what matters most. I love coming here to visit! Thank you!
giving natural birth to 3 of my 4 kids...feeling life coming into the world like that....amazing! can't wait to do it again!
What a great post! I'm so impressed that you consider your first night home with your babe one of those moments! I know it's cliche, but my #1 would definitely be the birth of my baby boy. It was truly amazing for me.
aww i love that (im so typing in lowercase just for you)
aww.. all of these just made my heart melt. :)
There is nothing quite like staring into the eyes of the bambino you made with your soulmate!
this is a sweet post! it makes me want to post something similar!! gosh, thinking back to the first night with my little girl...ughhh! we were all so new to each other.
love this! what precious memories. I enjoyed reading some of your past posts I hadn't come across yet, being a newer reader. What a beautiful family you have!
The first thing that came to mind was both of my sons births. Very memorable- mostly in a good way : )
carissa!!
oh, but the dress DOES come in maternity! :)
Beautiful moments!
I love the day I became Mrs. Stewart!!! These are great moments. Thanks for sharing!
Btw... Sephora has great online shopping as well. Plus, you get lots of samples with your order!!
I always seem to be around the 56th. person to comment... funny! Just wanted to say that I liked the memory of you becoming a Graham! Love you!
My memories are much like yours - marriage, baby, etc. I need to blog my memories like you did - some people have been on my mind so much here lately and I need an outlet!
The birth of my sons, my 2 favorite memories. The first night home with baby, now like you said that's a memory.
seeing both my daughters smile at me and say good morning each and every day :)
when Josh asked me to marry him...
Giving birth to my 3 children. It doesn't get any better than seeing them for the first time.
Very sweet!!! My memories that I don't want to forget is the sound of my kids little laughs.
