What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?

This is going to be a theme for a lot of people:

1 tie) The birth of my daughter two months ago. Hard to describe what it feels like to see the little tyke pop out and get placed on my wife's belly.

1 tie) Day I got married.

Other proud/fond moments that don't quite compare, but are still pretty cool:

The day I got a hole-in-one
My honeymoon in Aruba
The 'Skins 22-19 win over Dallas this year - I've been to three Redskins games in my life, and this happened to be one of em.
Graduating from college
Graduating from grad school
Buying my house
The day I the wife and I got our dog. Dogs really are great - immediate member of the family and best friend.
The day when I was 8 years old and caught a foul ball off the bat of Mike Schmidt at a Phillies game.

My wife and I feel the same way about our dogs. We have 2 Basset Hounds, and they make us laugh daily. Great dogs, and totally a part of my family.

Oddly enough, marrying my wife was not the best thing that happened to me at the time. I got there early, and the church was locked, it was 115 degrees outside and I was in a black tux. I turn out to be the best decision I ever made though...it will be 10 years of Marriage in May.

1. Re-dedicating my life to Christ at the age of 20.

2. Marrying my husband. 12 years and still going strong.

3. Meeting Joe Gibbs.

Best sports thing for me was attending the triple overtime Penn State Orange Bowl victory last year, and then taking over Miami with about 100 thousand hooligans afterwards. Also, the Penn State/ Nebraska game in 02 (PSU 40-7, revenge for 94) and the Ohio State game last year were both amazing, just because the town blew it's top. Last year after the OSU game there were probably 5,000 people in white shirts in Beaver Canyon just raging. Third would be the Skins/ Dallas game last year. Actually, it sucks to say but I don't really have too many great sports memories after the age of 11, when the Skins won their last superbowl. But, let me say this here, watch the f out for Penn State and the Skins next year.
