Let's share some milestones!

I always enjoy when someone posts a question or comment that allows us to share the joys and milestones WLS allows us. So, I thought I'd ask everyone to share something - this is especially encouraging to pre-ops and struggling post ops. Here's my milestone - two weeks ago my husband and I traveled to New Braunfels, Texas for his family reunion. The reunion is held in a wonderful park that has a pool and a train and other fun things. After lunch it was suggested we all ride the train. I would have had to think fast for a good reason not to ride pre-op because it's a tiny little children's train. This time, however, I got to ride along with everyone else and even had room for my husband's baby neice on my lap. WOW! I got my first pair of capri pants too! (These jiggly thighs will NEVER see a pair of shorts - ha ha) Then, after we rode the train my husband took me over to the swimming pool area and proceded to tell the lady at the ticket counter - "This is my wife and we met on the steps by the lifeguard stand 23 years ago when I was a lifeguard here. Can we go in and have our picture taken there?" I felt like he was proud of me and it was a moment I'll never forget. I don't think it ever would have happened if I hadn't had WLS. I would have been too busy hiding from the sun and the heat and the walking, etc. Life is good. I hope you guys will share some of your milestones and funny or sweet stories. Thanks!
