Waking up not alone for the first time.

When i got a case of the giggles during my wedding ceremony

Anytime I smile. It's a great smile

one perfect moment in my life is when me and my dads side of the family were all sitting around a camp fire over the summer. We all sit around talk and tell jokes. (and of course eat smores)

Definitely the moment I got my acceptance letter from college last fall- simply amazing.

One time I accidentally stapled my finger. That would be pretty quick.

Life is filled with so many perfect moments. My most important seconds that I want to record right now are with my 16 month twin girls Kate and Annie. The loves of my life. Second by second these moments fly by never to be repeated exactly alike again.

The perfect moment of my life to make into a one-second film would be... my first sexual experience I guess...

Flawless slumber

My perfect moment from my life would be the first cries I heard when my twin boy and girl were born.

A second of film = 24 frames. It would be 12 frames of the first time I saw my oldest daughter and 12 frames of the first time I saw my youngest daughter. Perfect.

my entry into the world.

Conception.

this is a fantastic question.......when my son first laughed really hard for the first time, I guess he would have been about 5 months old. I would say when he was born, but I was too stressed out.

My first and only skydive from a moving airlane. It was a great experience to conquer a fear by taking a risk. Then I would watch my 1-second film every morning when I first wake up.

O' Were that the camera were rolling when the Tar Kettle burst into flame engulfing me in a 10 ft' ball of instant sunburn blaze orange translucent flame, one lock of hair singing its way toward my scalp like a fuse, the polyester bandana melted and frozen into a protective helmet for the rest of my hair...all in about 1 second.

It would have to be a smile.

My perfect life moment happened only a couple months ago. I spent the semester travelling through Northern India with some other students. We stayed in an orphanage for 2 weeks and were encouraged to engage the children in English, so a friend and myself decided to put on a musical. We made up a fun show based on the Mario Brothers which incorporated easy American songs. The show was eventually performed in front of the entire school that the children attended. It was a huge success and I realized just how much I had come to care for these kids in only 2 weeks. But just as the kids were finishing their bow, the woman in charge of the orphanage declared that the directors (me and my friend) were now going to perform a song. We didn't know what she was talking about and my friend promptly ran out of the room leaving me alone. I had no idea what to sing. I picked a song from the Broadway show Wicked that I had just performed for my Grandmother's 80th birthday: For Good. I only chose it in the moment because I knew all the words, but as I sang, I realized just how pertinent the words were:" it well may be, that we may never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part. so much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart." it was wonderful

The first time one of my very autistic students used his words and asked for an apple

The moment my son opened his eyes and looked up at me
