question:
Parent goes to backyard cookout during holidays. Parent tasked with watching a child, instead of all of them at once, while drinking a beer, and loses him/herself in the moment. Children too, enjoyed the backyard cookout.
answer:
I went to a holiday celebration with a backdoor cookout. It was memorable in the sense that it was the first planned outing with my children, who are still toddlers. It's been difficult as a homemaker with my toddlers, especially during the first couple of years. I feel like I sacrificed a lot to personally raise them, and sometimes I still feel ambivalent about my decision to have a family. So to say this was personally memorable, at least to me, might be a bit of an understatement. The part about the holiday party that stood out the most was just sitting in their backyard and drinking a beer straight from the bottle with the sun shining on my face. I was tasked with watching one of my toddlers while my spouse took care of the others. It felt easier with one kid. I think the work multiplies significantly with more children, and I can understand why most parents these days want to stick to one child. Anyway, that moment in the backyard felt relaxing, like something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It was equal parts freedom, and for a moment, it felt like I didn't have any kids at all. I mean, I had one that I was watching at that time, but that fleeting moment felt like a tasty raindrop when you're stranded in a barren hot desert wasteland. My children thoroughly enjoyed the event, despite not really eating the great food. They got to play around with other children that were also there, and they got to see what an actual party with adults seems like. I personally enjoyed it, and wish for more events like that in the future.

question:
I was the Maid of Honor in my best friend's wedding. I stood by her and watched her marry her husband.
answer:
Recently, I was the Maid of Honor in my best friend's wedding. This was a very important day. I had never been in a wedding, let alone the Maid of Honor. I had a lot of responsibilities and was very nervous about walking down the aisle. I know that everyone is looking at the bride but I was still anxious about having eyes on me even for a few seconds. We started our day early in the morning with coffee and hair and makeup. We got our hair and makeup done by professionals and it felt very special. My best friend and I chatted about how today was going to be life-changing. I was super excited for her and her husband-to-be. The time came for the ceremony and I walked down the aisle before my best friend. I watched her walk down and had to hold back tears and ugly crying. I took her bouquet when she took the hand of her soon to be future husband. I listened to their vows and I remember how happy they both were. The time came to exchange rings and say "I do." I handed her her new husband's wedding band and it was a very special moment for all of us. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to.

question:
I returned to school after years of not being in it for a while. Then after all the hardwork I graduated
answer:
Three months ago, I returned to school after not being there for a while. I studied real hard at the college. I met some new friends. We always went partying on the weekend. I always got blasted and puke a lot of the times. It was worth it. I studied to become an engineer. It was tough. The material was very challenging. I had a hard time getting the instructions right for the problems. I studied hard and I graduated. I had a fun time at the graduation. There were many people in the crowd. I waved to all of them. I threw my cap in the air and got my diploma. I hope to get a good job in the coming months.
