As my kids were running around the house this morning, getting under our feet, bickering with each other and screaming the classic "HE STARTED IT!!", I thought, "Oh, dear God, when does it END??"
So let's escape and hold on to the nights of yesteryear...
If you could relieve any year of your life in exactly the same way (no changes!!), which year would it be?

no doubt about it. i would relive my senior year of college. hands down, it was the best year of my life.*
*disclaimer: i'm not saying that the births of my children were of any less importance. i'm just saying that i had an amazing time that year. that's all. please no flaming.
I can't pick just one answer, sorry.
16: I'm sure my friends and mother would take issue with this, but for all of the emotional turmoil that wreaked havoc that year, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Like Grandma in Parenthood said, "I like the rollercoaster!"
23: This was our first full year of being married and we had no idea how good we had it! I mean, we had a line item in our budget for "books" for cryin' out loud. Sigh. Those were the good ol' days. Oh wait... I would change one thing... I would have walked over to Great America after work on occasion, ridden one ride and then came home -- just because I could!
I would also relive our first year of marriage, for the same reasons T-Pea mentioned. How simple life was in 1997...
I would also relive 1991. I spent the last part of my senior year in high school as an exchange student in Germany, and would love to relive those days. Then, the first part of my freshman year in college was quite an experience as well -- one that I'd also love to relive.
I don't think I can relive any year of my life w/o any changes. Don't get me wrong... I am thankful for the experiences (good and bad) but there are no years that make me wish for the good ol' days, minus those when I was a child, and I don't think that's what tpea is going for. If I *had* to choose, I'd actually say the last year... I'm still learning and growing up, and it has taught me a lot about life and myself.
But... (of course there's a but)
Since I can't recall one year, I choose to think that's b/c it hasn't happened yet. Maybe the best is yet to come for me. That's the hope I want to hold on to :)
T pea reminded me to respond...I got out of the habit over the holidays...
I would relive my second year of college. First year was hard (I was homesick, gained 25 lbs., etc.) But the second year was just flat out fun!!! I started dating my husband that year, had a really good time and still passed all my classes. I didn't realize how much free time and freedom I had at that point in my life...sigh.
I don't mean this to be cheesy at all, but I don't want to relive any years of my life. Too many of them were a trainwreck! The best of my life is still to come!
But if you had to pin me down and make me do one of them I would have to say my senior year in high school. Tons of drama, but then again, I was in the drama club!
All of my college years....If I had to pick one of the years....I guess it would be my senior year. I lived at Jackson's and loved every minute of it.....
Andrew...you were the best little door holder ever your freshman year. I can fully understand how it was a time to remember. :)
