I have several possible answers, but I think I'm guilty of forgetting the not-so-great stuff from those periods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far/page/2#post-1137054 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:09:43 +0000 littlecasita1122 1137054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was happiest during my senior year of college, specifically the last semester. Probably because that's when I started dating my husband! I had a great social life in college and miss it, I don't see friends as often as I'd like to now. But since having my LO I certainly feel more fulfilled than I ever have - like I actually have a purpose in life and I'm doing something rewarding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far/page/2#post-1136900 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:28:30 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1136900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now. I have almost everything I ever wanted. My degree, a job in that field, my amazing husband my two adorable pups, an house and the most amazingly perfect baby girl. Yep. Right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far/page/2#post-1136899 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:28:25 +0000 teamjse 1136899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last 14 months of our life to current have been amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136895 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:24:36 +0000 JoJoGirl 1136895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh. So many to pick from :) in general all the times in my life I've been traveling have been the happiest. But I guess recently, the first year with Dh! We took 3 big international trips our first year of marriage and just generally settled into a happy life together. It's pretty much sucked since LO arrived, not gonna lie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136855 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:54:11 +0000 deactivated_account 1136855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DH and I were 20 and 21, respectively. I lived by the beach while in college and he came and stayed with me more nights than my roomates were happy with. We walked to the main street twice a day. We ate out. I snuck into bars. We just, on a whim, decided to go to Australia for a month! We both had school; I worked, he played baseball. But we were the most carefree we will most likely ever be in our lives. "Carefree" is the key word there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136813 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:34:53 +0000 chopsuey 1136813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last 9 months-now! :)<br /> Life is GOOD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136811 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:33:26 +0000 shinymama 1136811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thus far it would definitely be right now.</p> <p>Dream status: :bfp: our forever home and :bfn: the teething.

I was working horrendous hours but I was living in nyc with most of my best friends around, living alone, and I was on cloud 9 with our new relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136791 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 16:26:07 +0000 MsMamaBear 1136791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, besides my job.LOL I have a nice home and I have Baby Bear, who makes every day so much better. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136607 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:32:17 +0000 78h2o 1136607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I feel the same way... being a mom has been better than I ever imagined (and I always wanted to be a mom), but DH's mental health has been crap and our relationship has been crap, so... yeah. Very much a year of lots of highs and lots of lows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136597 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:28:12 +0000 mamimami 1136597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My year studying abroad when I was 16. Every day was just THE BEST and I knew it. I think it's rare that you realize how awesome a time is when you're in the middle of it, but I was totally conscious of that at the time. I have had many wonderful times of my life! But I think my youth and innocence were what made that one year so great. Right now is pretty good but it's more of a mixed bags now that I'm an old married mommy with lots of wordly concerns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136543 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:11:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1136543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 5 months ago? Baby Brother was a couple months old and sleeping really well, summer, seeing friends and family, just lots of great stuff. Now would come in second or third place- I think that if I was sleeping through the night then it might come in first! I'm hoping that in a couple of months present moment will again be first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136529 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:07:06 +0000 bhbee 1136529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>even though we didn't sleep a ton I'd say the two weeks after LO was born and husband was able to stay home. she was an easy newborn and we lived in this blissful bubble - no work, no external family visiting, just our new family of 3.<br /> she is a lot more fun now of course, but more tiring too, and we have work stresses to deal with. so now is still good, but not that happy little bubble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136527 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:06:58 +0000 Lindsay05 1136527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can not believe how many people say right now. That is so great :)</p> <p>For me, I say I was the happiest in my first year of marriage and when I was pregnant with LO #1. DH and I pretty much never argued or bickered. Now it is ALL THE TIME. Not to say that LO ruined it, but it has definitely came with a lot of challenges. I would never give up my LO for anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136519 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:06:02 +0000 cascademom 1136519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say our first two years of marriage. We just bought our house, had lots of dinner parties, parties, lots of fun nights. It was extremely carefree and fun. Also, MIL pretty much left us alone which was really nice. During LO's first year has been difficult for so many reasons. The more that I talk to people, I keep hearing that the first year with an LO is tough on the marriage. I'm hoping that we won't have another tough year for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136508 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:02:38 +0000 Boheme 1136508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its hard to say. I think I would definitely pick the DH's and my proposal and engagement period. We were SO happy and excited about our future. I feel awful saying that since our LO was born this year, but his birth and newborn weeks were also extremely stressful. Now we are so happy, but so tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136504 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 15:02:11 +0000 Cherrybee 1136504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really really wish I could say right now - I feel like I should, especially since most of you have said right now. But it's hard. DD is the love of my life but by God is this hard work; she's not a super happy-go-lucky baby. DH and I are arguing, I miss hanging out with my BFF (we both have babies and haven't seen each other for over a month).... I'm pretty glum right now. </p> <p>The happiest time of my life was when I was 23. I was looking the best I've ever looked and I lived with a good friend who was just so much fun. I was out pretty much every night (I drank far too much that year), dated a lot and just felt fantastic. It was a great year. </p> <p>The few months after I met DH were also pretty amazing. We were so, so in love. I remember him saying to me that he hated having to let me go in the morning (when we had to go to work).... I wish we were still like that. Maybe we will be again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136492 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:58:05 +0000 lilteacherbee 1136492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now! 2012 was a really rough year and I think that has made me appreciate this year even more. I'm so happy and excited to meet our son next month! DH and I are better than ever and our families seem to be happy as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136482 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:55:36 +0000 MrsKoala 1136482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely now! I have had the best two years of my life recently and it just keeps getting better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136481 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:55:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 1136481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. On one hand, the past year with LO, for sure. But it's also been a time of extreme hardship for my relationship. So kind of torn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136473 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:53:08 +0000 dolphin 1136473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now. Our family is healthy and we laugh together daily. What more can I ask for? Life is sweet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136421 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:39:47 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1136421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we got married and our first year of marriage. </p> <p>Life is pretty good now, minus TTC stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136286 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:06:28 +0000 yellowbird 1136286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now!!!!!!! The first year of DDs life was hard, but now she sleeps through the night, both my husband and I are working, and our relationship gets better everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136226 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:49:43 +0000 lawbee11 1136226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now! DH and I are doing really well and watching my LO change and grow every day just makes my heart want to burst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136222 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:46:30 +0000 bushelandapeck 1136222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the year we got married and I was pregnant with LO was the best for my relationship with DH so far. Personally, I have never been happier than I am since LO arrived and I cannot imagine life without him. We definitely still have our struggles and moments where we wish we could be more care free, but I know we wouldn't change it for the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136201 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:39:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 1136201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: sleep will come eventually..! and it is LIFE CHANGING!!! I swear, before and after STTN is like night and day... pardon the irony. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136198 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:38:25 +0000 Littlebit 1136198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, right now. With the exception of TTC (which sucks), things are going really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136194 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:37:50 +0000 mrs. bird 1136194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DH &amp; I were first seeing each other. I was living alone, having lots of fun, there was a lot of bad stuff going on, but looking back, I just remember how much fun I was having &amp; how happy I was with the direction I was going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-been-the-happiest-time-of-your-life-so-far#post-1136193 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:37:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1136193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say our first year of marriage as well. We were incredibly happy and saving for our first house. We're still incredibly happy, especially now that we have LO...but our lives have been a giant rollercoaster starting about 3 years ago with my miscarriages, LO being born and in the NICU for a short period of time and my 3rd miscarriage recently. We both know how incredibly lucky we are to have each other and LO, but we've had our share of heartache lately. </p>
