In each of our lives we have defining moments. Events that trascend time and leaving an imprint on our inner being. Both good and bad, these defining moments change your life forever.

Graduating from law school, the death of my beloved dog Shellee, being on my first winning political campaign, successfully marrying my dear sister off to an unsuspecting nice guy, the Seahawks 1984 AFC Championship Game loss to the LA Raiders, finding out that MacGyver was made for TV, not a real person.

We all have had such defining moments. Cherish them. Even the bad ones. For defining moments are the mile markers of your life.
