12 Biggest Firsts in Your Life: Where are you?

#1 First grandchild

Becoming a grandparent is unforgettable for its significance in your life and the lives of those you love and hold close to your heart. When you've reached this step, it'll not only be one of the most loving memories, but also the proudest ones you will have.

#2 First child

Welcoming a little one into your life is one of the greatest moments anyone can dream of having, and it's surely one you never forget. Whether it's the dramatic experience of giving birth in the style of Hollywood movie scenes or adopting a child, you'll always look back fondly and retell the story over and over again.

#3 First apartment

Whether it's your first apartment in college shared with three other roommates, or it's your first apartment in a big city when you start your career, you will recall the details of that apartment that frustrated or delighted you at the drop of a hat. Whether it's the extremely audible family next door or that little balcony that afforded you a view of the city, you'll always remember it.

#4 First year

Your first year as a married couple is often referred to as the "honeymoon period". You'll share many firsts during this year as you and your better half take on life together, embarking on a journey that will last a lifetime.

#5 First love

The first love of your life is likely a great one, and whether or not it works out, you'll never forget the person that truly stole your heart, lit up the room whenever he or she walked in, and drove you mad in the best ways possible.

#6 First vote

he first time you rock that vote is an indication of your individual contribution to our society and how you've exercised the personal liberties awarded to us by our Founding Fathers.

#7 First job

Your first job out of school is the one that often encourages you to further develop the same career, go back to school for an advanced degree, or change career paths entirely.

#8 First dance

You may be at a school dance or a friend's party, but the first time you dance is the the memory that drives you to hone those Justin Timberlake moves or avoid the dance floor entirely for the rest of your life. Tread cautiously.

#9 First day of school

hether it's your first day of kindergarten or your first day of college, you'll never forget your first classes and the friends you make that day. The trepidation going into it and the thrill to know that you've entered a significant new phase in your life is what makes the first day of school such an unforgettable one.

#10 First drive

The sweet smell of... your dad's old car. You may not get the new car smell yet, but the sensation of having the world at your fingertips is something you'll never forget.

#11 First time

Losing one's virginity is a huge first, whether it's with your high school sweetheart at prom or after marriage. Like your first kiss, t's a big deal for most people and unforgettable for all kinds of reasons.

#12 First kiss

One never forgets one's first kiss, regardless of whether it was good or bad. It may have been a fearful but innocent peck, or it may have been a disastrous lip-lock. Chances are, neither of you know what you're doing and that's just ok -- because it's your first.
