Re: Baby Bucket List
- House
- Some money put away for rainy days
- go somewhere we have never been.
We are on a 1 year plan. We've been wanting kids for awhile but we just got married so we decided to wait a year to talk about kids. Embracing the alone time
I love this! Ours is a 5 year goal
Get Married (check)
Buy a single family home with a backyard
Buy a boat
Pay of all debt including as much of the house loan as possible
Go to Vegas with good couple friends
Have a rock solid relationship and agree on baby raising decisions
Graduate college: check
Have a place to live: (in August!)
Get married: (in September)
I'm 25 now and I don't want to be an "old" mom for personal reasons so everything we plan starting in September, we plan with a baby in mind. Comic Con in Seattle! Harry Potter in Orlando! Germany, Ireland, River cruise. We're family people and we have a huge support system so I think we'll be ok.
A Baby Bucket List is a must for us!
The things we would still like to accomplish:
Pay off my student loans
I would like to lose 30 pounds or so and generally get healthier
Finish my Masters
DH finish his degree
DH and I decide if we want to get out of the military or if he's going to be a lifer
Travel to Jamaica and Ireland
Go on a cruise
Pinterest | Author Site | Tumblr | Blog | Free Printables
Have steady job me (check)
Have steady job H (check & he's looking for a better opportunity)
Pay off car (check)
Move closer to our jobs (this coming spring/summer)
Paying off H's SLs isn't going to happen before baby and neither is a house. I'm ok with that though. We plan to TTC next summer/early fall. :-D
- Save up for house dp and buy said house.
- H needs to take 3 more classes to complete is Bachelors.
Hoping to have both of these done by this time next year. Here's to hoping!

Sell our condo and buy a home (been on the market over 6 months!! ugh)
set up the house and make it our own (hopefully move before it gets cold out)
go to Disney world (Oct 2014)
Pay off my car
Pay off student loans
DH and I are not planning on having kids, and after reading through this post, I guess it could be because we have too many things on our baby bucket list, lol. If we had a list, here's what it would look like:
1.Be married (check)
2.Own a home (check) except if we had a child, we would want to get a larger home, because this one is pretty full with the two of us and the two dogs, so....
3.Buy a bigger house
4.Have stable jobs/careers (check)
5.Be maxing out retirement accounts
6.Have DH's student loans paid off
7.Finish all of our large home improvement projects--build a porch, build a deck, finish the addition over the garage, install sprinkler system, do landscaping, remodel the kitchen....this is a never ending list
8.Increase our emergency fund
9.Travel to Europe, esp. Ireland
10.Have a plan for child care--actually, if we had kids, I would really want to be able to stay home with them, but that would not be a possibility
11.Spend more time with babies/very young children
12.Take a parenting class
13.Learn how to not be grossed out by bodily fluids
14.Finish bachelor's degree
15.H would have to be willing to give up some of his hunting time
16.Hire a housekeeper (I'm so serious!)
