Poll: Your List?
I just saw this on my local board. What are some things in life you want to do/see/learn/try, etc. before you die. Like a bucket list?
What is one thing you have already completed that you are happy and proud of?
Re: Poll: Your List?
Once upon a time, I did make a list of "100 things to do before I die." Yeah...I have no clue where that list is now.
Most of the things on my list probably have to do with travel...places I want to go and things I want to see. I have managed to cross quite a few places off my original list. The problem is that I keep adding to the list!
Truthfully, at this point, I'm just proud of myself for being willing and open to trying new things. I love that I've climbed a couple fourteeners (and I hope to do more, once we get back to Colorado), that I own my own rock climbing harness and know how to use it, that I own my own snowshoes and enjoy doing that, that I've gone sea kayaking. I know a lot of it has to do with DH, but I like that his nephews and my niece see us as "adventurers." I want to continue that as I get older.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
My "list" would mostly just be places I want to visit - Hawaii, Spain, the East Coast...
I also want to spend some time in England visiting places I never appreciated as a kid. I'm hoping we might go there for Arek's sabbatical in 3 years for a few months and be able to do that.
I want to start a business someday with my mum selling my cookies, tea, whatever it may be.
I also want to do the Random Acts of Kindness on my birthday sometime. I'm thinking about doing it on my 30th birthday. I'll have a 4 year old then and it would be fun to do together.
Visit every state (including Hawaii and maybe a cruise to Alaska).
Travel to Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and England.
I would love to build our own home, or have a beach house/condo some day.
I want to go parasailing.
Travel to NYC with the whole family during the holiday season.
Learn how to make my Grandma's noodles (she's deceased and I just found a handwritten recipe for some in my great aunt's recipe collection we were given). I will know if they are good if my Dad says so! Im just waiting for fall weather now to try and make them.
I already accomplished making home made yeast doughnuts this weekend- My Dad has been talking about how my grandma made them all the time, and when he tasted mine he said they were identical to hers
Another family recipe that I accomplished was on my mom's side- my great grandma's chow. I was told it was even better! These are things I am proud of.
Travel to Hawaii
Travel to Seattle (and hopefully see Carrie if she is still there)
Travel to CA (and hopefully see Caroline if she is still there and she is close to where we will be)
Travel back to London and go to a few places over there (if G will go over the pond)
Travel to Italy
Travel to Alaska
Travel to Australia
Learn how to sew
Snorkel
Jump out an airplane
Finish brother's scrapbook (yes this can be on my bucket list)
Pay off all our debt in the next 5 years, if not earlier
