I think I need to make a longer list because I've done most of the stuff on my bucket list - I guess another way to look at it is that I'm perfectly content with my life at the moment.
I want to raise a family which is happening now so I'll get to check that off. Also, I've never been to Europe and I've always wanted to go. My boyfriend and his family are British so hopefully we can make this happen someday soon. Their stash of Flake Bars are running low and his father said that we need to at least make a trip over there to get some more.
I don't have a list persay. Most of mine are just travel-related. There are so many places I still haven't been: Antarctica, anywhere in Africa, the Galapagos, etc that I want to eventually hit.
Mine is a little boring. I want to travel to Greece and spend a few weeks there. I've always wanted to go! I want to have a true friend at least one time in my life. I want to take a cooking class.
Places I want to go or see: -See the Northern Lights -Alaskan cruise -Participate in the MINIs on the Dragon (Blue Ridge/Appalachian mountains in North Carolina)
Things I want to accomplish: -Raise my children in the ways of Christ -Celebrate my children's individuality daily and encourage them to be who they are meant to be, not who I *want* them to be or *think* they should be -Be a better person than I am today -Love others more than myself and show love to others
I think most of mine has to do with travel. I want to go anywhere and everywhere. And I'd love to take my whole family on most trips to expose them to other cultures. But I didn't win the lottery last night, so there won't be much travel in my near future.
All I've really ever wanted to do in my life is swim with dolphins.
My family will be doing this in July at Discovery Cove in Orlando. I only hope I can join in...but I am not counting on it! I think it would be an amazing experience.

I thought of one more - I want to run a half marathon. (I don't think I could ever get in shape enough or like running enough to do a full but I would like to do a half)
See the ocean in person. Go to another country. Run a marathon (I should put become a runner before this). Get to a healthy weight and have a healthy self-image. Visit every state in the USA. Open my own craft store. Climb a mountain. Go scuba diving.
I forget where you live but I want to bring you to the ocean! Everyone should see the ocean in person someday.

-Find a paying job I'm passionate about. -Visit all 50 states (40 down), the Alps, Paris, La Sagrada Familia. -Make sure my kids visit San Francisco, NYC, The Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. -Own a house.
I've never made a real bucket list. So these are just random things I'm thinking of now:
I'd love to visit: -Asia (maybe a 10 day tour kind of thing) -Australia -all 50 states. I doubt I'll do this one, I've been stuck at 46 for the last 7 years. I'm down to states that don't actually appeal to me, so it would just be so I can say I've been to them all.
I'd like to take annual family vacations with my children (not just visiting relatives)
I want to become fluent in sign language.
I used to really want to skydive, but sometime in the past 10 years I became too scared!
- Visit India, Europe and Israel -Own my own home -Start an orphanage in Dominican Republic
That's an amazing goal! My church sponsors an orphanage in the Dominican and it is sad to see the need that is there.
It definitely is sad. There are a lot of beautiful vacation spots and wealthy areas, but the towns were there isn't is very sad. This is a dream my sister and I have. We have started a bit of work already but it's been hard financially. I can share pic and stuff sometime if you'd like. Our next trip is this summer to raise the walls and get running water. I just want to give back to a town that feels so much like home to me.
1) Go to Spain. Specifically—Madrid. My family is from there, but I have never been. I am part Spanish.
2) Open my own design studio. I already have a great freelance company going on (10 contract employees), but we all work out of our homes.
I want to be downtown and in a nice studio so I can finally quit my day gig!
3) Travel to all 50 states.
4) Go to an Ohio State vs. Michigan football game, and then go to the National Championship to see Ohio State win!
5) Learn to dance like a pro. Specifically: the waltz, salsa dancing, and the trot.
6) Face my biggest fear: Skydiving.
7) Become a personal trainer for pregnant women, post-partum women and women just trying to lose weight and get into lifting.
Um.... bleh.... Go Blue!
chicagomomab - Haha! I don't have a huge issue with Michigan. I just know we generally beat the pants off of them. AndPlusAlso: We did pretty well in the National Championship this year. :::puffs out chest with pride::: All kidding aside: They are a part of the Big 10, so they are still A-Okay in my book.
