The Bucket List

So, in one of my past recent entries, I said I'd share my life's bucket list. Others may refer to it as "life long goals" but whatev, same smell.

My list consists of 100 things. But today I will share my first 20. =) So, not in any particular order, here goes nothing.

(Who doesnt want to visit this place right? Mall of America!!!)

1. I want to shop till I drop at this place!!

2. Meet Buddy at his Bakery and request a "special" cake made by him!!

3. Christmas in NEW YORK

Now it's pretty standard in my family that Christmas will always be at [home]. But just once in my life. I want to take the kids to New York and experience the [big city]. Which brings me to 4.

4. Yes! I want to watch a Broadway show!! I think the closest I've gotten to a broadway show is the annual Nutcracker here in Salt Lake and that's ballet. lol

5. I want to run a triathlon!! I want to do one this summer so if I train hard enough and really stay focused, this one can get a lovely check mark! =)

6. I want to swim with dolphins!! Lol seriously. I bet Tamara would be totally fine with this cause she loves fish!! When my dad comes home with a cooler full of fish from his day at the lake, Tamara has no problem with grabbing at them and hold them. lol Me, on the other hand, am not the very best. But I've always wanted to swim with dolphins. So hopefully one day!

7. This one's a given, and is already in progress. I want to graduate. I want to be a nurse and I want to do my best! [success]

8. To walk the Great Wall of China!! This has so much world history to it. I would one day, love to visit this place!! This can also be considered my [travel the world] part. I would only pick few places to visit in this world. Not sure if I can be away from home so many times, so I only have a select few.

9. This one is also in progress. But to write a book can take a lot of time and research. But I want to write a book that is so epic, it can change the world. [ya right?]

10. Now, before they run out of [childhood] I want Tamara to meet Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and all the Disney Characters. She's absolutely in love with Disney and not to mention the new Sophia the first. She loves that princess. If I can one day take them here and have a special lunch set up for Tamara with Sophia, omg. I would be the happiest Mom!!

11. If you can't tell by now, I love to talk. I'm not afraid to give a speech and I have no problem communicating with others. One thing I want to do, is give a motivational speech at a University! Help students stay motivated and keep focus on why they are in school and the outcomes of a students hardwork.

12. Did I tell you guys I [coupon]. Well, I do and will never again pay full price for anything! That's absolute nonsense! So, for this part, I want to get so good at couponing that I can potentially make my debut on this crazy show!

13. For cute!!!! I want a dog for the kids! We've had a good number and [variety] of pets growing up like a dog, a cat (i think), a rooster, a chicken, a bunny and ya thats it. Oh ya, a hamster too. But they have been pets from my childhood. I want a family dog for the kids. One that is super cute as a puppy and grows up to be a super big dog! =)

14. Chinese Lanterns have always amazed me. I hear they are expensive if you purchase them, but I've also ran into a couple DIYs on pinterest. So, I want to light and let go of a chinese lantern and make it one of my family traditions, where we let the birthday [person] make a wish and let it go and do one as a family every new years eve as we set new family and personal goals. =)

15. Something a little similar to the lanterns. Just that fact that we let them fly away. But something I've seen done in the past and think it's such a great idea. Is when you sit down and write out your testimony. Your thoughts about the gospel and anything you would say to a [non member]. After writing it down, folding it up and putting it into the balloon, then inflating it with helium and simply letting it go and hoping it reaches to someone searching for the truth. I missed out on the opportunity of serving a mission so I like to find other ways I can still spread the gospel with the way my life is. 

16. Find True Love!! It's not the best being single but I've found ways of dealing with it. And most of it is with the kids. But if another chapter happens to open up to me, I want it to be real. I want it to be so real that I feel like I'm living in a fantasy.

17. My dream car!! Not exact but let me tell you, I am a sucker for these oldn' day cars! I love them! I have cargasms when I see one. lol Did I really just say cargasm? My vocab needs a check! lol But yes. I would love to own one of these in my day and hopefully pass it down to my posterity and hope that they will find an appreciation for this car! Like a family heirloom.

18. His voice seriously makes me melt! [More then words] will always be my ALL TIME fave! I have so many though, but this song by far tops it off. So, I would love to hear him sing this in person, preferably to me. lol #frankiej

19. This one is actually very personal. But I really really really really [x's a gizillion] want to be sealed to the kids for all time and eternity. If that chapter of love opens, it can only be done with the help of Leroy. I doubt he would let the kids be sealed to another man but I think if he truly cares for them he will do whats best for the kids.

20. Every Thanksgiving, I think of the homeless. Just a habit of mine. But I want to go to the homeless shelter and help feed the homeless on thanksgiving. =) What better way to start off the holiday season then to help the less fortunate.  

Well there you have it. My bucket list. Hope I didnt bore you to death. But these are some things that I want to do in my lifetime. =)
