My Bucket List

I'm stealing an idea from my amazing cousin April 'cause it is such an awesome idea. Make a Bucket List. I've always made a list in my head, but to put it down so I can visually see the progress I make is a really good idea. Italic ones are completed.

• Become a mom.


• Visit all 50 states (my count is at 18 - airports count in my opinion).


• See the Seven Wonders of the World.


• Visit Europe - UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Greece are at the top of the list of countries to visit there.


• Visit Australia and New Zealand.


• Egypt, pyramids, mummys, etc.


• Go on an African safari and see ALL african animals in person in the wild (zoos don't count).


• Learn to drive a stick shift.


• Be in a movie.


• Be the president of the US, hopefully the first woman president (this one is not realistic since I'm not a politician and would never join a political party and have no hopes of getting enough votes that way - but at election time in 12 years I will be old enough at 39 and maybe I can start a write in campaign - you can laugh at me now but you'll have to vote for me)


• Visit South America and go down the Amazon River (in a boat/canoe).


• Swim with sharks - in a very strong shark cage.


• Learn to speak spanish and french, maybe italian too.


• Road trip across Canada and America - not necessarily all in one trip.


• Participate in Race for a Cure.


• Get to meet my great grandchildren.


• Live to 100 (really should take better care of myself if I hope to see this one).


• Learn to knit.


• Learn to quilt.


• Learn to play the piano.


• Buy my OWN house.


• Learn to surf.


• Own a horse or two - as well as other farm animals.


• Make sure my kids' dreams come true.


• Walk the entire length of the Great Wall of China.


• Chinese New Year IN China.


• Visit Asia.
