My Bucket List

 I have been wanting to make a bucket list forever and never sat down and did it until now. These are all the things I could think of right now that I would like to do, God willing, before I "kick the bucket." There are some big and some small things on the list and I am sure the list will grow and change over time. I really want to travel and see as much of the world as I can. I can't wait to start crossing things off my list! Hopefully, this summer I can get started on a few.

1. Visit the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC

2. Travel to Israel and see the Holy Land where Jesus walked

3. Travel to Paris, France
4. Get Married

5. Have children
6. Home school my kids
7. Write a book

8. Buy a house

9. I have several friends who grew up going camping with their families and now they own campers and do the same with their families. My family was not a camping family, but hearing about my friends trips and how much fun they have makes me want to do the same with my family someday. I would love to own a camper (not a tent) and  go camping at Yosemite National Park and other camping sites all over the U.S.

10. Own a family lake house

11. Travel to Maine and take pictures of the lighthouses

12. Go on as many mission trips as possible



13. Buy a "real" camera and take a photography class

14. Go to the Joyce Meyer Women's Conference in St. Louis..I would also love to meet Joyce one day

15.  Travel to New York at Christmas time


16. Take a Zumba Class

17. Go to a spa resort with friends

18. Take ballroom dancing lessons

19. Take country two-stepping lessons

20. Take cooking lessons

21. Visit Carlo's Bakery in New York..I love this show on TLC

22. Travel to Tuscany, Italy


23. Learn how to quilt ( I love patchwork quilts like the picture above and want to learn how to make one)


24. Get my Masters Degree in Education Administration

25. Travel to London, England

26. Travel to Los Angeles

33. Vacation somewhere in the Carribean

34. Go back to Maui, Hawaii and visit all the Hawaiian Islands

35. Earn the Teacher of the Year Reward

35. Learn to play the piano again...I took piano lessons when I was younger and learned the Suzuki method of how to play (where your fingers are numbered) and never graduated to the point where I learned how to read the music. I wish I had never quit taking lessons.

36. Go to a Broadway Play

37. See the Titanic Exhibit...I have always been interested in the Titanic and would love to see the exhibit that goes around to cities with artifacts from the Titanic

I LOVE your bucket list!!! I love how you put pictures with each item--as a fellow blogger, I know the time you put into that! For some reason, I teared up reading it. ?? I enjoyed seeing all the places you want to go and things you want to experience. Looking forward to seeing some of those things marked off your list!

Wow I didn't know you wanted to write a book! You'll have a few of those off your list very soon :)
