- Sky Dive
- Scuba Dive
- Hold a penguin
- Travel across the US by train with my family
- Take a hot air balloon ride
Goals I Would Like to Accomplish
- Get married and have a family √
- Create a memory quilt for each kid out of their old clothing
- See each of my children graduate from college
- Create a welcoming, organized home for my family in a house that we all fit in
- Learn to write HTML
- Write a blog post that goes completely viral
- Retire and devote all my spare time to volunteering in school and/or after-school programs
Do you have a bucket list? What's on it? Have you accomplished something from your list that you're especially proud of?
This is a great list Rabia :)
ReplyDeleteI can't really help on the others because they either take money or a lot of time and patience on your end but I can say HTML is really easy to learn but very rewarding! You can sit down and learn to code a simple website in one evening
I enjoy reading your blog

Thanks Katy, I'm pretty good at Google-ing HTML, but I think I'd actually enjoy sitting through a class. I can take one for free here at JMU, I've just got to work out the time to do so. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've made my own bucket list, although not as in depth as yours.

Check your State Zoo's for the penguin holding. I've found a bunch recently, in our state, where you can feed penguins, pet and feed giraffes, feed and pet birds, feed and pet stingrays and more!
I didn't even think of a zoo. I was thinking more of taking a trip to South Africa or South America to check them out! You know, if I win the lottery!!
DeleteImpressive list! I'm married so the only thing left on my list is to have a child (we are working on that). Other than that I've decided to just be happy with whatever comes in life and stop looking forward or dreaming about things that may never happen - but that's me and I'm weird. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the little check mark. I would love to go to The Galapagos - a true dream. My bucket list is very about moose and whales and northern lights. I feel like one trip to Alaska could cover all of that and then I'd still be young enough to enjoy a whole new bucket list. Cool, right? A viral blog post would be a dream.
ReplyDeleteI have family in Alaska! It's beautiful. I think I've seen a moose up there, but I haven't been for about 13-14 years, so I don't remember. Let me know if you ever get to make a trip up there! It's gorgeous!!
DeleteLove your list! And I especially love your little check mark. One down, a few more to go! I learned HTML a few years ago, and I can say that once you figure it out, it's very easy to read.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I had to put one check mark up there, so I could feel like I had accomplished something!! :)
DeleteI think I've got the gist of HTML, but I want to learn more of the meat, if you know what I mean.
Nice list. I'm too afraid to sky dive.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tamara. I love the little check mark next to getting married and having a family! I am very lucky in that I've been to Egypt. So well worth it. I hope you get there!
ReplyDeleteI totally want to go on a game show, too!! When I was little my family tried out for Family Feud. We weren't picked, and I am still bitter about it! ;)-Ashley
ReplyDeleteOh, but to have auditioned!! How exciting! I keep asking Ken if we can go on the Newlywed Game. He rolls his eyes for some reason!
DeleteI don't have a bucket list....yet! You have reminded me that I really should make one. I also like the little tick you have added to your list. I'm trying very hard to make a tidy and welcoming house, plus I'm ok-ish at HTML.
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my husband that we need a bucket list! Things for just us and things for us with the kids!! Love your "write a blog post that goes viral..." DITTO :)
ReplyDeleteWell--I guess I am doing the last item on your bucket list...and it never was on my bucket list! It is where I know God wants me now!! Great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat Bucket list you have here. Galapagos is a must see!!!
ReplyDeleteI love a good bucket list! :) You're such an adventurer, wanting to go sky-diving & scuba-ing! I agree with one of your other commenters who suggested checking out local zoos to satisfy your penguin craving! (That sounds wrong...) That, or you might be able to touch one while swimming in the Galapagos. One trip, two bucket list items! They were surprisingly friendly and kept swimming alongside us as we snorkeled!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! You sound very brave to me with the things you want to do! I REALLY hope you get to hold a penguin! awwwe <3 I don't have a bucket list, but I've made a 35 by 35 list! http://diymamablog.com/about/35-35/
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I don't have my list written down yet, I have it all in my head ;) Will definitely write it all down
ReplyDeleteWe've got a linkup coming soon for bucket lists. I need to get my list down to the ten more important!
ReplyDeleteGreat list Rabia! After writing 10 things for my Bucket list for #TuesdayTen - I decided that I wanted to have 100 things on my list - so that's my mission this week! eek!
ReplyDeleteWow! Set some big goals for yourself, huh?! I need to go back and do some work on my own lifetime list.
