Bucket List

Something about the transition of seasons seems to make other people ponder other transitions in life.  Or maybe that's not the reason at all.  All I know is that I have been asked at least five times in the past two weeks about something on my bucket list. And I realized that I've never really written it down.
So here is my list as it stands today, July 23, 2013.  Things may change, things may never get accomplished, but this is what my list looks like today:

Places I'd Like to Visit

• The Vatican
• Australia
• The Galapagos Islands
• The Grand Canyon
• Egypt

 

These are, unfortunately, not real penguins.

Things I'd Like to Do

• Go on a Game Show and win money
• 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?
