Last night as I was watching parts of the CMA awards (did you see them dance Gangnam Style? soooo funny!)
I turned to Phil and said "One day we will go to Nashville, right? It's on my bucket list." And then I thought maybe I should post my bucket list and start working towards those goals to make them more of a reality than a pipe dream. So here goes:
1) Were you paying attention? I just told you one of my bucket list items. But I don't want to only go to Tennessee, I would also love to see Georgia and South Carolina.
2) I want to smooch Phil in Austria again...and again...and again :)
I'm thinking when one of our children (hopefully) goes to Franciscan University and (hopefully) travels abroad, we will (hopefully) be able to visit them there.
3) I want to see a baby being born.
I know I've pushed five bambinos out, but I want to see someone else do it and go through the whole process without being in pain and agony. Phil always tells me how amazing and beautiful it is.
4) I want to meet some of my favorite blogging buddies in real life that I haven't had the chance to meet yet. You lovelies all know who you are!
5) I want Maggie to have a sister, and I would love to adopt her.
6) I would love to learn to play violin again (I played for 5 years) and then teach my children how to play.
7) My number one bucket list item is to go to Hawaii.
Maybe for our 25th anniversary?!?!
Have a wonderful bucket-list-completing weekend everyone!
Didn't catch CMA's, but seriously love Carrie Underwood. I mean, how cute is she?! Like, All.the.time. I wonder what it's like looking that good/cute all the time??
ReplyDeleteAny who....I spent one night in Nashville while on NET. I thought it was awesome. I have said ever since that I'd like to go back to Tennessee again one day to see so much more. And the Carolina's would be fun too. ahhh....
I keep thinking I'd like to be on the other side and see someone in controlled labor (no screaming/drama) and what that must be like. Let's do swappies--next time you deliver, I'll fly out. If I ever deliver again, you fly here? Got it?
One day, we're gonna meet. We've gotta. We've just gotta. I sound too pathetic talking about you here around home so often like you live next door. The kids think it's weird. At least if we met you become a real person and not someone I stalk. lol.
Happy weekend, Bestie!!
Let's take care of a bit of #4 soon. Didn't you say you were coming to Indiana some time in the future? We will make that happen fo sho.
ReplyDeleteAaron and I have an excel document that is shared in google docs that has our bucket list. We can add to it whenever we want (and we do a lot). I think it is so important to dream. My favorite bucket list item? I REALLY want to take a bath in a bathroom with a fireplace. Can't wait to cross that sucker off.
ReplyDeleteI am el-lam-O because I do not have a bucket list. Not sure if it is a blessing or a curse but I am a pretty content person in my own little world right here in MN. I guess if I won the lottery...a bucket list would magically appear.
ReplyDeletePlease come to MN..lots of lakes, NO BUGS..hee hee..and lots of MN bloggers!!!
I think you're inspiring me to write down my own bucket list! I get REAL antsy when I don't have a project or goal to work toward, so it'll contribute to the overall peace and harmony en la casa.
ReplyDeleteI made it to the bucket list? Awesomeness! And we WILL meet one day, I know it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I could help you out with #3 as long as you don't mind seeing me lose my s*@t and you don't have anything to do at Christmas. I'm sure you won't be busy at all. ;-)
Ah! I have a bucket list too! Visiting North Carolina has always been on my list, although I am not quite sure why. It just seems like the most wonderful state! I am impressed with you ambition to want to see a baby being born. I have only had one. I think I would feel so helpless when someone is in that much pain. Although I know it is such a beautiful miracle, so maybe I could get over it. Thanks for sharing your bucket list with us! Happy Friday.
ReplyDeletelove your bucket list! i am totally with you on wanting to give my daughter a sister. if our next baby (not pregnant yet) is not a girl, i might have to consider adopting one myself. i want to go to South Africa crazy bad. hopefully one day. . .
ReplyDeleteAs a native SC'inian, can I just point you to Charleston and call it a day? Because the rest of the state (with the exception of Greenville/Spartanburg and Columbia) might make you cry. Oh what, you've never seen The Corridor of Shame?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I should be a travel agent!
Fun! My bucket list? I want to see Venice. I want to go to China and I soooooo want to adopt too, but it does not have to be a girl!
ReplyDeleteHawaii is BEAUTIFUL! You will love it.
Love the Halloween costumes and the All Saints costumes!!! My favorite- Bowser, and St. Francis. SOOOOO CUTE. The other ones are pretty awesome as well. Happy All Soul's Day, hope your week went well.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great to meet? I would love it too.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing and beautiful and unbelievable to watch a birth but as a doula it is super hard work if you're actually expected to DO something while you're there :) And as beautiful as it is and there is that teeny part that makes me want to do it again there's a much bigger part that makes me super duper not anxious to do it again!
ReplyDeleteHawaii is on my list, too. And Rome. And maybe becoming a midwife (that one would take some Divine workings out...)
Awwww! I'm going to be honest, and say that I had my fingers crossed SO HARD hoping I was on your list ;) I don't think you know how much I would love to meet up with you one day. Hope that dodesn't sound stalkerish, lol! I just know we'd have such fun visiting. Plus, we can start arranging marriages ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your bucket list. I was in the room when my nephew was born. I was only 13 at the time, though, so I would LOVE to do it again. Preferrably before my girlies have babies of their own. What a miracle. Poor Jeremy, I'm already on his case about #5!
