Life List Re-visted (and yes, I'm still a blogger)

Each summer, it is my goal to work especially hard to check things off my life list.  I copied and pasted this from a post I wrote last summer.

My Life List: (in random order)

1. Visit Los Angeles/Hollywood/Laguna Beach
2. Visit New York City
3 Travel to (or at least through) all states in the U.S.
4. Ride a gondola in Italy
5. Take a cooking class
6. Go to Paris
7. See Gavin DeGraw in concert
8. Go on a mission trip
9. Get married
10. Have children
11. Buy a house 
12. Be debt-free
13. Attend a taping of a daytime talk show (Oprah, the View, Regis and Kelly, etc.)
14. Learn how to drive a stick shift
15. Go camping
16. Go to the Mall of America
17. Visit Washington D.C. again, and this time appreciate what's there


One of my goals is to visit every state in the country.  I just returned from a great trip to visit friends in Minnesota.  We took a road trip through Iowa to Kansas City (which is right on the border of Kansas and Missouri if you're geographically challenged like me).  On my flight home, I had a layover in Texas.  I count that.  :)  I can now mark off Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and Texas.  That's huge and call me a geek if you choose, but I'm excited!  Who wants to take me to Hawaii?  Any nice, rich, handsome man out there dying to go??

I can also check off number 16, which was visit the Mall of America.  Wow!  That place is insane!  Pictures coming soon of that awesome experience.

Happy Summer to all of you! I can't wait to read the exciting things you do and document. :)

Life List, Re-visited

I went back through my blog and found my Life List, first posted in 2009. I was interested to see if I had accomplished anything I set out to do two years ago.  Thankfully, before this summer is over, I will be blessed to be able to mark off four things!  Now, who is up for working through this entire list with me? LA anyone? Italy?

What's on your Life List?

"One rainy afternoon an inspired 15-year old boy named John Goddard sat down at his kitchen table in Los Angeles and wrote three words at the top of a yellow pad, "My Life List." Under that heading he wrote down 127 goals. These were not simple or easy goals. They included climbing the world's major mountains, exploring from source to mouth the longest rivers of the world, piloting the world's fastest aircraft, running a mile in five minutes and reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. Now, a generation later, he has accomplished 109 of these quests, and has logged an impressive list of records in achieving them."

What's on your Life List (or Bucket List as it's come to be known lately)? Have you ever thought about it? I thought I would begin one of my own. I'm sure it'll grow as time progresses, so check back if you wish. There may be new goals to come!
