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. :)
