Bucket Lists and whatnot.

When I was younger, I would write tons and tons of bucketlists and lists of goals and stash them under my dresser. I wish I could find them, I would love to see what kind of things were on them. I remember things like "Get a college degree," "Make a quilt," "Get my Young Women's Recognition Award." But I would love to see all the items on these lists. I read over my cousin Celeste's Life List when she shared it on her blog a couple weeks ago, and I was not surprised to find we had many similar items, but it was not without things that make us completely different. I was hesitant to share mine with the world, but, I doubt the world reads this. So, here is my list of things I want to do/learn/see as of May 2012...


  • Learn to kayak
  • See a musical on Broadway
  • Learn conversational Spanish (more than the kitchen Spanglish I know--pleeeeease)
  • Build a cabinet or piece of furniture
  • Go deep sea fishing
  • Take a train trip (there is one my ex and I talked about doing through "Copper Canyon" in Mexico, it's supposedly one of the most scenic train trips in the world, but of course, Europe beckons as well, Switzerland!)
  • Learn a musical instrument, ie. the cello. (Sorry 6 years of piano, I have failed you)
  • Blow glass
  • Finish culinary school (ohhhhh once this semester is oveeeeeeeeeer, FINALLY)

  • Visit all 50 states ( I believe I only have around 17, not even half way!)
  • Do a session in every Utah temple 
  • Visit the Greek Isles
  • Try rock climbing/repelling
  • See Machu Picchu
  • Hone my archery skills
