My kinda bucket list.......

I was working an overnight shift at work, and was making plans for the following evening. My hubby and I were going to relax and rent The Bucket List. When I got home from work that morning, he received a phone call that his best friend had just been killed in a car accident. We eventually watched the movie, but from an entirely different perspective than we would have before the news came about our best man.

Since then, which was only a couple of months back, I've attempted to let the good out weigh the bad, and live life to the fullest. We had our wedding, which was awesome, went to Mexico on our honeymoon, made some awesome dives, and have settled into married life.

Here's more of my list, really in no particular order:
Have children. We definitely want at least 3 or 4, we'll take as many as we get:) I can't wait for this!
Be a great mom! Teach our children right from wrong, and how to be good people. To educate them outside of school, so that they enjoy learning. To have FUN with them...... family vacations: camping, amusement parks, long car rides, the good stuff!
Visit Mexico again, and dive while we're there.
Have at least one great vacation a year- not necessarily expensive, just great!
Pay off my car and other debt, and never carry a credit card balance again! (I'm almost there!!)
Finish our home without taking a loan! We purchased it with an unfinished addition. It may take a few years, but we've got plenty of living space now, and plenty of time.
Be a great wife, daughter, sister, friend, GRANDMOTHER, etc......
Go to Rome. At least once.
Have a job I LOVE, yet can work around raising a family. Or perhaps get to the point where we don't need two incomes. I don't want our children in day care.
Write a book. At least one, if not ten!
Become a runner and run at least one marathon.
Attend a Red Sox game VIP style. Meet the players, coaches, etc.
Own a boat. A nice boat for the ocean!
Own at least two homes, one as an investment.
Pay off our current mortgage. Just about 29 years to go:)
Go sky diving- again.
Become a SCUBA instructor.
Work for a major studio in television or movie production.
Continue to grow in my faith.
Leave a legacy.................
