Dreams

Sometimes I think that if I don't have a list already made, I forget half of the things I wanted to do. If I ever go to the grocery store and forget a list, I only come home with about half of the items that I needed. I don't know if this normal, or if I am crazy. But I am a list type of a person.



I have been thinking a lot about the things that I would like to do in my lifetime, all the things I want to see, accomplish, be... So I decided to create a list of goals for my life. Some of them may be lofty goals... but I hope that I can accomplish all that I seek out to accomplish.

My Lifetime Goals:
1. Learn to play the guitar
2. Learn to ice skate without falling down every minute or two.
3. Go skydiving
4. Go parachuting
5. Learn Italian
6. Learn how to cook healthily and consistently
7. Run a 10 k
8. Do a triathlon
9. Read the Book of Mormon in one month
10.Graduate with a bachelors in Nursing
11.Go to med school or get my DNP
12. Have a family
13. Buy a plane ticket for that same day.
14. Learn to play tennis
15. Learn to play Ultimate frisbee
16. Witness a miracle
17. Become an expert in something
18. Serve a mission - including service missions
19. Learn to rock climb expertly

MN Bucket List



I love change.

I am always excited for new opportunities.

New places to go.

New Faces.

New Beginnings.

All of it!

Now that we know we won't be in Minnesota next year, I am excited to have a new city and state to explore and discover.

But before we go, I want to be sure that I have experienced everything that I want to in Minnesota. You would think that after almost 24 years, I would have done everything. But there is still so much I would like to do!

Here is my Bucket List for good ol' Minnesota:

1. Go backpacking on the Superior Hiking Trail
2. Rockclimb in a new area.
3. Eat a Juicy Lucy at Matt's Bar
4. Ice skate outside one more time
5. Visit the Minneapolis farmers market
6. Camp in s really rural area
7. Visit the MN sculpture garden-- I have never done that!
8. Mill City Museum
9. Fort Snelling
10. North St Paul Car Show
11. Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
12. Visit the Tate Lab on a Friday to star gaze

Oh there is so much more! We will just have to see what I can accomplish with a 22 credit work load, work, church and volunteering.

OOPS!


Yesterday I was a complete idiot and fell off a treadmill.... at the jam-packed gym.

The end.

p.s. who knew that it could be so painful?
p.p.s. I may or may not have some burns and painful bleeding knees.
p.p.s. Most people probably wouldn't share something like that, but I hope this will help me laugh about it and get over my complete and utter embarrasment. aaah!
