Life Journey List

I turned 35 years old a couple of weeks ago and while it wasn't a big birthday to most people, it kinda was to me. The week before this birthday I started to think about how long I have left on this earth. Most people live well into their 70's and 80's, so I feel like this birthday was the half way mark for me in life. Now this doesn't mean that I'm going through some silly mid-life crisis. It's nothing like that. But I started to really think about how I want to live the rest of my life, things I want to accomplish and places I want to go. Most people create a bucket list of some sort but I think of this more as a life journey list. So here are 20 goals on my life journey list that I hope to accomplish!

1.  Read the bible

2.  Get baptized


3.  Visit all 50 states

4.  Watch my future nieces and/or nephews grow up and be a part of their lives

5.  Make my Grandmother's homemade macaroni and cheese just the way she does and have it taste just like hers

6.  Buy a home

7.  Grow old with Kyle

8.  Go on a cruise to Alaska (and port to take the train inland)

9.  Learn to play the cello

10.  Feed the homeless

11.  Adopt a dog from a shelter

12.  Travel to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower

13.  Be healthy and happy

14.  Help my parents and Kyle's parents as they get older

15.  Write a children's book

16.  Move to a state that has less traffic and cooler weather

17.  Celebrate New Year's Eve in Times Square

18.  Scuba dive with sea turtles
 
19.  Learn to go with the flow and accept things the way they are

20.  Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity
