Bucket List Accomplished...and the Anti-Bucket List :)

I also had to write to be thankful for the things that were (or should have been) on my bucket list that I have gotten to experience that are totally bucket list worthy. I encourage you to do this as well so that you can see how far you have come.

Things I have done that are bucket list worthy: 

• watched the Perseid Meteor shower with my love
• kayaked in the ocean in Cozumel
• snorkeled (Maui, Cancun, and Cozumel)
• hiked to a waterfall and swam underneath
• kissed in the pouring rain
• kissed in the falling snow
• snow-sledding with myh kids
• had children (thought I never wanted any...boy how I was wrong!)
• married my best friend
• shared romantic moments on the beach
• watched fireworks from a high-rise hotel room in Seattle
• Earned a college degree (or two)
• night swimming
• adopted (many) pets
• owned a boat (and would love to again someday!)
• visited Chichen Itza (Mayan ruins, Mexico)
• Ridden a "death cab" through Mexico (anyone who has been there and ridden in a taxi there knows what I mean!)
• Gotten lost on a city bus (Provo, Utah...remember this, Jill?)
• Have my own egg-laying chickens (ha ha! But it is pretty cool)
• Take care of a dying person and family in need
• minister to pregnant women
• tutor students who were falling behind
• create a home
• ride a jetski
• swim with (and hold) stingrays
• pet a baby leopard
• get a tattoo
• go to a concert
• sampled escargot

And just for giggles, I have to share my Anti-Bucket List of things I never want to do...ever. 

• Run a marathon. (I know lots of people who like doing this and I applaud them. Me? Not my idea of fun...at all.)
• travel to the Middle East for Women's Studies
• Study poisonous spiders
• substitute teach (except maybe, maybe for my mom's class...and again I know people that like this-more power to ya!)
• become a mathematician 
• have twins (just the idea of 2 infants gives me the willies!)
• give up caffeine, cheese or garlic.
