It all started the first Sunday of the year when I decided to write a list of all the things I wantto do this year. They aren't goals that will make me a better person, just new adventures that I want to accomplish and thought, "Why not this year?" So I made that list and then started thinking of other things I wanted to do but wouldn't be able to fit into this year. I wanted to be able to remember what those things were so I started making a list. I didn't list these things in any particular order, just as they came to mind. And before I knew it I was at number seventeen and thought, "Okay, I'll try and get to twenty." By that time I only had five lines left on the page so I thought "Alright, I'll fill the page." And now I have myself a little bucket list.
Things I Want to Do Before I Die...
1. ride in a hot air balloon
2. take a trip to the Outback in Australia
3. go back to New Zealand
4. ride in a helicopter
5. ride a horse on the beach
6. see "Rigoletto" in Italy
7. visit all 50 states
8. design/create a cake with fondant
9. drive a semi-truck
10. go skydiving
11. join the Peace Corps
12. sleep in a sleep car on a passenger train
13. go to Vegas and walk the strip
14. do an amusement part tour back east
15. go hunting at least once
16. go to Greece
17. walk the beaches of Normandy
18. take a picture of the Swiss Alps
19. go back to Gettysburg
20. snow mobile through Yellowstone National Park
21. learn how to use the foot pedals on the organ
22. drive a stick shift without assistance
23. read the Book of Mormon in one month or less
24. drive a convertible
25. be in a taping of "The Price is Right"
So from that list...
Things I Want to Do This Year:
1. go skydiving (any takers? seriously? I'm not kidding so don't mess with me)
2. sleep in a sleep car on a passenger train (hopefully to a state I haven't been to before)
3. possibly get letters of recommendation for the Peace Corps (this depends on timing)
Things I Want to Do This Year That Aren't On My "Bucket List":
1. visit Colette in Wisconsin again
2. move (I really don't like my current house)
3. go on a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon (which has been planned but not yet paid for)
4. buy my own snow mobile helmet with goggles (visors are AWFUL)

Oh my goodness, I'm related to someone who wants to be on the price is right? I'm embarrassed. I thought all hatches were much too proud of their cynicism to do something like tha.
With specific ideas like that, you will never have time to be a drifter. gwh
First of all - I definitely think that you should take care of number 1 on your "not on bucket list" list. I fully support it! Second, my number one goal in life has been to ride a horse in the Outback (not across it, just some sort of distance in it) for about 10 years now. And third, my grandma crashed into a mountain side in a hot air balloon a few years ago. Please be careful. Oh and fourth - I love you!!!
JaLayney, i love your list! I really need to call soon! Hope all is going great!! i love you girl!!
love your list. but you have to add "go on an african safari in the serengeti" on your list. honestly, best thing we've ever done in our life.
