Bucket List

I like the idea of making a bucket list - a list of things you want to do, see, or accomplish before you "kick the bucket."  This is new for me, so it's a work in progress. Some of my earlier goals have been accomplished and I have them here so I can remember.

• Go to Norway - land of my ancestors
• Be a princess - silly, I know. Never got to be a homecoming princess or Cranberry Festival princess. Not sure what opportunities I have for a tiara at my age.
• Learn how to Jingle Dance (powwow style)
• Go to Australia - another ancestral homeland
• Learn Navajo weaving
• Work somewhere that I can bring my dog to work with me
• Write a book (probably with help) to tell my story
• Be cherished by my children - I chose the word "cherish" very carefully
• Travel somewhere really exotic
• Be part of an amazingly successful fundraising effort - getting closer to this one
• Participate in a monumental event - 2002 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony
• Apologize to my mom for being difficult - thankfully, before she died
• Serve a mission
• Go to the temple - Yes!
• Earn my bachelor's degree - 2008, better late than never
• Have children - this may not sound difficult, but I lost an ovary in high school and I was worried
• Become a teacher - I could count this as being done because of teaching children at church and training employees at work....hmm
• Learn another language - did it, but forgot too much of it
• Become an artist - this came about in an unexpected way when I learned how to do design work on the computer
• Find someone who loves me even though I'm crazy - been married to him since 1988
