Bucket List


I'm a dreamer and have so many things I want to do with my life. I even want to go to school and become so many different things i'm a little crazy. Besides school most of my dreams involve traveling. There is nothing I love more than a vacation, whether it's camping, the beach, a cabin, you name it and I'll go! I have only been to California and I went to the Bahamas last year with my mom but there is one place I've always wanted to go.... New York City! My best friend Meagan went there when we were in 7th grade and i've secretly hated her ever since so we decided it's time I go so I can get over my grudge :). Not only am I going to NYC but i'm going at Christmas time with two good friends. I'm crossing off number one on my bucket list and I can hardly contain my excitement! The best part is we got super cheap flights and I have a relative (kinda) who lives in New York who is letting us stay in her apartment while she comes to AZ for Christmas and I am so so grateful. We are going to save a whole lot of money. This is just what I needed to get me through this semester.

I've always wanted to write out a bucket list so I will finish this post with my Bucket List:
1. Go to NY at Christmas time
2. I dream about going SKYDIVING every night (who wants to join?)
3. Be married in the temple and raise a famliy
3. Have my own horsies
4. Own a cabin up in the mountains
5. Go to Paris, London, all those fun places with my husband
6. Go to Hawaii
7. Spend a summer in Africa helping at an orphanage
8. Nanny on the East Cost
9. Go hunting (weird right? I dont want to shoot any cute animals though)
10. Swim with sharks, in a cage of course

Oh I'm so so jealous!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE NYC!! I want to go back so bad! You will LOVE it!! Also, come up to Utah and go skydiving with my crazy husband! I bought him a pass to go for his birthday, but no one will go with him and he doesn't want to go alone!! Then, you can meet my baby boy. His name is Bauer...that's almost like meeting Jack Bauer, right?! :)

Ahhhh I'm so jealous of you! I have been wanting to go skydiving..I will seriously go with you! In my life plan I am going to go to china or somewhere to teach english! Except my sister said that you make more money in North Korea so I'll probably do that.

Oh my goodness, when I was flying in the daytime a few days ago I thought... 'would I be able to jump out of this plane???' and decided yes, and then no and then yes. I always said I wanted to go sky diving, and after much tribulation, I still think I want to go sky diving. What an exciting thing to have on a bucket list, I hope you get to do all of them.
Also, did you know there is a skydiving simulator thing somewhere in Arizona? You should look it up, my mom wants to do that before she takes the real plunge haha.

Please learn to yodel. For the sake of the Christmas Eve program.
Also, I basically made the same trip to New York with a friend randomly during the summer and it was the best thing ever! Make sure you go the NBC store, the temple, the 4-story Forever 21 in Times Square, and see a Broadway play. Also, eat like there is no tomorrow, because basically all the food is amazing, and you can't get it anywhere else. Especially this random greek food stand by the Rock. I crave that stuff all the time.
Also, I have ridden an elephant. Just sayin'.
