Bucket List

I was reading a good friend of mine's blog and I saw that she created a bucket list (thanks Katie). I've seen the movie, I've mentioned a bucket list before, but I have never actually thought about what would be on my bucket list. I love to travel so I think that most of my bucket list items are going to be along those lines, but I have a few others that surprised me. What do you guys think?

  1. Go to Rome - I love art and architecture. I want to see the coliseum, the aqueducts, Constantine's Arch, St. Peter's church, and every sculpture possible.
  2. Visit Drew's family in Finland
  3. Visit my great-grandparent's graves in Ireland and have a drink at an Irish pub for my grandfather.
  4. Visit a site where a genocide took place (Poland, Rwanda, Cambodia, etc.) Not for any creepy reasons, I just want to pay my respects and hopefully understand that when I look at my life in perspective, I am so small.
  5. Spend a month in a Spanish speaking country without a translator.
  6. Learn Finnish
  7. Write a novel and try to get it published
  8. Travel to any spot in England which inspired JK Rowling to write Harry Potter
  9. Read the great Russian and Czech classics
  10. Travel across Europe with Drew and our kids so we all learn to appreciate other cultures.
  11. Start a non-profit organization for veterans
  12. Run a half marathon (come on, even in the best shape I still suck at running)
  13. Take Drew to Alaska
  14. Spend a week in Colorado (re)learning to ski
  15. Play in a Women's Hockey league
  16. Get into photography
  17. Learn to love myself
  18. Stop living for me and start living for God.


That is what I have so far, I am sure there are others out there.
