This is such a great idea! I need to make one of these.
good list of things to do! and with regards to the books, you NEED to read all the harry potter books, awesome!
i feel like there are too many books i NEED to read! ah! but those are definitely high up on the list.
its just so awsum…seems like Bucket List is indeed cool
thanks, i do think we should all have one!
Looking at your list I see alot of the same things I would love to do before i die and many that I have done!
1.Riding in a Gondola in Venice, Italy was an experience I’ll never forget! recommend it! so romantic!
2.Going on a helicopter ride was not as exciting as I had intended it to be! I was on a date with an almost stalker so that changed things. lol
3. get a pedicure, massage, snorkel, learn to play tennis, get a college degree, and attend general conference were all great experiences!
What i would love to do that I never have are on my bucket list too!
1. go to egypt and see king tuts tomb (goosebumps)
2. go parasailing! already decided that is what im going to do on my honeymoon!
3. seve a mission with the hubby, travel the world, do charity work in other countries, make a quilt, learn a classical piece on piano (still in beginner book), ride an elephant, write a book, be a grandmother, learn a new sport, etc.
We can do it!!!!!!
i’m jealous of your italy experience…but glad that i will soon have my own! we’ll have to compare notes
i lovelovelove to-do lists! weird? perhaps. but in a way, it’s kind of a sense of accomplishment and motivation to start now with all the things life has to offer! and as i check things off…i also add more…like a never-ending list. ugh. but it makes life THAT much better!
we’ve totally got this!
This is a great list. I would definitely agree with most of them. Jealous that you learnt salsa. That’s been on my list for ages.
I only have one thing on my list. Wake up.
Hi Whit. I know we shouldn’t “judge a book by it’s cover,” but seeing that a name covers a lot, I had to stop by when I saw yours. I’ve only met one other Whit in real life– living abroad doesn’t help that — in French speaking countries, they call me ‘huit,’ — but you, somewhat more virtual, probably ‘know’ dozens. Anyway, thanks for the interesting site, a window into your soul, Whit.
love Whitt.
i feel inspired and want to make my own list too in the future!
