50 Things To Do...

I've seen "50 Things To Do Before You Die" lists on various t.v. shows, in magazines, and in travel books, but I'd never seen anyone's personal list. Including mine. So, I decided to create a list of 50 attainable goals for myself but then realized that I have already done some things that would have deserved to be on this list so I split it into two:



My 25 Things To Do...



1- Read the entire Holy Bible


2- Grow a magazine-worthy flower garden


3- Compile a written description of my life's best moments for my grandchildren


4- Learn to snow ski


5- Make pretty babies with my husband


6- Learn to graciously accept a compliment


7- Adopt a child


8- Flip a house for fun


9- Remain within two dress sizes of my college figure


10- Skydive


11- Vacation for a week in Hawaii


12- Help someone along their road to salvation


13- Take an African safari


14- Give my parents a second honeymoon


15- Learn to play a sport
