Last week I got to stay with my mom after she had surgery so that I could help take care of her.  She had The Bucket List stored in her DVR so I decided to watch it.  It was a great movie and I decided that I needed to make a list of things that I want to do.  A few days went by and I didn’t start on my list…and then I came across a blog where a mom had posted her list of things to do before she died…I LOVED it!  So, I decided that my blog would be the best place for me to post my list.  Some of these have already been completed…yay!  I took some of them from my “Senior Memoirs” book where I had listed my future dreams. Obviously this will be a work in progress because I will be thinking of more things I want to do. Enjoy!

1. Get Married
2. Have kids
3. Drive a mini van
4. Be a Girl Scout Leader
5. Be president of the PTA (this was from my senior memiors book…I homeschool, so we don’t exactly have a PTA but I was a support group leader for a local group and I still a leader in the homeschool community in my area, so does that count??)

9. Own my own business
