So...it looks like it's been a year since my last post...literally! So sad! Guess life has just gotten in the way of my blogging time. So, for my first post back from my 1-year hiatus, I choose to share my bucket list with all of you. I am entering a contest, and this is my entry in the Just Ask Bucket List Getaway Giveaway. Just Ask offers a breast and ovarian cancer screening and is encouraging people to share 15 things that I want to enjoy in my lifetime as a reminder to be aware of my health. Want to enter? Head over to TodaysMama.com to get the details.
It seems like cancer is so prevalent in my life lately. My grandma died of breast cancer, and I had 2 more grandparents pass away from cancer. Unfortunately, my dad now has cancer. After seeing how he has lived his life, and the things that he has and still needs to accomplish from his bucket list, it's about time I make one for myself. So, here it goes:
1. Go on another cruise. I've been on one and it was the best vacation of my life. It brought my husband and I so much closer, and was great for our relationship. I've always wanted to do another one, and hope I get to someday.
2. Travel around the world. I have ancestors from Hungary and Russia, and would love to see where they came from, and experience other parts of the world.
3. Learn how to surf. I've always loved the beach, but been chicken to surf. It looks like such a rush!
4. Go scuba diving. I loved snorkeling on the cruise, but I'd love to try scuba diving!
5. Learn how to ballroom dance. I love to dance! And I love Dancing with the Stars! I would love to learn how to ballroom dance...with my husband!
6. Write a fiction book. When I was in college, my English teacher asked if I'd ever considered being a writer. I had, but have never done it. I would love to write a book that people would be interested in reading!
7. See a Broadway show. I haven't gotten to yet, but would love the chance!
8. Live in a small town with a big backyard and a big garden. I've never had a yard big enough for my kids to play in or plant a garden, and would love to have that someday!
9. Have a vacation beach house. I've always dreamed of waking up to the ocean as my front yard, and being able to walk out onto the sand whenever I please!
10. Go on a safari. I have always wanted to travel to Africa and see the wild animals!
11. Go to Hawaii. Never been there, but sounds like I need too!
12. Become a great chef! I would love to be a good cooker and baker! Definitely need more classes for that!;)
13. Meet Brad Pitt. Okay, I've had a crush on this guy ever since I was younger. I think my tongue would be tied if I ever had the chance to meet him!
14. Run a marathon. Lots of my friends have done it, and I'd like to do it someday as well!
15. Return to Brazil, where I served a mission. I love that country and the people.
So there you have it! I'm sure there's a lot more things I'd like to accomplish before I die, but here are 15, in no particular order. I hope to be able to do these things one day, as life is so short! Guess I'd better get started!!
