My Life to Do List

During the last little while, life has been hectic.  We have a lot of things going on in our lives that have kept us busy and prayed up to say the least.  With everything taking place and big changes happening, it’s made me take a step back and really think about how life can end at a drop of the hat.  Life if is only what we make of it, we are only given one chance to make the most of it.  With a lot of soul searching and not to mention tears, I’ve started my bucket list.  Maybe I’ll just call it “My Life to Do List”.  Here are a couple of things that I’ve come up with to go on that list.

• Compose a Cookbook

• Go on a hot air balloon ride

• Visit Napa Valley

• Write a Novel

• Stay in a hut over water in Fuji

• Loose 120 pounds

• Go skydiving when weight loss goal is met

• Visit every state in the United States of America

• Drive cross country on a road trip

• Walk on the shores in The Hamptons

• Photograph Yellow Stone National Park

• Enter a 5k and run the whole length

• Feel good in a bathing suit

Big Changes Are About To Start

We will be moving into the Hubs childhood home within the next couple of months.  With that said, we have a lot of “projects” to do and I must say I’m super excited.  To make the house our own is going to make us enjoy and treasure it even more.

The Girly Girl got to pick out her room paint color and needless to say it will be pink.  Not just any pink, it’s called “First Kiss” and I happen to think it’s pretty cool.  Granted it’s going to be bright but I feel as though we can live with it, plus she is 10 and is in love with all things pink.

There was an old dresser that was in our rental house when we moved in, which I revamped into what is going to be the Girly Girl’s dresser to match her room.  I’ll be posting before and after pictures in the next couple of days.

I’ve started going through and throwing away unneeded things that we don’t want to move to our new place.  We also took a pretty good sized load to GoodWill, which always makes you feel good just knowing that someone will be able to enjoy what we no longer need. 

As of right now, I’ve got 15 boxes packed and they are sitting in our living room.  I’m not sure how I feel about them sitting in our living room, but at least that shows me that I’ve started packing and getting ready for our big change.

We will be going from a rental house, to a home on five acres that will be ours forever.  I’m thankful that we are inheriting the property and get to move there.  It belongs to my father-in-law but they have redone his childhood home and moving next door into it.  Which opens up the Hubs childhood home and we are moving there.  It is an older home with lots of repairs to be done, but I have faith that we can do it and turn it into a home that is filled with our personal touches and love.

Lots of projects and pictures will be shared once things rolling…wish us luck!
