AND, to keep this light and fun can we please not include anything TTC or Rainbow related? For most of us it's pretty clear that growing our families makes the top of these lists.

1. I want to take some massage therapy classes. Thanks to some awesome suggestions from @snegde Dh and I have really gotten into it and I think it would be a cool idea.

1) Enter/swim in/deep sea fish every ocean and major sea on the planet. (Surprisingly close to completing this) 2) Explore every National Park in North America. (Also surprisingly close) 3) Visit Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Svalbard. 4) Return to skiing, somehow. 5) Make a space flight/travel to another planet. (Hey, when I was a kid, this was very likely. The way they've mismanaged the space program, not much. But I can dream.

I would LOVE to return to skiing too. I used to be an avid skier but my Dh is terrified so I gave up on it. Would LOVE to ski with you You can watch me roll down the mountain.

Y'all have some great bucket lists! Here's mine:
1. Visit all the National Parks in America.
2. Go to Ireland.
3. Become a Grand Prix level dressage rider.(this is pretty much a pipe dream, but I'm keeping it on here)
4. Get my doctorate.
5. Go to the Amazon.

mflowers929

@jjbmstinco‌ - you do? That's awesome! I have some family over there and I want to go back so bad. But I really need to work on my French first. That's a more practical goal, since I live in the most bilingual province and my in laws don't speak any English...

@mlal78‌ - my brother and I had this discussion the last time I was over in Toronto, and we came to a conclusion - nobody actually knows how to drive on the highways, they just fake it lol

mflowers929

@mlal78‌ haha, MH WILL not let me drive when we're in the car, but he made me drive out of Toronto.

I live in New Brunswick, but all of my family is in and around Toronto. My grandparents are in Etobicoke, my aunt lives in Scarborough, my other aunt, uncle and cousins live in Don Mills and one of my cousins just bought a house in Port Hope. DH and I have actually decided to reevaluate where we are in about 2 years and we might move over there, since we're completely devoid of family where we live.

I've been juggling a few ideas. My MA research is about Bullying and I've been asked to present my research in an innovative and creative way. I was either going to develop an anti-bullying website or collaborate with a friend who is an artist and write a childrens book.

mflowers929

@PinkCamino‌ (I totally missed your question the first time around) it's a fantasy novel, with a focus on vampires and a "game" that their god came up with. It's a lot better than what I can describe without giving too much away lol

@wickedsugar‌ - I love visiting my grandparents. Etobicoke has such a small town feeling for being part of such a huge city.

foodie12rn

1. Travel the world -or at least see Italy, Greece, Alaska, Spain, and Ireland.

2. Go skydiving. I'm not sure whether I would actually be able to jump out of a plane, seeing that I have pretty severe anxiety.

3. Buy a Disney timeshare

4. Get my masters degree

5. Finish a marathon

@ashtog‌ - lovely pictures!! Your sense of how to use light is very pleasing.

Thank you! You and @PinkCamino‌ are making me blush!

I love them too!  You do boudoir too, or were those part of a wedding shoot?

Thanks! Yes I do boudoir a few times a year - it's one of my absolute favorite types of photography because between my hair&makeup ladies and myself we get to show these women how truly beautiful they are since most don't tend to see themselves that way very often

And where do you live/travel to :P ?

THIS!

OMG can you imagine a bumpie boudoir meet up?
