Let's feel productive and proud of what we have already done.
What are the things you've already checked off of your list?
ETA: no cheating - you can't say "Married my best friend," "had a baby," "gotten pregnant." Yawn! We want to hear the unique things about everyone.
Not in TX any more! - Central PA

Re: s/o Bucket List GTKY
I studied abroad in Spain for 6 months.
Traveled as much as I could all over Europe during that time.
Got my DSLR camera and took a photography class.
Studied in Spain (been back twice already)
Took students to Spain
Been to Paris
Started reading a lot of Classic literature
Been looking into yoga, meditation, veganism and minimalism and I think it has done me well
Travelled to Australia by myself for 3 weeks
Finally got my learners (now to get my license...)
Passed the first part of my pharmacy tech regulation exams - 5 to go!!
Good idea...I was thinking of how much kewl stuff I have already done.
-sky dive (in college)
-graduated from college (1st in family)
-seen the atlantic, pacific, mexico, canada, france, england, new york city, orlando, denver, lots of american travel
-quit/fired from my career job
-bowled a 300
-and....got the guy I had a crush on since I was 16. I know you didn't want to hear about it....but it's true!
That is impressive!
Mine are boring- I guess I need to get on the ball!
Went to Italy for a program in college
Quit my job with my degree to do what I really wanted to do- start a flower business!
Rode a roller coaster (I was 20 when I did this- and I don't feel the need to do it again)
LOVE IT! Every time MH and I feel stressed he says "let's just move to Spain". It takes everything in me not to. I could live there in a heartbeat if the economy and unemployment weren't worse than ours right now. I studied in Oviedo in Asturias but have been all over. My favorite is Barcelona.
Visited 39/50 states and 7 other countries.
Finished my Master's and started work on a second one.
Completed three triathlons.
Bought a townhouse on my own.
Went skydiving for my 30th birthday.
Presented at multiple statewide conferences in my field.
Learned to cook quite well.
(It's nice to think about what we've actually accomplished, as opposed to what we haven't yet
I've done a bit, but still have a lot to do!
-Lived in Europe (still do)
-Travelled to 17 countries (goal is more than 50 and every continent)
-Went to Wimbledon and sat at Centre Court
-Experienced the Royal Ascot (still need to do the Kentucky Derby)
-Hiked the Mont Blanc Trail successfully
-Travel internationally in business class (still need to do first)
- Earned a Masters in Public Administration
-Have become a leader in my field and successfully, created, funded and launched a new programme.
-went on missions trips to Hungary, Romania and Peru
-been to a few Caribbean islands
-got my motorcycle license and a motorcycle
Studied abroad, traveled Europe
Lived and worked in NYC for a few years
One-week work trip to Thailand about 2 months before I got pg with DS, which was absolutely amazing
Started my own business and it has been growing steadily - never even really planned on this one, it's funny what career twists and turns we take.
This is random, but sticks out in my mind as something really memorable that I'm proud of - had a huge surprise 50th birthday party for my Mom a few years ago. We lived in TX at the time and not only organized it, pulled it off, and had tons of her friends there, she was totally shocked to see us (in PA). Cried, the whole works. It was awesome and I know it meant so much to her.
Another thing that I know I'll think of at the end of my life (even though I said no saying "had a baby") was TELLING our families that we were expecting for the first time. The reactions were priceless and it was one of the best days of my life. We had kept it a secret until 12 weeks and surprised them on Mother's Day.
1.) Graduated from law school and passed the bar exam!
2.) Visited the Grand Canyon
3.) Became a certified scuba diver and gone diving with sharks
Can we trade lives? Yours sounds much more interesting
Took DH to France.
Went to Ireland with DH.
Visited 10 European countries.
Completed a mission trip (Nicaragua and Costa Rica).
Moved to France for a year (actually I lived there 2 years total).
Went to Disney as an adult without kids (twice).
Went to the Olympics (as a spectator...just to clarify).
My bucket list is pretty much travel related because that is my passion.

Went back to school when I was 26 and got my Administration Diploma and Graphic Design Degree.
Opened my own business and is growing continuously.
Road trips to KS, OK, WA with DH without fighting!! (next year is AZ with a 9 month old!!)
I am the biggest scaredy cat so a lot of these may sound like no big deal. To me they were terrifying.
Learned to ride a motorcycle, rode my quad on a black diamond trail, learned to snow and water ski, learned to sail and sailed to Ana Capa (off the California Coast), ran a half marathon (1 trail, 1 road), traveled to the Carribean, snorkeled and saw 2 sharks, passed my stock broker license tests, purchased my first home at 24 yrs old.
