  1. Run a marathon (or at least a mini)
  2. Retire to a fancy beach old-people-resort-place
  3. Raise happy kids. I used to always wish for healthy kids, but now I just pray for happy. 
  4. I run a charity that supports foster families, and I'd love to make it state-wide instead of local 
  5. Become a wedding officiator 
  6. Travel to the far east
  
  Not necessarily bucket list, but I also really want to teach my kids to love the outdoors and camping. I always enjoyed it so much as a kid. Especially our oldest, who is autistic, he really connects to nature.
  
  ETA: DEBT FREE! How could I forget this one? We're about 6.5 years away, but we have a plan!  

  Married DH : 7/7/12; 3 fur babies (2 dogs and 1 cat)
  DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18
  FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!

  1: Run fifty half marathons but the time I'm 50 (two surprise pregnancies are really putting a damper on this plan)
  
  2: Travel. Starting in Europe. Then Asia.
  
  I'm sure there are other things, but nothing is really jumping out at me.
  
  Oh just kidding, lol, orgasm vaginally. (It's a myth I tell you)

  @firefliesandfjords, have you ever been out here to Zions? I haven't done the Narrows but I did hike the Delicate Arch. The entire southern half of Utah is just gorgeous with all of the red rock.

  @sparkymcgeee I have been to Zion once! But I was pregnant with my first and dealing HG at the time. We were in the process of moving from California back to Iowa, and we stayed overnight there. I was there during a fluffy day, so I was able to do the Riverwalk and Emerald Pools, but that was it. I was pretty disappointed, but can't wait to go back some day! Whenever we go back to California to visit my husband's family, Utah is my favorite part of the drive. So beautiful.

  @firefliesandfjords, I didn't grow up here so it's always incredible to me. Like I'm literally staring at snow capped mountains against a beautiful blue sky right now and I just can't get over the beauty of them. As long as the snow stays up in the mountains I'm good. You should hit up northern Utah on one of your trips. Just to see the Wasatch Range if you haven't already.

  1. Start our annual travels again. For 8yrs in a row we left the country - 6x to Europe and 2x to asia. Ever since DD was born we've only done a few US trips. Planning to head to Europe in the spring to kick this off again!
  
  2. Find our dream house. We have a nice house now but want our forever home. Been looking for 3yrs and hope next year is it!
  
  3. Have a happy, healthy family. While this is third on my list it is definitely priority 1!
