1. Build a Home. Granted, I only lived in that home for a little over a year, but it is still an experience I treasure. I will never forget the excitement of seeing the foundation poured or the fun of running around it with Anna Cate singing Christmas carols the week before we closed.
2. Become a Stay-at-Home-Mom. I loved teaching. I loved making an impact on students' lives and I treasure the friendships I made throughout those years. But, as much as I loved it, I hated even more leaving Anna Cate every morning in someone else's care. Although I do sometimes miss being part of the bigger world outside my doors, I am beginning to see how quickly time passes and how important it is that I am spending this time with my little girl.
3. Fly First Class. This one is just fun. I like the leather seats and getting a drink while everyone else boards. On the down side, it's hard to go back to those little seats and waiting in line for the potty after you've experienced the "good life" (wink, wink).
4. See the Grand Canyon from Horseback. We visited the Grand Canyon last Thanksgiving. It was beathtaking. I kept looking at it and it just seemed like an incredible painting - almost too beautiful to be real. And, it's also way too steep for me to ride a horse down into it.
5. Visit the Carribean. Matthew and I once said we were going to visit all the islands in the Beach Boys' song Kokamo. We made it to Aruba. The trip was a mixture of frustration, miscommunication, beauty and adventure. After that trip, I decided the song was catchy, but I was editting my "To-Do" list to just include the Cayman Islands.
The list included several other adventures that I had accomplished and encouraged me to add more. Next up - Taekwondo lessons.
Those are fun! I can't remember if I told you our family blog went private. So if you want an invite, email me at pocadots{at}gmail
