Here is an update to my summer post on the plans I had. It has been a whirlwind! Selling our home and purchasing a new one should have been the only 2 items on my list because it took up most of our time!
From purging to staging to showings we are POOPED!
Now interestingly enough, just because an item is crossed off doesn’t mean that I’ve “arrived”. It just mean that I attempted to accomplish that goal. We still have not found a church home, but we made a commitment to attend more and get to know the people around.
I am stealing this post from my cousin, Funkidivagirl.
1. Get up earlier (I planned on it, but did not consistently do it)
2. Listen more intently. Less talking (This will probably always be on my list)
3. Pray daily and not just for others and their problems (I leaned more toward praying for my own problems)
4. Go to church more and develop more intimate relationships with those that God has allowed in my path
5. Drive down the Blue Mountain Parkway (We ended up taking the most direct route)
6. Learn how to preserve peaches or strawberries (see point #1 about moving J
7. Drink green smoothies daily (does weekly count?)
8. Stop at one of the islands along the coast of SC or GA (Didn’t make it there this year)
9. Snorkel for the first time (I REALLY wanted to, but didn’t have the time)
10. Rent a bike and ride on the beach
11. Go to a winery (Got the BEST Southern Belle Wine from SC Wineries
12. Learn how to corn row my daughter’s hair (The neverending story that are my stubby fingers)
13. Go on a date with my husband at least 6 times alone this summer (see point #1. Ok, so we went out ALONE maybe 4 times)
14. Go to Dominican Republic for my 35th birthday (No comment)
15. Make popsicles like King of Pops (Still going to do this one)
16. Focus on strength training (Gotta re-up my membership to the gym)
17. Take several water aerobics classes (see point #16)
18. Go to hooping class (see points 16 and 17 lol
19. Sell our house
20. Move into our new house
21. Teach my daughter how to play go fish and old maid
22. Take a cooking class with my husband (see point #13)
23. Take a train or bus ride up to Boston (Still want to)
24. Find things to do in the city related to music and GO (met Eric Benet. Now that was FUN!)
25. Go to Summer Solstice Celebration at Kimmel Center (Ended up leaving too late)
26. Take more pictures and learn more about my camera
27. Clean up my desk at work
28. Complain less and be more grateful
29. Take my vitamins daily
30.Slow down ( I will always be a fast tail girl)
31. Visit the co-op more (I did it once)
32. Eat more green leafy veggies ( gotta commit to this for life)
33. Go to the farmer’s market (this one too)

This is so cool!! I think I stray away from doing bucket lists because I'm afraid to see where I fall short. and I don't want to see all that i haven't accomplished. but i still think that it is a wonderful and beautiful thing!! That bus ride to boston sounds fabulous!!!! you just may have inspired me to draw up a list like this... we shall see. if i do, i certainly will share... it's Jenny from the block!!
Hey Jenny! :) It's so worth it! Look for more posts from MommaWheel!
Very ambitious list, dear cousin. But you are a person with tremendous energy, so I have no doubt that you will check many things off your list this quarter.
