Life List

Welcome to my life list! From time to time I have put together my “bucket list”, things I want to do in life before I die, and without fail, I lose this list. A few years will go by and I will see someone elses and go “wow, I should write another on!” only to lose that one as well. So I’ve decided to start one again.

This time I will post it here to share with everyone. To be honest, it is more so to avoid losing it again (I would have to be pretty unorganized to lose it on my own blog)! I will update whenever I think of something new, and will cross things off once they are completed.

Awesome list, Jennifer! When you get to #50, let me know, I have several great recommendations for you. #30? So, so fun. Prioritize that one.

We share a lot of these! Thank you so much for sharing. :)

I love your “bucket” list!
#3 – is part of the American Dream. As a licensed Realtor I definitely recommend using a Realtor, it makes the process so much easier for you as well as saving you time, effort, money, and possible heartache.
#10 – is amazing! My husband and I took our first cruise to the Mexican Riviera and now I can’t wait to do it again!
#29 – you MUST do at Tamarak in Idaho. I am so afraid of heights and this one is REALLY high and scared me to death, but I still had the time of my life! I think the whole world heard me scream as I zipped across the canyons. ;-)
#45 – one of the most beautiful drives you can ever take is down the Oregon coast. It takes you along the Pacific Ocean and down through the Redwoods. Do it when you can take your time and spend a few days doing it, there are lots of places to stop along the way. This should be on everyone’s bucket list!
#47 & #59 – are on my bucket list also!

I love your blog! Lots of great information!!

Keep it coming!! :)
