Life is the most precious gift given by God, but people rarely take the opportunity to live it to the fullest. School, work, and many other things take priority over personal time and goals. Sometimes life just takes off! Goals left behind on paper become nothing more than a forgotten to-do list. However, such lists exist and are real for many people in the form of a bucket list.
Sharing memories is very important to me, so naturally, being married is the top priority on my bucket list. I need to share my life with someone, to allow him the opportunity to experience life with me. The prospect of sharing life with someone you love is one of the most coveted treasures in life. If my husband feels loved with every breath he takes, then I will have accomplished this first goal.
It would be my next greatest hope that whoever I chose to spend the rest of my life with would turn that love into a family of our own. I would love to have my own family! I come from a huge family, so to start a family of my own is an immense need for me. I have taught pre-school for two years and during the days that I taught those little ones I would often think about how crazy I am for wanting my own little ones. However, I know that my children would feel loved and that I would be more than happy to care for them with every beat of my heart. I want to pass on the love my parents have showered over me and to take the time to love my own children with the compassion that only a mother can display.
One adventure that I have not experienced is a moose hunt. I want to go moose hunting with my father. Hunting runs in my veins. I share that passion with my father. We have hunted for many animals, but never moose. One day we will.
He is retired from the Navy and he still holds a deep love for the ocean. We share that love too. We would love to scuba dive off the Great Barrier Reef! Because some of the world’s most diverse and amazing sea life abounds there. Diving at that reef would be a wonderful experience.
Later in life, I would love to experience the things that different countries have to offer. Traveling is an enormous love of mine! I would love to travel everywhere. I admire the history of Europe, and I crave the food in Asia. Africa’s wildlife is captivating, and the culture in South America is enriching!
Although I have written this list of things to do before I die, I have no idea whether or not I will complete it, but that is not a bad thing. Life is meant to be lived! I want my life to be something I did, not something I wrote.
