Yesterday, I turned 26. To most that might not seem that old, but to me, it's SO close to 30. Somehow 25 was in a realm of it's own, but 26? Very close to 30.
So, I thought I would reevaluate my "bucket list," and chose some goals that I would like to accomplish before I turn that dreaded 30.
(a few of these are not from the bucket list and several of these I expect to complete during our time in the States this year!)
1. Have one more child
2. Be debt free
3. Go parasailing
4. Swim with dolphins
5. Have 5,000 in savings
6. Send a letter to the president
7. Receive a response from the president
8. Learn to play chess
9. Grow a sunflower
10. Learn and play golf with my dad
11. Throw a surprise party
12. Straddle state lines
13. Ride in a hot air balloon
14. See baby turtles hatch
15. Sew a Quilt
The first fifteen were all goals of mine, but 16-30 were goals Ian and I came up with on a recent date night that we wanted to complete together before I turned 30! It took alot off prodding and drawing out the answers from Ian, ha, but we finally came up with some. Many of them take advantage of the fact that we live in the Middle East.
16. Attend a Georgia Football game
17. Take a trip as a couple to Budapest and Vienna
18. Take a family trip to England and Scotland
19. Get scuba certified
20. Learn how to play the oud (a local Arab instrument, like a guitar)
21. Go on a dune bashing excursion
22. See the Western and Northern Emirates
23. Take a road trip to see the rest of the Arabian Gulf
24. Cross into Saudi Arabia
25. Take Grace and Sophia to Disney
26. Own a grill and a kitchenaid mixer
27. Learn how to make matchboos (a local rice and chicken or fish dish)
28. Watch all 21 James Bond movies
29. Take a calligraphy class together
30. Attend a marriage conference

Good list...and I'm 27. I hate it! If feels so old :(
HOW FUN! :D
Hope you had a happy birthday! This is a great list!
What a great list! You'll have to keep us posted when you accomplish these <3
I am sure you can accomplish many of these! Happy birthday for 2 days ago!
great list! I'm glad you're taking advantage of being in somewhere so different than the States...I'm sure there's much to take in!
I love your list! I think I need to make a short-term goal list like this too - I have my bucket list, but even that needs updating and adjusting, I think!
I love how you combined yours and your husband's bucket list ideas...and ahhh to be 26 again!!!
Ok, so I'm thinking you should bring Grace and Sophia to DisneyLAND so that we can see y'all! ;)
