My 100-ish List

Trying to pass time until Kyle gets here (6 HOURS!) So I am writing up my very own "bucket list", or all the things I want to get accomplished in my lifetime. I got the idea from the blog Living in Yellow, which is written by a woman from my hometown (Middlebury!). We even went to elementary school together (GO MIDDIES!) So thanks, Erin, for the idea! :)

I have started this type of list multiple times, on a variety of different papers/journals/diaries/websites/emails to myself, but they seemed to get lost, or I just forget about them. I think a blog is a good way to get it down in writing and I can keep adding to it as I think of new ideas.
So here it is...58 things (and counting!) on my LIFE LIST:

1. Go to China
2. Adopt a child
   
3. Create life
