Bucket lists. We all have one, or at least we all SHOULD
have one. As annoying as the saying “you only live once” or “YOLO” is, it rings
with truth! Which is one big reason we are so excited for our Okinawa journey
that lies ahead. The things we will be able to do and see will be once in a
life time opportunities and I count myself blessed to be accompanying my
husband on this tour. Soon we can scratch “live in another country” off my list
J
This month has already proven to be an awesome month as far
as my bucket list goes. At the very beginning of the month I was able to attend
a taping for one of my favorite TV shows, The X Factor (read post here), and today I crossed
another item off my list….
Call me crazy but if you’ve ever been to an IKEA store you
would understand. This is like decorating, home goods heaven! We went in today
looking for a bookshelf that we can take with us overseas that will hold all
our many books, but we walked out with a few other things ;)
My post of the picture on facebook prompted more questions
as to what else is on my list, so I’ll divulge a few more that I WILL conquer
one day.
-Visiting Ireland
-Renewing our wedding vows at The Voodoo Doughnut Shop in
Oregon and celebrating with a maple bacon donut. Oh yes, it’s happening.
-having a flower bed in the front of our home
-NYC is on my list of places to go
-conquering Cupcake Wars J
-Visiting the Harry Potter set in the UK
-try sushi. I’ve never had it. The thought of it makes me
wanna puke a little bit, but I’m determined to make this happen when in Japan
-Visit the Presidential Library (GW’s)
-visit the 9/11 memorial in NY
-eat a cannoli at carlo’s bakery
-ride a Ferris wheel. Never done it
-stay in one of those underwater hotels at The Poseidon Resort
-go to a flea market
-go to a farmer’s market
-get my nurse practioner’s license. (one day, if I get motivated! haha)
Those are just a few. Some realistic, some if I win the
lottery. I count myself blessed to have done a lot of things so far and I know
the adventure that lies ahead in Japan will just add more to my list. (for instance, learning how to [effectively] use chopsticks!)
So awesome that I was able to visit this store today. May
seem random and crazy, but it was so awesome and I got to do it with my 2 loves
by my side J
Doesn’t get much better than this.
