Bucket List

During our engagement, one afternoon Jer and I sat in the starbucks in West Chester and started brainstorming. Each of us coming up with a list of 50 things to do before we're 50. At first it was just a fun idea, a way to have ambitions and to pursue fun things in life, dream a little. But it just hit me as I am writing this post that the Lord does call us to not be passive (favorite word of the week) christians, but to make plans, goals, ideas and enjoy our time here on this earth. I loved also getting to learn more about Jer and the things he would love to accomplish.

Psalm 20: 4 "May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!"

So, here are a few on my list. The first one is already crossed off. :)


1. Marry my best friend, Jeremy Bowers.
2. Have a pet that is not a fish.
3. Sew curtains.
4. Have my own vegetable garden.
5. Memorize a chapter of Romans.
6. Participate in a service project, outside of the church.
7. Make applesauce with Traci.
8. Ride in a horse drawn sleigh in the snow.
9. Start a tradition.
10. Drink Starbucks in 5 major US cities. (philly)

Whats on your bucket list?

I crossed off plant a weeping willow tree. Mick surprised me the other week, and planted one near pond2.

Awesome idea! We've discussed that topic many times, but never taken the time to write it down. We'll definitely have to do that! :-)
