Bucket List {Listable Life}

 Mornin' Y'all!

Today I am linking up with Nicole from Moments that Define Life in her listable life series because I think this is a fun way for my readers to get to know a little more about me. This week's prompt is sharing  5 Things on My Bucket List,  so here we go!

As I sat down at my computer desk for a moment and thought about my bucket list, I suddenly realized that I have never taken much time to actually consider what I would put on it. Or even write them down for that matter. I mean, I set goals for myself all of the time, but I've never sat down and created a list of things that I'd like to do before die.

Crazy, huh?

So.... after much thought, here is what I have come up with so far.

1. Visit the Nation of Israel

Ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of traveling, especially to Israel. I so desperately want to walk the very roads that Jesus walked. I want to sit beside the Sea of Galilee. I want to walk the road to Golgotha. I want to stand on the Mount of Olives. I want to see the Western Wall. If this were the only thing that I could check off on my bucket list, I would die a happy girl.

2. Run a Half Marathon

Now this one I should be able to check off at the end of this year because I intend to run the Dallas 13.1 at the end of October. I am currently training as we speak. If you'd like, you can keep up with my Journey to 13.1  where I post my training schedule. It definitely keeps me accountable knowing that my friends and family are checking up on my progress. And who knows, maybe once I have completed a half marathon, I will start training for a marathon. Ha! We'll wait and see about that.

3. Adopt a Daughter 

Adoption is a huge passion of mine and I'm pleased to say that Greg and I are already taking steps to make this happen. After much  prayer we have decided that our first adoption {yes, Lord willing, we want to adopt multiple times} will be domestic. Greg deeply desires to adopt an infant, which could possibly take longer to go through the adoption process, but we don't mind. We'd also like to one day adopt internationally as well.

4. Take a Photography Class

I have always been interested in photography and it has been a dream of mine to be able to take lessons. I used to own a Canon EOS Digital Rebel, but it was stolen on a beach camp trip with our student ministry a couple of years ago. I haven't been able to replace it yet, but would like to do so sometime in the near future.

5. Tour Europe 

Having small children at moment, kind of puts a damper on our travel plans {not that we really mind} so this one will have to wait for a few years. I have always wanted to tour places like Venice, Rome, Paris and London. I enjoy history and love ancient architecture- plus the shopping would be fabulous, don't you think?!

Well, that wasn't so hard! And it was kind of fun too! 

What are some of your life ambitions?
