And while I do want to do all of these things, the item most important to me would be to follow God's will for my life...dancing in front of Bel-Air and having Liz Waage do my hair are just for fun!

"Dance in front of Bel-Air" Explanation please! "Have all my own teeth when I die", I'm so proud of you I could cry! What's up with the sky diving, shark, bridge jumping? Great Post! I hope you don't mind but I think I'm going to steal a few of your list and then post my own.
P.S. Planning everything a week in advance isn't a big deal, it's seeing it through that's difficult. I know you can do it!
I love this list. Good thing you're young - it's all right before you!
My Bestest Friend in the World I Love you and your Craziness... LOL Remind me to be on vacation when you go down with the shark and by the way dont try to pet it cuz you ain't get my arm as a replacement. I wanna do the "Liz Waage Do" with you some time that would be some interesting stuff LOl.
Wow girl!! This is an impressive list... now this is what you call "LIVING." I noticed this post dates back to 9/ll so I bet you already have some of these crossed off. There's only one life to live so LIVE IT FULLY!!! It reminds me of a journal I gave to Emily Wilder for her (14th?) birthday. I put a bunch of notes/instructions in it on how to really live life. I love love love this post. You can do it girl!! Love you too!!
Thats cool!! I love this list! I want to make my own now!!! AND heeey when you are giving out those hundreds I hope I am standing next to you!!! HAHA! ;)
I have also always wanted to adopt a child and write a book!!! Do you like writing? I am always trying to meet other Apostolic writers! Heeey If you have a chance come check out my sight... maryfranceswriting.blogspot.com
I visited you place this morning! I am over 50 and made a "Goal" list. I am "marking" things off,too. Enjoy what God has to offer! Lord Bless You! Sis. Debbie from Beaumont, Tx.
