Lists, Lists, Lists.

I really just love making lists.  I guess that's the writer coming out in me, because my mama loves to make lists, too, and we're both big writers and English/grammar/spelling-people.

I love making to-do lists (well, sort of), "favorites" lists, and sometimes even grocery lists!

And I also like adding to my "bucket list".  These are things that I want to do before I leave this earth.  And I intend to try to do every one of them!

So here you go, my bucket list:

Learn a second language fluently



Have one of my books published


Visit China again


Visit and work in a Chinese orphanage


Go on a mission trip to China


Go on a mission trip elsewhere


Adopt internationally


Learn to sew


Sew one of my own articles of clothing


Sew an article of clothing for someone else


Make a snowman that is standing on his head


Personally help a family find their child/waiting child find their family


Climb a rock-climbing wall. (This has been partially done; I have rock-climbed, but it was a small wall--I'd like to climb a bigger one.)


Read the Anne of Green Gables series all the way through


Read the Narnia series all the way through


Read through the Bible


Visit New Zealand
