2012, bucket list, Children, family, God, hope, love, Relationships

Goal: Someday, I want a family… husband, kids (Probably no more than two, but we’ll see when we get there.) To traverse that path of chaotic relationships. To see life in a new way…

Reason: I don’t know… maybe it’s because I’m a girl, maybe it’s because I love small children. Maybe it’s because when I see people like my grandparents who have been together for over 50 years I think, I want that too.

Deadline: I’m gonna a take a leap here and not set a deadline… because seriously, you can’t force these things, you have to wait for God’s timing. But in my dream world, I’d be married by the time I’m 30.

TBL: Write A Memoir

2012, books, bucket list, life, Writing

Goal: To record my life in the form of a published book. Published being the hard part.

Reason: I love reading memoirs, for the same reason I enjoy reading blogs. Because they offer a better insight into someone’s life than the everyday conversations we have. It also allows me to read about people I don’t know… and hear about the crazy, real-life stories they’ve lived. Like anyone else I like to think that my story is unique, that no one else has the journey, but I also think that every single part of my story is relatable to some one else. I love memoirs because I see that despite the differences in our individual stories, I can also see similarities binding us together.

Deadline: I would love to write multiple memoirs, each discussing various areas of my life, or eras… but I am much more likely to write just one. So my deadline for this single memoir is by the time I am 65.  And that’s to be published, not written. The biggest concern is that I’ll write a memoir and no one will publish it, but I guess we’ll deal with that obstacle when we get there.

TBL: Quilt

2012, bucket list, family, Mennonite

Goal: To make a quilt. Well, actually several quilts, but let’s just start with one.

Reason: Maybe this comes from my Mennonite Background, but it could also just be that I see beautiful quilts at the Relief Sale every year and wish I could make something that cool myself. I also prefer quilts to comforters… so that could be part of it. I have 2 quilts, for example that I have laying around at the moment, a yellow one (made from Kenyan fabric) and a giant green one that my great-grandma made out of fabric scraps.

Deadline:I’d like to make a quilt by the time I get married… but seeing how I’m not even dating anyone at this point that doesn’t really give me a good timeline now does it? So let’s just say by the time I’m 24… that’s almost 4 years. But I’d also like to make one for my first child (or one for each of my children… but that’s getting a little carried away, isn’t it)
