Friends

Good friends are seriously hard to find. I remember in high school when everyone was like, "Oh we will be friends forever, we will always be in touch". Ok yea right..lol. Wishful thinking. I have one friend from high school that is still one of my best friends. She just came up to visit me these past few days on her way back to DC where she lives now and it was so much fun having her here. It just makes me realize how much I am missing out by not have girlfriends here. She has stuck by me from high school on when even my very best friends dropped off the face of the earth.

We talked a lot about getting older too. We are both married, we will both be 25 in the coming months and time seems to be going fast. As we were sitting around talking about everyone from high school we really didn't feel that much older than 18..well that is until my 3 year old started demanding apple juice and my 1 year old came up and pinched me..lol. Time does go really fast and there is so much I want to accomplish in my lifetime. I hope I get to do it all and I hope I get to see my kids grow up happy and healthy.

I guess the point is the older I get the more I miss just having fun. My goal for the next year is to learn how to have fun again. We've already started doing that a little with our weekend trips here and there, but there is so much I want to see and do. Luckily I have seen and done a lot in my life...I probably have at least half of my 'bucket list' checked off, but I still have some things left!

What I have left that I want to do:
1. Get a doctorate
2. Spend a Christmas somewhere where I can have a real white christmas
3. Take a tour of the White House
4. Ski
5. Go on a cruise in the Caribbean
6. Go to Alaska
7. Go up in the Space Needle
8. See the Eiffel Tower
9. Go to Greece
10. Camp in the Grand Canyon
