Happy Birthday!!!! I hope your day is fabulous and relaxing:)You have done A lot. I like this list, maybe I wil wait until my Birthday to do it too.
I've seen this list on a few blogs. All those world traveler ones that I haven't done bum me out too much to post it myself ;). My empty passport is a sore point.
At least you have a passport.....mine has now expired with no reason to get a new one in my future!
All the world traveling happened when I was working, still single, and had the money to go and lack of responsibility to keep me home!
And there are certain things on that list that will never be in bold.... :) I bet you can guess one, that for you WILL be in bold!
Happy Birthday my dear! I hope the day was full of fun for you! You went skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee? That is awesome! I can only hope to be as cool as you are one day. I'm also going to look over your list and see what I'm done! Happy Birthday again! Love you!
You have seriously never sold girl scout cookies...and people think I am weird...hehe
awesome list! you have done lots more than me.
Hope your b-day was great!
I'm stealing your list, lady! And I may even reveal your age. . .just kidding. Maybe. . .
I would love to say that I walked in Jerusalem. Maybe some day. You have done some great things.
chicken pox twice? What's up with that. You've done a lot, good job and happy belated bday.
Wow! I think I am going to make up my own version for my birthday. We are blessed to say we can read and have indoor plumbing but we read a list like that and feel like we've never been anywhere! I hope your birthday was great!!!
one more question. How did you get the picture link on your sidebar for your family website. I want to do that for my photosite.
Look at that full life!! And really, you've never done karaoke? We need to remedy that.
I can help you see the Alamo in person!!!...but you have to come here!!!...it has no basement by the way....
