Our pastor talks to us about the idea of reverse engineering - planning your goals, and then figuring out what you have to do until then to make it happen. So in light of that, here are my 5 year goals:
1. Go to Italy with Ryan this fall
2. Take a cruise to Alaska
3. Go back to Europe and enjoy the Eiffel Tower
4. Have a great dog
5. Live in a home
6. Become LEED Accredited (Interior Design professional accreditation)
7. Become NCIDQ Certified (same thing, but harder)
8. Sing more
9. Plan and keep a surprise for Ryan
10. Know the bible better
11. Maintain zero credit card debt
12. Pay off all student loans!!!
13. Get all the Gillespies to move to Seattle
14. See Ryan's family meet Jesus
15. Visit Christi and Dan at the YWAM base in Crete, Greece
and oh, no kids. maybe in 6 years. we're waiting til Eva gets old enough to babysit - it's all part of "the plan"

So trippy. I was literally reading your mintylife list of things to do before you die and clicked on the link to your blog, only to find this new entry. Hooray for reverse-engineering, such a genius method to make dreams and goals reality.
Speaking of reality, Thomas is here next to me, trying to light the wood stove with a propane torch and succeeding at burning the hair off his arms. Yes, we have an explosive relationship.
Without further ado, here is your past list of life goals:
Remodel a home with my husband.
Lay my tile chunk from Cherry Hill in my new floor.
Own two or three dogs.
Buy a truck to take the dogs everywhere with me.
Find a guy that loves me so much that he's just bursting to hear what I'm going to say next.
Be an awesome mom.
Travel to Italy.
Learn how to cook and love it. (I'm scared I'm going to be one of those wives like on Everybody Loves Raymond where my husband hates my food.)
Sing in a nightclub, wearing a beautiful dress.
Go kite-boarding.
Heli-ski.
Learn how to snowboard well.
Beat my mom at tennis.
Never get a divorce.
Buy stock in Milano Cookies.
Have milk delivered to my bedroom.
Go to an all-inclusive resort with my honey.
Work on a cruise ship.
Meet Galen's wife.
Work at a camp - not in the kitchen!
Have somebody find my journal and think that it's genius.
Hang out with a tiger, like pet it or something fun. Or ride it even. Who needs a car?
Bless someone anonymously so crazy that I can't believe it actually worked.
