Bucket list

So we all have heard the term 'Bucket List' in reference to things/events/places that we want to partake in before we die. Lately, I have given some great thought to what my top 15 bucket list moments would be and this is what I have come up with: (these are in particular order of importance)


1-Be on The Amazing Race (I think this would be so fun and would probably knock off some of the other ones below. Plus, I think Stephen and I are an AMAZING team and we could do really well at this)
2-Be on Fear Factor (I have a lot of fears and know that this would be a good way to move past those....I mean who wouldn't for free money?)
3-Move to Asia and be able to move around to visit all the different countries
4- Live on the Greek isle of Santorini for atleast a year (its the island with all the white buildings, blue roofs and blue shutters and from the movie "Sisterhood of the traveling pants")
5- Visit Russia for an entire summer
6- Have the chance to move our family to Spain to live permanently at some point and for any length of time
7- Go on an african safari
8- Swim with Great White Sharks (in a metal tank of course)
9- Teach Spanish to college kids
10- watch my children grow up, have kids, enjoy life and be healthy
11- Visit my grandfather's grave up north (I strongly believe that he is my guardian angel and is with me everyday)
12- Be able to sing in front of a group of people with success and confidence
13-Take our children to Israel (once it is a little safer to do so) to see all the history 
14-Take our children to Purgatory, CO to ski the same slopes I skied-year after year growing up! 
15-To witness the birth of a child (preferably my grandchild's, in MANY years from now)


Yes, I know that some of these might seem menial to some, but to me and for MY bucket list, they carry great importance and have great meaning! The majority of them have a theme: travel!! Growing up, I was very fortunate to have tons of travel opportunities with both of my parents (they work for southwest airlines, so it was easier for them than most other parents). Through them, they gave my brother and I our love of travel, new places, discovering new cultures/languages/foods etc. I have always wanted to travel the world and see what all it has to offer. Hence, the reason why half of my bucket list pertains to travel of some kind. Anyways, I think everyone should have a bucket list and truly think about what they want from life. It gives you goals in your adult life, other than having kids/getting married (which are very important and fulfilling, but everyone deserves to do things for themselves and I feel that a bucket list is prioritizing that). What are each of yours bucket list?
