I have been feeling like a bit of a slacker for not posting more and then I saw this idea on my good ol' pal's blog and decided to steal it! I do that a lot...but this does fit with some things I have been thinking about - places I would one day like to visit and things I would like to do. The items in bold are things I have done and the ones in italics are things I plan to do. My brother, Peter, recently told me he would like to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro - sounds cool, so let's add that to the list! And one day I absolutely must visit Bora Bora and Palau. Other goals: run a marathon, get my Bachelor's degree (I start back next month!) and write the last great American novel (ha)!

Didn't we see Old Faithful erupt when we were in Yellowstone? If not, that was a major omission from an otherwise wonderful trip!
Good luck with your school, too. Are you going to the U?
I can't remember! I don't think we did - I know we looked at the geysers, but at the time I don't think we wanted to wait around, as we still had to drive back to SLC that day. What a great trip that was!!
Thanks! The U eventually, but I have to start back at SLCC for now. Maybe I will graduate before my kids?!
So cool that you're going back to school! What are you getting your degree in?
