Baby Bucket List

Remember when I mentioned that I wanted to look for more newlywed blogs?  Well I found a couple of good ones.  I've been reading Newlyweds Next Door, and I can definitely relate to her, from her most recent post about post-wedding weight gain (and effort for loss), to trips with the in-laws, to her exploration of the joys of cooking and redecorating.  She had the brilliant idea of making a baby bucket list of everything that she wants to do before getting pregnant (big thank you to her for the great idea and for some of my bucket list ideas of she ever reads this). 

We all know I'm a little baby crazy.  But there are also a ton of things that Hubby and I want to accomplish before we have little ones.  So here's my first attempt at my baby bucket list...

Travel

(Hubby and I have done some of these separately, but we'd like to do them together)

Europe (including at least England, Ireland, Italy, France and Spain)

Africa (on safari)

Napa (for wine tasting, of course)

New York

Road trip from Los Angeles to Canada

Hawaii and/or Caribbean

Job

Work with my current employer for at least 5 years (I've got a year an a half to go)

Increase my work with wedding planners

Plan a few weddings by myself

Help my friends plan their weddings

Have Hubby get promoted a level at work

Home & Family

Buy a house (and decorate it!)

Start a garden (with fruits, vegetables and herbs in addition to flowers)

Hold a housewarming party

Have dinner parties for all of our friends

Host a 4th of July BBQ

Host Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter for our extended family

Cook dinner at least three times a week, every week

Create an earthquake kit for our home

Raise, train and love a puppy

Buy a new car

Purchase our wedding album

Create a will (a bit creepy, but necessary before a baby!)

Personal

Craft more often (learn to make beautiful things, on a budget)

Get a new camera and learn how to take beautiful photography (maybe take a class?)

Learn more about wine and wine tasting

Do something active at least three times a week
Go to at least one concert every year

Go to at least one play every year

Go skydiving

Train for a triathalon or a century ride

I'll update this post from time to time as old things are accomplished and new things come up.
