Lists...lists and MORE lists!

I'm a "list person"...I have lists for everything; to remind me to pick something up at the store, to remind me what I need to do for the day, to tell me where I put a specific thing, to remind me what NOT to eat and WHAT I should be eating...I also have them posted in random places with little "thoughts" and "smiley faces" to keep me thinking positive thoughts. About a month ago when I was watching/ listening to one of my favorite TV shows, they were discussing "Summer activities" and things to do throughout the state of Utah that could fill up your long, hot "summer days"....they suggested making a "SUMMER BUCKET LIST" of new things that your family would enjoy doing during the few "GOOD" MONTHS that we have in our state. I LOVED the thought of making a LIST of things to do and then getting to cross them off as I experienced them, a list of things to plan and look forward too, a list OF FUN activities (vs work and chores) to do....THIS LIST idea is a must for my summer FOR SURE!!

SO.....I sat down the other day and made my Summer Bucket List! Some of the activities will include the family, others won't (only because sometimes my teens "don't want to go" with me because they have "other plans"...therefore I will go alone if I must...but I will have fun and go none-the-less). I plan on taking pics and documenting our fun activities...so you my faithful followers can experience the journey with us!

Woo Hoo...such excitement is brewing around my house~

(actually its only brewing in my head...no one else seems to be that excited...just me)

SOOOOOO....maybe I'm a little "OCD" about lists, but hey, they get things done around here and 

hopefully this summer bucket list will make for a memorable summer, full of fun activities!

These are the things I am starting out with...I am sure as time goes on, I will think 

of more things and add them to my list. What I don't get done this Summer will 

be carried over to next years "Summer Bucket List".

I plan on making a new list each and every summer from now until.................who knows~

So let it be written....so let it be done~
