Bucket List

So all this talk about the rapture has got me thinking about what I would like to be before I die and my bucket list. Below is my bucket list.

Kids
Trip to Paris
Trip to Ireland
Cruise to Alaska
Trip to Florida (Disneyworld and Universal)

Nate and I are planning to try to get pregnant next year so God willing that will be off the list. The trips to Paris and Ireland seem a little out of reach. But an Alaska cruise seems reasonable. The Florida trip we will probably have to wait until we have kids and they are old enough to enjoy it. So we will see if we can get all these trips accomplished before we die. Haha

What is you bucket list?

A picture of the Chicken & Dumpling as promised! :) YUMMY!

The Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook!!! The freakin BOMB!

Brown Sugar Coffee Cake
Stir-Fried Flank Steak
Monday Night Meatloaf
Schultz Sunday Supper Pot Roast
No-Fail Beef Stew
Chicken With Herbed Dumplings
Moist Cornbread
Seafood Bake
Tarte Tatin

I am going to start with the Chicken with Herbed Dumplings. Stay tuned for a picture tomorrow night. :)

Random things I have learned from other people, or from church! :)

Don’t turn away from the advice of others, as you know more now than you did at 18, you will know more at 30, 40 and 50.

Don’t judge peoples advice by their background for those that are the least are usually used by God.

Don’t over react when people try to guide you and harden your heart to them. You will never learn if you can’t take constructive criticism.

Treat other people the way you would like to be treated, and think about how your comments might be perceived.

Tithe 10 percent to your church. God doesn’t need your money, the church doesn’t need your money, but you need to give your money freely and trust in the Lord. God doesn’t ask you to tithe your time instead of money. To be a part of a church community is to service in addition to tithing.

Don’t deny the teachings of the Lord, every time you do you harden you heart and therefore make it harder to open your heart for forgiveness later.

21 reasons why cats are better than dogs! Written by a biased cat person!

Cats don’t need to be trained to go in the litter box.

Cats don’t wake you up so you can take them out to go to the bathroom.

Cats are independent. You don’t need someone to come over and watch them while you go on a weekend trip.  

Cats don’t piss off the neighbors with howling, crying, digging holes and jumping fences. My neighbors have annoying dogs, so this got added.

Cats don’t need daycare.

Cats clean themselves, no need to give them a bath.

Cats entertain their owners by chasing after laser pointers (tonight, tomorrow, or anytime).

Cats can live their entire life indoors.

Cats don’t expect to be taken for walks.

Cats rub against you to show affection.

Cats snuggle better and smell better than dogs.

Cats don’t usually beg for food. Pierce is the exception, he meows when it is feeding time. LOL

Cats purr.

Cats are usually prettier than dogs.

Cats are quieter.

Cats are less likely to attack random people or dogs and get you sued.

Cats don’t like fancy toys. Give them a glove or a milk cap and they will be happy. They also take better care of their toys.

Cats don’t chew on furniture.

Cats don’t bark at guest you bring to your place.

Cats are funnier than dogs.

Cats are a natural insect or pest repellent. 

GO TEAM CATS! :)
