Life List

I have friends that keep life lists, itemizations of all the things they want to learn, accomplish or do before they die.  I had never really wanted to put a list to paper, as it were, until today.  It turns out that while I was painting my fingernails, my college roommate was learning to change the oil in her car.  When she texted me her accomplishment, I was honestly a little jealous, which is why learning to change the oil in my car now tops my life list.
  1. Learn to change the oil in my car.
  2. Build a fence around my own yard.
  3. Cage dive with Great White Sharks.
  4. Foster dogs waiting for forever homes.
  5. Fluently speak French and Spanish.
  6. Hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
  7. Raise a family.
  8. Grow a garden.
  9. Cook okra gumbo like my grandmother.
  10. Make crawfish etouffee like my mom.
  11.  
    I realize it isn't very long, I want to keep adding to this list (and, obviously, accomplishing as much as I can).  I will update on my progress.
