What is one thing....

You have never done but would like to do in your life to feel 'complete?' Hmm lets make it easier. What are three things? They don't have to be sexual lol for once! But things you'd like to experience before you become dust one day. We are all married and most of us want kids though not all, so lets try not to use those.

I will go first.

1. Skydiving. I really REALLY want to do this because I am a TOTAL chickenshit and will probably have to be shoved out lmao, but DH is certified and its an experience I really want to have to say I DID IT!

2. Learn to fly a plane: Why when I cant even drive a car you aks? Well I love to fly-as a passenger and I think beign able to pilot a small craft would just be an experience.

3. Tour Spain and Italy but REALLy tour it: Like to fidn the roots and history. DH is Italian but has no sense of culture. I know my Puerto Rican roots pretty well but my mom's family are more prevalently 'spaniard' in the sense of their appearance (blue eyed blondes yep they are lol-Im the negrita!) and I want to just see what its like and see if I can hone both my Italian and my Spanish.

hmm....i would have to say

1) Skydiving...i've ALWAYS wanted to do it. i think it would be amazing.

2) TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL....i know it's a loose term..so let's think. Well, I've always wanted to learn how to surf & then go to australia(and surf of course lol)...where else...of course Europe. ALL of it...aaaand...i'd love to go somewhere totally serene & peaceful...like the Maldive islands or something....but stay for a while with my hubby in our own little place...ever see the beginning of 'The Bourne Supremecy'? yea - like that :) (before the girl gets shot of course lol)

3) I know it may sound super wierd to some of you...and normal to others i'm sure.. but i really dont care.lol. I can't wait to meet Jesus someday :) Ever hear the song 'I can only imagine' ??? that's exactly how i feel :) can't wait to just stand before him & thank him for everything :)

HELLOOOO i TOTALLY and COMPLETELY forgot my most important thing!!! To absolutely be a successful actress...then I want to travel to really small poverty stricken countries and make a difference.

I like your number 3! I wouldnt even have thought of that but um YES i would like to be able to stand before him...contrite of course -chuckles- very very contrite. MM i have never heard of that song but I really like the Carrie Underwood one, jesus take the wheel and one called Three Wooden Crosses. Ever heard that one? I love it because its such a surrpise ending to the song and really makes you realize is all it takes is wanting to be a good person and trying your best.

1) See the entire US-it will take me awhile, since I hate to fly and woud have to drive everywhere but I'm determined. DH & I have never even been to Florida-that's right, have never seen Disney :(

2) Have myself professionally recorded singing. Since I was a little girl, have always wanted to be a singer but was never able to overcome my shyness. So would love to be able to at least go into a studio and have myself recorded.

3) Write a short story and have it published.

CRAP HOW could I forget that!!! I want to publish the hundreds of manuscripts I have cluttering our attic and have always been to embrassaed to publish. I love to write-write in my head all day long and I have won competitions but I always submit annymously. Afraid of rejections I guess but ONE day..One day I WILL do it! Actually I started soemthing-fictional but based on my own bridal experiences and some of the stuff I saw here with the tensions and reactions and stories- chuckles.- If I ever publish it I'll let you ladies know. About a teacher who tries to plan a wedding her first year teaching. I know many of us can relate!

lol.c'mon now..who DOESN'T love a sappy or life encouraging country song...and MARTINA!! aah i love martina. Speaking of country..have u heard 'Maybe she's an angel'?? a little cheesy but the lyrics are profound.

This is a great one......

First I would love to do a Safari in Africa

Going back to playing the guitar and sticking to it

Meet Jewel

Jenn, I love 'Live Like You Were Dying' (Tim McGraw, by the way). It got me through a really rough time in my life-I try to think of it as my theme song :)

Hmmm, lets see!

1. To travel the world, see remote places and all the popular hot spots as well. I really would love to go to Egypt, Africa and Australia!

2. To learn as many languages as possible!

3. To learn sign language....

1. Go to Ireland. We want to go everywhere, not just the big cities but the little towns in the countryside. This is a trip that I have always wanted to go on. DH & I have wanted to go for our honeymoon, but we couldn't afford it because of paying for the wedding.

2. Buy the two cars that I have always wanted, silver Chrysler Seibring Convertible and a Chrysler 300 in a dark metalic gray, There are two major things that are keeping me from this. The first is $$$ and the second is I don't have my drivers license yet, I have my permit but not my license.

3. Start my own business and have it be successful. I have always wanted to have a cafe kind of place where people could hang out, play board games and relaw. I would also like to do something that is related to arts & crafts.

1. see all of america
2. Sky dive!! still waiting on that one lol i WILL do it in the next year!!
3. go on a cruise!!! DH said he will NEVER go cause hes scared it might sink LOL

ok since i'm a music FREAK i figured these lyrics would be appropriate for this thread after all..we only have on life to live - might as well make it worth while...

'How You Live': by Point of Grace...

Verse 1:
Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
IT'S HOW YOU LIVE.

Verse 2:
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
'Cause you can't get away
Just face it and you'll be okay

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Bridge:
Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin

Verse 3:
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end there's nobody else

Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live
