Things Done in 2009
Last year I made a list of 100 things I would like to do before I die. I published it on December 31, 2008. In the last year I have accomplished some things. I would like to have accomplished more, but I hit a couple of biggies! And there are wonderful things we did this last year that weren't on my list.
Added awesomeness:
1. Going to the beach with someone who had never ever been before.
2. Going to Sea World for the first time.
3. Petting a koala bear.
4. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef.
5. Petting a kangaroo and a wombat.
6. Watching my daughter hold a python without fear.
7. Having my first born son turn into a teenager.
8. Watching my daughter start her first business.
