Tell us about five things you want to do before you die....

Everyone has their own bucket list right? Being that I am only 29 mine you can imagine that mine is alot more than 5 things... So I picked the top ones...Now just be warned, I am a relatively simple person, I don't want to do anything crazy like jump out of plane, or swim with sharks.... Mine are more about moments than scaring the crap out of myself.

#1. I want to see my kids grown, accomplished and happy. Each with their own bright future ahead, living their lives, accomplishing their dreams and becoming the people I knew they would.

#2. I want to travel... I want to visit every state in the U.S., then explore all over Europe. I want to visit every country I can. Learn about all cultures, see all the history & beauty that the world has to offer. Spain would most likely be my first stop, then Greece, followed by Italy, then its where ever my suitcase takes me.

#3. I want to own my own business. I want to own a quaint little shop that sells items from antiques to handmade goods. I want to offer delicious homemade desserts with tea. I want to have a little outdoor area that people can sit, drink their tea. I want to own it in an artsy little town with alot of tourism...

#4. I want to have a re-do of my wedding,  new groom and all... I want to have it in a vineyard, down a row of grape vines, lit by candles & white lights. I want a beautifully set table, long enough to seat everyone we love. I want a quiet band to play love melodies in the background while everyone drinks wine & dances. I want to wear a simple white dress. I want a photographer that can capture that kind of magic. I want to read vows written by us, in our own words.

#5. I want to spend every second weekend of July for the rest of my life, sitting on a blanket in Hartford, CT, listening to live Jazz music under the stars at the Hartford Jazz Festival. I want to spend the days of this weekend touring Hartford & visiting all the beautiful gardens, architecture, restaurants and culture. I want to drink my wine at the roof top bar within walking distance of my hotel. I want to be in this place because it was where, I believe, I experienced true happiness for the first time.
