5 things I want to do…

Thomas tagged me over the weekend, asking what are 5 things you’ve always wanted to do

I don’t know if these are things I’ve always wanted to do, but these are 5 things I really want to do (as of today)…

1. Spend at least two weeks visiting the UK (England, Scotland and Ireland) with Laurie.

2. Spend a week in New York City with Laurie.

3. Start a family :: aka have kids – (just don’t get any ideas that we’re planning on doing this tomorrow :-))

4. Freelance/work from home and/or own my own a business that supports my entire family so Laurie can also stay at home (and no I’m not interested in your pyramid marketing scheme). I’d love to see this as a regular paying gig on the radio (or a podcast), sharing people’s stories. Or — improving my web/video/media design skills so that I can make enough money to support my family with it.

5. Continue building real deep communities of faith.

In the process of building this list I also added a few more items to my life list over on 43things.com.

As part of the journey, I tag Laurie, Trucker Frank, Jessica, Brian, Michael, Kevin and Josh.

Tagged or not tagged, feel free to leave a list of the 5 things you want to do in the comment section below (or on your own blog)…

  5. I am entirely too fickle to list any five things I have ALWAYS wanted to do. But, five things that tonight, right this minute, I think I would like to do in this life that I have not the chance to do….
    1. I would very much like to travel with my husband to visit with our friends in the Great Lakes area and in Boise, ID.
    2. I want to be a published author.
    3. I want my extended church family to see the Holy Spirit in the Emergent/Missional Movement, and put aside their fears, for the sake of unity and the furthering of the Kingdom of God.
    4. I want to be more successful at scheduling my time, especially in regards to homeschooling.
    5. I want better communication in my home.
