You may laugh at some of the things on my list, but this is my list on my blog. Chris (and my parents) may not be so happy that kids are so far down the list, but at least it made it on the list. And things change. I am giving myself eight years to complete this list. Some people may view this list as my long-term goals, and I guess maybe some of them seem far away, but everything is going by so fast. I makes lists all of the time. I am one of the most unorganized people on the planet, and I am also pretty good at procrastinating. Lists help me see what is most important. Sometimes things don't get done, and that's okay. Sometimes things happen out of order, and that's okay, too. And sometimes several things on the list happen at one time. It can be a little chaotic, but everything turns okay.

I like your list. And QD says it's bigboystyle every time. He says to tell you that numbers 2, 4-15 and 19 would be better to do BEFORE having the kids, and that particularly numbers 16-18 and 21 would be easier AFTER having kids. He's so wise, isn't he?
And he sort of NEEDS to work in a "rural" area to complete the terms of his scholarship/loan thing, right? So instead of moving to Minnesota or Mississippi or anywhere else, why not move closer to ME?! I live in a rural community, you know.
Yeah, he does need to stay in a rural area for the scholarship but if he wants to become a world-famous surgeon (ha, can you imagine?) then it will not be wise to go to a rural area. You understand. But it is possible to accomplish things at UAB. His grades are pretty good so he can pretty much go anywhere he wants, if he keeps it up and passes his boards. I would love to be your neighbor. I wish I saw QD more, it breaks my heart that I don't. We love the pictures, by the way, made my week. And if I were your neighbor I could bring you soups and desserts. I will have to talk to Chris about this idea....
QD had some great advice that I will consider. I am really hoping that I can accomplish most of this in about five years, but I procrastinate, so eight sounds good. And yes, QD is wise. He has no other choice, look at his parents :)
