.bucket update.

Three years ago I made a bucket list (you can read it here). Hopefully it's been updated! I added new things in a different color:

-read El libro de Mormon completamente
check. Multiple times.

--finish Preach My Gospel

check. multiple times.

--serve a mission

check. Spain Madrid Mission. Here's my mission blog. Got home July 2012. And I'd like to go back



--serve a mission with my husband someday

--get endowed
check. October 23, 2010


--get autism-therapist experience.
Semi-check. I worked as an ABA tutor with a cute little boy named Caleb. But I actually don't want to continue with ABA. I took a few classes from Dr. Brent Slife at BYU which have changed my philosophy about autism therapy. I believe in drama therapy as a great alternative.... which leads me to....


--SENSE theatre
It's now relocated to Tennessee.... which would be great except.... it's Tennessee.

But I've found a TON of programs all around the country that I'm looking in to!

check! Spain - the original Spanish-speaking country! 

--travel to Peru - attend the Trujillo temple dedication
--travel to Ecuador - and visit the Otavalo people
--travel to Bolivia -
--travel to Argentina
--travel to Australia - and take a picture to prove they spelled Sydney wrong


--travel to Nigeria

I was promoted to trainer before my mission... now I'm back there and demoted. =)

Wrote an EPIC 14 page progressive story with my friend Rich Ashton. Maybe I'll post that in a future blog.
