  1. Can I just say your list of aspirations far surpasses mine, Lindsey! You put me to shame. I made a preliminary list for myself and the three I cam up with initially were: remember to breath, don't yell at anyone, and always have a paper bag on hand in case the urge to vomit is too great. P.S. I wouldn't worry about learning German if I were you. I never ever use mine. Heck, I can't even find a German restaurant in the last two states I've lived in. Cross it off your list and simplify life (per Elder Uchtdorf). :)

  2. Haha. Emily your comments make me laugh! My list is substantially different from yours because I don't have 2 kids and I'm not pregnant. :) You've got to live it up when your single right!?

  3. I loved your list, Lindsey! It's inspiring and makes me want to set some goals, too. I hope you achieve every single one of them. And if you want to brush up on German, visit me. We have the longest-running German band in the US and you can go out to eat at a number of German restaurants, including the Little Gretel a mile from my house.
