I decided to make myself a Bucket List.
In honor of 100 post, I came up with 100 things I want to do before I die.
I have been extremely lucky enough to go after what I want, and I hope that never stops.
So here it goes!
For those of you who do not want to read 100 things about me, I will provide you with a few pictures along the way!
Oh, and if you want to do any of these things with me, Id love that.

I want to be on the price is right too, I want to come when you go!!! Great list!! You inspire me to be better too! Thanks Chelsea
Love this post Chels!! It is inspiring...it makes me want to make a list of my own. I hope you get to cross them all off...and if you make it to the White House give Obama a huge hug for me & tell him I am his biggest fan.
Awesome! I love it. My hubbie's sister helped at an orphanage in El Salvador for a few months and loved it. If you went there it would help with your Spanish :) That is definately on my list.
I've been wanting to learn spanish and sign language (and latin and french) forever!! I've been planning on buying ROSETTA STONE but if you end up taking a class, I'd totally do it with you.
As for Sundance, I'd also be totally down with that! Let's go together to the next festival! Is it a date?
I love that you did 100 things you want to do instead of the '100 things about me' post. This is for more original and interesting to read.
Love this Chels! I've been to the Price is Right! Totally worth it, you need to go!
Side note on #96: Drink bottled water. Forget about going "green".....ha ha
I'll go to Bora Bora with you!
What a great list! Now I want to make a bucket list of my own! By the way, thanks for checking out my blog! I'm going to add you to mine...hope that's ok!
First of all...can I just tell you that I miss you? I was thinkin about you the other day because we just got a puppy and I am starting to understand how you feel about Ecko...aren't dogs the best?? I loved the list!! Couple thoughts as I was reading over it...#1. I remember the performance you and Jeanette were in for ice skating : ) the figure skating goal made me think of it. #2. I'm with ya on the no biting your fingernails...it's so hard to stop once it's a habit...I still do it. #3 A lady I work with owns huskies and does sled dog racing kind of stuff #4 I know that you love alfredo pizza...I just learned how to make it from scratch this year...if you want me to teach you or give you the recipe, I totally will! #5 I'll make a quilt with you!!! : ) #6 Seriously, awesome list...lets get together soon! : )
