The "Before Matt Gets Old" List

 
I just finished reading my brave cousin Kari’s post on rock climbing. She said that rock climbing was one of the things that was on her list of things she wanted to do before she died, and it took me back to a conversation that Matt and I had last week.

We were lying in bed, flipping threw the channels, when we stopped on the show Little People, Big World. It was the episode where the Roloff family is in Hawaii for a family vacation. The family goes on a number of adventures including a zip line tour. I was watching these people zip through the jungle, and I looked over at Matt and said, “I want to try that! I bet I could that. You would just have to carry me. There are too many stairs.” He looked at me and said, “Nancy, I think that you need to start making a list of top 10 things that you would like to do before we get old. In 20 years, I don’t think that I will be able to carry you all over the place.” I calculated that in 20 years Brad will be 27, and he will be able to carry me. Matt doubts that Brad will want to still go on vacations with us.

Nevertheless, I have not written my "Before Matt Gets Old" list, but it just makes me wonder..... Do you have a list of things that you would like to do while you are still young? What are they? I might have to add them to my list.
