Tremendously exciting

Christine made a shoe box train for her dolls and stuffed animals. We don't live a tremendously exciting life, ( we do live a busy life) and I wouldn't want to. It's the every day things that make me the happiest. I got excited the other day because my rose bush that has never had one bloom on it since I planted it 4 years ago has several roses blooming. Tremendously exciting is good once in awhile, but it doesn't have to be something that spectacular in order for us to enjoy it, although we all of have some spectacular things we love or would love to do on our lists. Our tremendously exciting lists Josie's tremendously exciting list: sledding at Mt. Baker in the Winter, boating with friends in the summer, sky diving ( just once would be fine with me and Christine said she would go with me, but that would not happen) scuba diving, learning to fly, watching the kids on Christmas morning, roller skating ( I love roller skating) getting a pedicure, latin dance lessons to learn the Salsa, the Rhumba and the Cha Cha, going to a masseuse, working in an orphanage or helping in any way in a third world country. This one will have to go on our supercali.... list, and not because it isn't possible, but because I know once I was there I would want to stay, and I can't really just up and move with the girls. Relatives would not be happy about us moving so far away. You will understand why this goes on our supercali..... list after you read Christine's list. Back to the list; sleeping under the stars, in the sand, on any beach. Having a guy in my life for the last 5 years would have been tremendously exciting. Some would be more exciting than others: I would probably list learning to fly as a little more exciting than getting a pedicure, but getting a pedicure is something that I can do occasionally, twice a year in the summer. Flying lessons are not in the budget, and even if they were the money would go towards something of a little more importance: Ashley's education, groceries. I'm kidding, groceries are always in the budget. Christine's tremendously exciting things to do: going to the waterslides, swimming in the pool, boating, flying to California (she loves to fly) so she can play on the beach every day, going on a ferry, the county fair, and something she hasn't done before (I think maybe 4 people have) but would love to do. She wants to go inside Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat. I told her years ago that going inside the Ark would be THE ultimate experience. I think the Ark will go on our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious list. I think Mary Poppins would agree. Ashley's list: photographing new scenery, going to rabbit shows, (she wants to go to the ARBA National convention in texas this year, keyword- wants. She hasn't gone to any shows outside of Washington State. Judging rabbit and cavy competitions, a trip to Japan, 4-H special events and redecorating rooms. Nicole's list: her boyfriend, shopping and traveling to far away places.
