My Life List Pt. 1

posted on: Tuesday, January 6, 2009


Naturally, I'm a dreamer. Thankfully, I was also born to one. My mother is a dreamer and despite many odds, she's accomplished so many of her lifetime dreams and goals. At a young age, she taught me to cut out pictures of dreams that I want to see and do during my lifetime from magazines. From those pictures, we created our first "Dream Book" and filled the book with pictures and words of things we'd hoped to someday see, do, or have. Years later, I can now look at that first dream book that we created and I can put a check mark next to many of those pictures. Since then, I've made many dream books. Gratefully, I still have too many dreams. Many will be accomplished, and others may not be, but I cannot imagine a life void of dreams and goals. So here are a few. There will be many more to come.

  1. I love you Kaitlyn and I LOVE your blog! The frank but descriptive way you write is so fun to read! And I don't know WHERE you manage to find the perfect pictures all the time, but you've got a knack! They are awesome!

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with the police....ugh... It's so dumb that it's illegal....just the gov't trying to control something they can't tax easily. Bill and I are moving back to Provo in August, can you believe it? Are you still living up there or are you heading here soon?

    Love you cuz! Facebook me:)
