My Major To-Do list.

So my wise older sister Tasha laid some major truths on me the other day. I haven't told ANYONE this in fear that it would start riots, good and bad on both sides of our family, but I've been a little baby crazy lately and Ethan a little bit too. I feel like there is more babies around me now. Well maybe it's the same but I've just noticed more now. I talked to Tasha and told her about my secret. She didn't riot like some people would have, she just asked me if I was ready for my life as I knew it to end? She asked if I had made a list of things I want to do before we have kids. No. I hadn't even thought about it! I'm really glad I have her there to put things into perspective for me and pull me back into reality. Because when I thought about it, there is A LOT of things I want/need to get done before I have kids. Here's my list. This is partly for Tasha so she can see that her sister heart to hearts are being heard.

#1. Get my CNA certificate.

This is going to be a good start. Considering it's like less than a fourth of what the next one is going to cost. We were told I do not qualify for help because we make "way too much" right....

#2. Get my Medical Assistance certificate. This will be fun :) And hard. And expensive. And it will take a long time. BUT i'm super stoked because I get to go through Medical Anatomy again, and Medical Terminology again. I was a good egg and kept EVERYTHING I did when I took these classes the first time :) Including all flash cards, assignments and tests. I put them in my (as my family knows it as, or maybe just Whitney...) My great big book of everything Medical. Does anyone remember that cartoon where the kid has his great big book of everything? I know it wasn't pb&j otter... It was a animal show.... Anyways I don't remember. But that's where the name came from.

#3. I would LOVE to go to all these amazing places. Seattle, because that's where Ethan was born and it would be SO fun to go there. I'd even like to take Avis and Aaron with us! 

Disney Land. This one I might save for when we do have a child. It just seems funner that way....

This is the zip line in Park City Utah. It's right next to the Alpine Slide. I've been on the Alpine slide which is very very fun. My mom wouldn't let me go on the zip line. So of course that means I'm going to make sure that we go! My family has a condo there and so I don't see why we couldn't swing in a couple times :) I love Park City. :) It was the only other place we went on vacation other than camping. Lots a fun memories :)

Cruise to Bahamas. This WILL happen dammit! 

#4. New Volkswagen Jetta. This is going to be difficult. Because I have requirements for the car and so does Ethan. Some of them clash...
My list is: 
1. It can't be an ugly color. So any red, yellow or white cars is a no go. I'm thinking this color gray, a dark blue. Not a stupid "holy shit that's blue!" but a nice dark blue where you can't really see the brilliance of it unless it's in the sun, or black.
2. It HAS to be a 2007 or above. See Ethan wants to get me a 2002. NO! If I'm going to be driving this thing around for the next 8 years, it's going to be a newer car! And honestly, anything below a 2006 is ugly anyways. just... no...
3. It has to be a four door. To anyone who has ever tried to put baby carrier in the back seat of a 2 door knows just how big of a pain in the ass it really is...
Ethan's list:
1. "We're not spending more that $6,000 dollars on a car!" Seriously? Do you want a piece of junk?
2. "Why does it matter what it looks like?!"
3. It has to be a diesel. (I argree with this)
4. It has to be a manual transmission. (And I'm not referring to a transmission made in Mexico) Har. Har. Har! *ahem* anyways....
And here is where I find fault in his price range. You can't find a turbo diesel Jetta, with a manual transmission and four doors for under $6,000. If you can 1. there is something wrong with it. 2. WAY too many miles.
But I figure I'll get my way with the car and he will get his way with his truck. I'm not going to say a damn thing about his truck. You guys should hear what he wants to do to his truck. He wants to get the truck, It has to be a 2006 (because that was the best year of what ever truck it is a Cummings? idk...), with a manual transmission. Once he has the truck itself he wants to spend about $15,000 on "fixing it" So it's a real truck. So i figure in the long run, everyone is happy :) 

#5. Be in a house with a back yard. Now. This will only be temporary. We WILL not be buying a house here. EVER. We were looking at this house just the other night and it was 4,000 sf. And maybe 200 of it was the kitchen... Seriously?! I'm not going to spend a 200 grand on a house that doesn't have an amazing kitchen. So we will be renting a house until we can build a house....

There is my list. I'd LOVE to see this all done before we start poppin kids out. But honestly... I don't think Ethan will be gettin that truck ;) Just kidding! We're going to do all of this without going to far into debt. The schooling I REFUSE to go into debt for. And the car and truck will come one at a time. That is when we get our blasted trailer sold....
