50 before 50

So a bunch of people have a 30 before 30 list.

Yeah I don't care about that, I go big.

So here is my 50 before 50 list.

Not of things I want to accomplish....

I want to visit 50 countries before I am 50!

{source}

(and I also want to decorate my house with this. I am in LOVE with it. I could buy cute pins and stick them in the places I have gone!)

Here is what I have accomplished in the last 11 years.

1. France
2. England
3. Switzerland
4. Germany
5. Ukraine
6. Liechtenstein
7. Austria
8. Italy
9. Vatican City
10. Greece
11. Monaco
12. Slovakia
13. Czech Republic
14. Ghana
15. Nigeria
16. Haiti
17. Jamaica
18. Mexico
19. Cayman Islands
20. USA
21. Albania
22. Peru
23. Canada
24. Puerto Rico (coming soon)
25. Barbados (coming soon)
26. St. Kitts (coming soon)
27. St. Lucia (coming soon)
28. US Virgin Islands (St. Maarteen &St. Thomas- coming soon)

So now I need 22 countries in 24 years and 4 months.

I wouldn't be opposed to living somewhere else while Jon was in school or taking a year or 2 to travel the world doing humanitiarian trips. Either way I am not picky, Jon I hear Grand Cayman has a med school, we would have lots of happy visitors!

I could start with 30 before 30, that is only 2 more in 4 years.

Totally Doable.

Are you hearing this Jon?

Totally doable.

I will start saving, who needs to eat/go to school/ pay rent/ pay for gas/ have clothes.... traveling is SO much better. If you would like to contribute please feel free to contact me. I accept: Mastercard, Visa, Checks, Cash, I.O.Us, skymiles, plane tickets, hotel points, free vacations, etc.

be not afraid.

In roughly 41 days I will be sitting on a beach that has the above sign posted.

No I am not afraid,

I am FREAKIN excited.

39 day until departure!

Yes, Charlie Sheen I would like to be....

Winning!!

I want to win the family bracket

(come on Uconn, LOSE!!!)

I have a lovely little dress I want to purchase with my winning $$$$

I want to win this give-a-way.

If you enter and win please give the prizes to me since I am directing you to it.

How about you just skip entering the give-a-way (so I have a better chance of winning) and just do the most important thing...Help about these people by clicking here and using as many email addresses you have to vote.

(I made Jon do it too, ok so I actually tried to use him email without asking but I think he changed his passsowrd so I had to ask him... sad, apparently he doesn't trust me )

The voicemail

Cute little E called me the other day and left me a message saying she got her cast off so I could take her swimming now.

(I promised her a few days ago that I would take her to a cool pool as soon as her cast came off.)

We played voicemail tag for a day or two and then planned on next saturday. Well I ended up getting off work early yesterday so we decided to move up our play date. We took her and Katie babe to the South Jordan rec center, when we walked into the rec center E ran over to the window and was SO excited he could slide out of and alligator's mouth!

Katie babe just want to walk around the water (since she could actually touch). Jon and I both enjoyed our time with the little squirts and by the end of the day both Katie babe and E were cuddled up next to Jon on the couch and didn't want to leave.

Aubrey in numbers

1: Number of men (non family) I have said "I love you" to.

7: Number of cupcakes I could eat in one sitting

(ok I don't really know but again it sounds like a good number)

(Speaking of cupcakes: right after I typed this I got a text from my mom with this picture. Apparently they are making cupakes to celebrate baby Juice's birthday, she is turing 2. I asked Bridget what child names their child baby juice and she responded with " a health conscious one")

My mom said Justin and Josh were helping which reminded me of this picture.

3: enjoy the frozen treat of goodness.

Crockpot Spicy Chicken

4-5 chicken breasts

3/4 bottle of Frank's buffalo sauce

A little girl time.

Friday after work we had a little girl time. Thanks to my mom we went and got pedicures and out to dinner. Emri picked out the design on both my mom's toes and mine. Luckily she was pushed in some sort of directions or else... my toes could have been pretty INTERESTING!I had these crowns and jewels left over from a YW activity and just knew E would love them. I was right. She had to decorate and wear 2 of them because 1 just wouldn't do.

First ESPN... now... This is what is on my other computer screen at work

(you know to keep an eye on my awesome bracket).

Yeah I know, I am disappointed in myself to.

Canada smells like Disneyland!

So this is how the last few days went...

Friday: We got a visit from a new little addition. He is SO cute!Saturday: We went to the temple and dinner with friends and Chase introduced Jon to the greatest thing EVER! (in Jon's mind). It is an app that Jon hasn't stopped playing with since he found out about it (thanks Chase- I will get you back by throwing you a surprise party one day, or talking about "girlie stuff" all the time around you) By Monday I felt left out so I did the unthinkable....Yes I downloaded the app too and am now connected to ESPN, Jon has never been more proud.

Monday also began the adventure to Vancouver.

We stopped over in LA... yeah I know it is out of the way

We saw this place...

(happens to be right next to the gate where the VIDA peeps and I spent hours hanging out on our way home from Peru)

Bridget wanted to be in the pictureand act as "American" as possible.

Another place that brought back memories... this is outside the international terminal at LAX, spent a lot of time here also. Didn't take any real pictures in Vancouver, but the trip went something like this....

Arrive.

"Canada smells like Disneyland"

(we walked out to baggage claim and it smelled like they were making waffle cones, freshly baked waffle cones... for some reason this just came out of my mouth when I smelled it.)

Meeting.

Was told B and I were entertaining.

decided we would have a "peanutbutter off" more details to come.

Rain.

Walking.

We were also told we should take our act on the road.

Not to thrilling, but hey work never is.

Today I woke up to a surprise at the top of my stairs.... I am so glad Harry can still find me!

He has consistently stayed in my top 10 favorite men over the years.

Jon. Dad. 3 brothers (can't name them in real favorite order of somebody might get mad) Grandpas. Harry O'Clancy...

To make my mom proud, and to humor myself a bit I dyed my lunch green (eggs)

and thanks to Harry....

I will be drinking from this all day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
