- Visit the Biltmore House, or at least plan the trip
- Take a
Hot Air Balloon Ride, or
plan it!So this is the most "interesting" one so far. Shortly after I posted my list, several of you noticed that there was a Living Social Deal for a hot air balloon ride. Just know that I've gotten my tickets secured and I'm thinking we'll make the trip in late summer/early fall of 2012. To me this was God providing for me. I "put this out there" and God made a way for me to get it. God always makes sure that our needs are met, but sometimes provides for a few wants as well. God is so good! Derek joked that I should have put win the lottery on my list!
So, that's 5 down, 25 to go with just over 6 months left. I've gotten a good start on my list so far, so I still think I'm on track.
In other news, if you've been following the blog closely you will have seen that we've met with an architect. We met with a builder yesterday (Halloween) and we are beginning the process of figuring out how we can gain square footage for our growing family. It has yet to be determined if we will add on or move. It's an exciting time in the Osterhoudt Family, that's for sure!
