before i die
No, I’m not dying. Last night at the Price’s house, JR asked a group of us sitting at the kitchen table what one thing we wanted to do before we died. Most of us said something about traveling somewhere. I said that I wanted to take a eating tour of Italy.
Granted, I would still love to take an eating tour of Italy, but I just don’t think that I can take all the things I want to do before I die and narrow it down to just one. There are so many things that are equal to me that I want to do before I die. Thus I am making a list. As I think of more things I will post more, but this is my base list (not in any particular order):
- Hold my newborn baby in my arms
My own flesh and blood, a piece of me, and the life of my families (Henry and Earnhardt) continued on. All these things are wrapped up in this tiny package of a human life that will grow into many unknown things. I can’t express how I feel about it even now, and I haven’t even done it yet.
- Go skydiving
The exhilaration of jumping from thousands of feet in the air, the closest thing to actually flying like superman.
- Take an eating tour of Italy
Like every other type of food in the United States, Italian food is not nearly like it is in Italy. The culture, the sights, the authentic food. I would love to be able to actually eat with some Italian families who have lived in Italy their whole life.
- Visit the west coast (LA, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco)
I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve always wanted to go to California. Maybe because one of my best friends from childhood used to visit there all the time. Whatever the reason, I just want to do it.

Eric Henry has a blog, no way.
Even though at the Price’s I said that I wanted to learn Spanish before I die…
Holding your own baby in your arms sounds unreal. Like you said, I can’t even describe how amazing that will be, and I have no idea what it will be like. For sure on the top of the list of things to do before I die also.
