1. Travel to Hawaii with the family.
2. Travel to Europe with the family.
3. Watch the girls graduate from high school and hopefully watch them graduate from college.
4. Walk Grace, Sarah and Mia down the aisle on their wedding day. Hopefully this will be on different days because I'm pretty sure my heart wouldn't be able to take it all in the same day. I suppose I should preface this wish with the idea that my girls marry someone that has their lives figured out and that the girls have grown into young ladies that are already living fulfilled lives.
5. Attend Aryel's graduation from college.
6. That Aryel will someday meet the guy that she is meant to marry and that I can be there when she gets married.
7. See Dave Matthews, or U2, or Coldplay perform at Red Rocks.
8. Go to the Grand Canyon with the family.
9. Visit Elizabeth in New Jersey.
10. Win a poker tournament at a Casino.
11. Travel to the Rain Forest.
12. Go to Australia.
13. Camp in Yellowstone with the family.
14. Visit Uncle Tim in Louisiana.
15. Play Poker in Atlantic City.
16. Watch the Angels win another World Series and attend one of the games.
17. Travel to Alaska.
18. Travel to Canada.
19. Play in a World Series of Poker event.
20. Go River Rafting again.
I'm sure there is more that I have thought about in the past, so I will have to add to this list later. Apparently, I really want to travel.

Tony, it was great to hang out again 17 years later.
I can check off #5 from the list. A couple of weeks ago Tracey and I got to attend Aryel's graduation from APU. It was one of my proudest moments as a teacher and dad. The first time I teared up, her mom was telling me about the award she had received the night before. She was voted by the professors, as the top business student in the graduating class of 2013. As her mom was telling me, I couldn't help but feel so proud of Aryel. She is an amazing young lady, and I'm very fortunate that she is a part of our lives. The following week we all went to her graduation party. It was great to just hang with her family and friends. Probably two of my favorite moments were when Aryel's mom introduced me to an older lady as Aryel's dad. The lady's expression was priceless. She was bewildered. The other memory that I will never forget is when Tonja said "I hated that pedigree project." The funny thing is that is one of the reasons why I have the relationship with Aryel that I have. She is a part of our family.
#19 is going to happen in 2014. I just won $1800 at Rusty's home game. The money is earmarked for the World Series of Poker. The home game league gets 50% of the winnings and I will get the other 50%. I believe I'm good enough to actually cash in a $1500 event.
