Seven Sevens and a reason to celebrate

I was tagged by Carrie to do this meme:

1. Seven things to do before I die:-
Settle down near friends
Get to a healthy weight
See all my children grown and serving God
See a Broadway musical on Broadway
Grow old with my husband
Become a grandma
Mentor young women at church

2. Seven things I cannot do:-
Stop singing
Stop reading
Stop checking my email
Drive a stick shift
Sleep late
Play Spades or other bidding card games
Clean house as well as my husband

3. Seven things that attract me to my husband:
He has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh with me.
He is thoughtful of me and others.
He works hard to provide for our family and tells others that I work just as hard.
His smile
He puts up with my shortcomings, but encourages me to be my best.
He cleans house better than me.
