I was browsing through old posts from back in the day, like circa 2009. I found some interesting ones and some really inspiring ones too. One thing that I wanted to touch base on again was my
bucket list. I figured now would be a good time to stop and take account of the things I have accomplished on the list and determine what needs to be worked on. Do you have a bucket list?
1. skydive
2. travel to as many foreign countries as possible
3. adopt a child from a foreign country
4. move out of Florida, even if only temporarily This was accomplished September 2010 when I moved from Florida to Warsaw, IN after accepting a wonderful job and scouting out an apartment with the then soon to be Mr.
5. drive across country on no specific timeline
6. ride in a hot air balloon
7. cruise to Alaska
8. finish college (maybe) I did finish the degree I was striving for at the time this list was composed, but I would still like to further my education at some point. I guess this is a task that could never completely be done, who wants to shut and lock the door to education in their life? Not me.
9. buy a home
10. break 200 in bowling (HA) I have broken 200 once! The Mr. has too, he usually beats me every time. We both require one game to warm up though :)
11. go on African Safari
12. fall in love and marry my best friend Done and could not be happier! October 2, 2010!
13. take a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon
14. learn how to play the guitar (working on this)
15. change my own oil in my car I accomplished this once in Florida with the help of my good friend, Curtis. I thought it would be economical, but honestly it cost just about the same as having it done...so I pay someone to do it instead of getting dirty myself!
16. go to Hawaii Done, October 2010 on the most amazing honeymoon. Can we go back? NOW!? You can see pictures and highlights of our Hawaiian honeymoon here if you missed it!
17. eat Matsumotos shaved ice in North Shore, Hawaii Does it count if I had shave ice in Hawaii, but not Matsumotos? Let's not even talk about how many times we had it the week we are there. It is delicious!
18. see the cherry blossoms in DC
19. zip line in the jungle (Costa Rica, Jamaica, etc.)
20. run a 10k race through the mud When I composed this list I was training for this race and we did run it to the end. So many good memories were made at that race and The Mr. could not believe I did it when he returned from a month in Nigeria. I felt SO hard core! You can read about the race and see pictures here.
I know that my list was pretty short at the time, but I wanted to start out small and not be overwhelmed. I am happy about how much I have accomplished so far and might start thinking and talking to the Mr. about things we can add to the list. Do you have a bucket list, and if so what kind of things are on yours?
Have a great day! :)
