There are so many things that I want to do with my life and oh-so-many adventures I haven’t yet had the chance to experience. I have created a few different bucket lists since finding out what they were in high school. Some of these items on my NEW list are silly but some of them mean the world to me and if I never get the chance to accomplish them before I die, I feel like I’d be letting myself down.
The first bucket list I had I started back in 2003 and had goals that really only pertained to my life as it was then, in high school. One of my ‘dreams’ in 2003 was to be someone’s grad escort. I never was. Do I regret not being someone’s grad escort? Not at all. It’s funny how things like that seemed like such a huge deal back then. There were many things on my Bucket List 03’ that I have been able to cross off like fall in love, get married, ride a roller coaster, become a waitress (haha. I was a ‘measly’ hostess at the time I created the list, obviously), have a baby, go to California, etc. Many of the things on that list that I didn’t get to accomplish just have fallen to the way side over the years. Sky diving was a huge “MUST DO” for most of my life. In March of this year, I went indoor skydiving in Las Vegas with my girl friends and it was terrifying. I don’t think I would survive a real sky dive without having a panic attack now. :P
In the summer of 2006, the first summer of mine and TJ’s relationship, I created a Summer Bucket List. TJ saw it in my room one day and vowed to help me cross off as many things as I could with him that summer. I’ll be honest, the things on that list were completely immature and ridiculous (like “stay up all day and night” which TJ did help me accomplish one drunken evening when I went to work at 6 a.m. still kinda sorta a little bit drunk. Sorry Mom) but some of my favourite memories were created that summer. <3
