My Bucket List
This is a list of all the things I hope to blog about as the weeks and months go by. I have already done some of the things on the list prior to starting this blog, but have added them to the list in the hopes of doing them again and truly experiencing them to their fullest!
I will be adding to this as I go along. Feel free to drop any suggestions in a comment box on the main page of my blog! And, of course, I love company...if you would like to join me in any of my adventures, please just let me know!
