What a life!

So earlier last year I created a bucket list, and as I was doing some spring cleaning...I happened upon it again and realized that a few of my little life dreams have already happened this year!  Horray for that!  Wow, I can be so productive when I'm not thinking about it!  But seriously....this is full of non-profound things that I've love to accomplish in life at some point because I feel like God placed me here to experience.  Mostly I want to experience these things with the people I love.  Some of them are easy and others are less likely or maybe so bold that I may never have the guts to accomplish them.  But here is where you...the reader...comes in.   If you can help me accomplish any of these things, let me know!  I sure do want to! And literally everything on here would be more fun if done with friends!
