Almost two years ago I posted a bucket list for my life. It’s not the end-all list for everything I want to do and, mostly importantly, who I want to be but it’s a fun little list of some adventures I’d like to experience in this crazy dance called life. I was recently reminiscing over it and realized that, since my last update, I’ve crossed a LOT of these things off! There are a few more we will be checking off this year but, for now, I’m enjoying looking of how much fun I’ve had these last two years.
