My Bucket List

A year or so ago, Kristy and I went to the theatre and watched a movie called "The Bucket List", which we thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to watch a good-hearted comedy. (Stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman). For some reason, as of late, I have been contemplating different things that I would love to do before I "kick the bucket." Granted, I am still young, but I feel as if it is a list that should be made, added to, and adjusted as soon as possible so that things can be checked off on a regular basis instead of rushing to do it all in one's "golden years". So here are a few things that I have done and want to do on my list. Feel free to share things that you agree with, as well as any others that you have on your list that I should think about doing. I am going to break things down into different categories for my own purposes.

Here we go!
