Bucket List

I have always wanted to make a bucket list, and having reading someone else's on a blog, I decided to start my own. I'm sure that I will continually add to it as I discover more things that I want to do, but there's nothing wrong with that! And please don't hesitate to suggest things for me! After reading a lot of other Bucket Lists, I decided to make sure mine isn't ridiculously long, doesn't have anything so ambitious that it's practically unattainable, or anything that could actually get me in trouble or put me in danger. I plan to blog about these as I complete them and link those posts back to this post.

Happy reading, and tell me about your own Bucket List!
