My Bucket List

Ok, so I am constantly bringing up the fact that I have a bucket list to new people to only get strange looks or laughs.  I guess people feel as though having a bucket list means that you just received unfortunate news from a doctor stating that your time on earth is coming to an end.  Fortunately for me, I have not received this news, but instead, intend to use my bucket list as inspiration to move forward in an incredibly forever changing world.  I guess I see it as my life road map; keeping me on track when I tend to lose myself.  I continue to update it as inspiration to conquer new things comes my way and, although it doesn't happen often enough, I also continue to mark things off as I come to them.  So let this be my first posting in my blog... it will bring an insight into who I am and where I am going.  I will keep an updated list with pictures in hopes that inspiration... fly's your way.
