Bucket List


Last year instead of creating a New Year's Resolution I decided I would sit down with my husband and we would talk about our goals, dreams, and what we really wanted to experience before we 'kicked the bucket.' Here is the list I came up with:

1. Learn to snowboard
2. Learn to speak another language
3. Learn to play guitar
4. Go on a volunteer trip to another country and help build homes/schools
5. Travel the Oregon Coast
6. Fly in a helicopter
7. Go on a zip line adventure
8. Get a post secondary diploma
9. Go para sailing
10. Go to a Canucks game
11. Travel to Italy and Greece
12. Move to another country for 6 months or more
13. Have a child
14. Build/design my own home
15. Take up photography

This year is almost over and I'm happy to say I have begun checking things off my list. I took up snowboarding in January and loved it! I have also enrolled in University and have started to learn Spanish. Creating this list has given me a new look on life and things to look forward too. I also made sure to leave room on the list and add to it. I've created a scrapbook for both mine and my husbands lists and put pictures of us doing our bucket list activities. I can't wait to see what we will do next!
