My Bucket List

So a little over a year ago I had a blog friend die from cancer. I say blog friend because, while we knew each other in school, we did not know each other well. She was a grade older then I was so we did not hang out much. I had a locker next to her in junior high so we knew each other that way. Anyway I found her on myspace and on her page she had posted a link to her blog. It was a day to day account of her life with her wonderful husband, friends, & family. If you want to read her story here it is. She was incredible. In reading her blog posts I thought she was getting better and would make it. I was really pulling & praying for her. When she lost her battle it took me months to get over it. It just really hit home. It got me thinking about my life and all the things I want to do. I never really wrote any of it down, but this weekend I was listening to my ipod and some of the songs got me to thinking about it again..... so here is a written account of my bucket list (in no particular order):
