earlier this summer, during vacation bible school, i had a very intriguing conversation with some girlfriends. apparently, they all had bucket lists. summer bucket lists. kids bucket lists.
everyone had a list of some sort.
i got to work. and it was grueling. i discovered i'm a fairly boring individual. and despite my best efforts, i could not come up with 100 things on my bucket list.
no where close.
but, i do have some good things on the list. things that are my heart's desire. things that i should have tried long ago.
so, without further delay, in no particular order, i share with you my riveting bucket list. no need to chuckle...i am comfortable in the fact that i am a rather sheltered, less than interesting gal. but i have a whole list to change that...
