My Bucket List...Not Yet Complete :)

Aaron and I watched a movie recently called, 'The Bucket List.' We both thought it was a great movie. I've had a life list or bucket list since forevers and have been thinking I'd share parts of it here with you. There are certainly some things that are more personal that aren't on this particular list, but it'll give you an idea and maybe encourage you to make your own.
