Since I’ve taken a hiatus from blogging the past couple days, I figured it was time to get back at it. Recent events in my life have caused me to be in the worst mood possible and then suddenly the best mood I’ve been in for quite sometime. No one wants to hear about the negatives, so I’m not going to write about them and do my best to erase them from my mind. However, positive is always a
I spent the day, feeling as if I have made a slight impact on a few people in my life and spent the evening with one of my favorite people that I have ever met. I’m so thankful that he is in my life and we always can pick right up where we left off no matter how much time has passed. Our conversations are never dull and part of the evening was spent talking about things on our bucket list. Apparently his bucket list is not technically a list but more like something will hit his brain and he’ll decide he wants to cross it off his “list”. That’s not how I roll. I have an honest-to-goodness complete bucket list (that I am constantly adding too) that I have been writing down on just plain notebook paper for years now. I’m creeping up on 200 different things on my list, some related, but mostly just random. Crossing things off my list feels like a major accomplishment to me, because after all - you only live once. I want to be able to say years from now that I lived a full life and had many amazing experiences with great stories to tell.
I’ll share some of the things on my list that I have crossed off along with things I have yet to (but will) cross off:

Obviously this list will be never-ending, but it’s awesome to see some of the random things that I get to cross of of this list of randomness and I can’t wait to continue crossing things off. Some of those things I will get to cross off during this summer and I will definitely share those with everyone. Do you have your own real-life bucket list? Is there certain things that you want to accomplish in your life or things that you want to see? Make the time to do those things no matter how big or small. You only live once and having regrets is hard…make the most of the time you have :)
I will be updating everyone on the giveaway soon, so stay tuned for that as well. xo
