A Brief Attempt at a Bucket List

So, I know we all do it, say, "I hope to do this before I die" or "wouldn't that be a lot of fun" but how many of us actually write down and think about those things that we want to do.  So here's my attempt at writing and explaining my top ten on my bucket list.

10. Go back to Europe.  -I've been there once and absolutely loved it.  It's such a different culture and way of life and it's something I want to experience again now that I've grown up and found myself a bit more.

9. Dance with someone I love in the pouring rain.  -Every one's guards seem to be down more when they are out in the rain and it brings back everyone's inner child.  So why not dance in the rain just to have fun.

8. Sleep in a cemetery. -I know this one sounds really weird, but to me they are some of the most peaceful and relaxing places to be.

7. Complete a marathon Monday. - drink from six am monday to six am tuesday. Self explanitory.

6. Fully live my life to the fullest. - I know this sounds cliche but in the past month I have learned a lot about myself through the loss of 3 people and by almost losing one of my best friends.

5. Go sky-diving. - I love the idea of the thrill.  If I could live my life solely on the adrenaline rushes that life throws my way I would. This is one rush I definitely want to experience.

4. Learn something new about my family. - I have a very close knit family but at the same time I feel like we are distant from each other.  We keep our walls up to protect ourselves and I want to break down those walls and really get to know my sibling.s

3. Own my own house.

2. Get married to the right man. - I know, another cliche thing, but to fall in love and have it 100% reciprocated would be amazing.  I've seen a lot of good marriages and I've also seen many fall apart and I'm scared to fall in love because of it.

1. Have kids. No feeling is greater than watching a loved one grow up and mature, one day I would love to watch my own children grow up and play with their cousins and my God child.
