Updates! (:

It's been just over a year since I have posted last and the time has gone by so fast! Just in that little amount of time I have been able to cross four things off my list! Summer of 2011, I took a trip to the Big Apple with my parents and was able to check off having breakfast at Tiffany's and skipping in Central Park. It was such a fun trip and the city was absolutely amazing! During the Homecoming Dance at my school this year I was part of a flash mob to Party Rock Anthem along with a bunch of my classmates, which was incredible fun! Just recently I decided to dye my hair and I finally got the guts to dye a small part of it purple! It actually turned out better than I expected and I now love it! Soon I'll be able to cross of getting a tattoo, learning a song on a ukulele (with the help of the new ukulele I bought around Christmas time) and hopefully making the music video! Wish me luck!

A little about the past..

So far I have checked five things off of my bucket list. I kept them on here just so I could look back once in awhile of all the things I have accomplished so far, but I'd like to talk about them a little bit. So here's the stories...

-Attend my first concert: The summer of 2010, I went to my first concert. I won free Lifest tickets off of a radio contest, so I actually went to quite a few! My favorites were Tenth Avenue North, Skillet, Hawk Nelson and Superchick. I also got to meet superchick and get autographs and stuff. We talked for a little bit, and they seemed really down to Earth. It was amazingggg

-Eat sushi: My dad loves sushi, so this past summer he took me to a little sushi place nearby our local mall and bought me a sushi lunch. It was much better than I expected!

-Snorkle in the ocean: I've actually gotten to do this one twice; once on a cruise that stopped in Cozumel, Mexico and once at a resort I stayed at in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The fish were super colorful and the water was so warm!

-Go Ziplining: I've also gotten to do this one twice; once in a rain forest in Belize during a stop on my cruise and once at XPlor park in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. They were much different experiences. At Xplor, we were zip lining over trees and the forest and over other parts of the park, and in Belize we were actually zip lining through the rain forest.

-Lay in the middle of the street: Ever since I had seen the notebook, I really wanted to try the road scene, so the summer that I started my first bucket list I decided to try it with an old friend during a youth group night. It was a week before summer and the night was so relaxing a fun so it felt like the perfect moment.

I also have Visit all Seven Wonders of the World added to my list. I haven't accomplished that one yet, but I have seen one of the wonders. Last summer, I got to visit Chichenitza in Mexico. It's a bunch of old Mayan ruins, but it's actually really interesting. Now, just six more to go!

Here's the deal...

“It is not length of life, but depth of life.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I reach age 80, I want to be able to look back at my life and know that it was filled with meaningful experiences, fun, and happiness. I want to be able to tell people that my life was filled with depth and endless stories. So here's my way of making sure I can. I'm creating a bucket list. I am going to cross things off and add more as I go. Wish me luck...
