bucket list.

“The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.”
-eleanor roosevelt

 

turning 25 felt like a milestone when it happened, and there were two things i hoped to commemorate it with: 1. get the tattoo i’d been dreaming of, and 2. go skydiving.  neither happened that summer.  the tattoo came 2 years later.

skydiving has yet to happen.

so, when i saw that Bucket List Publications was giving away a Skydiving Package over San Diego, i rushed to respond.  their only question was simply “why do you deserve this?”

i had to answer honestly…i probably don’t deserve this more than others, but it would be a dream come true.  it would be a bucket list item that has been very important to me, but hasn’t been financially possible.  i would also be able to combine this trip with visiting a good friend who’s serving in Tijuana.

so, i’m a finalist.

eeeeeee!

for the next two weeks, i need to collect more votes than the other 14 finalists.  that’s where YOU come in.  simply click here, then click on my face, and comment, “like”, tweet, share on LinkedIn, etc.

thanks, in advance, for your help!  i will be sure to keep you updated on my progress!

bucket list

my thoughts are too varied at the moment to come up with anything coherent, but i wanted to post and saw this idea on another blog, so i’m copying.

without any further adieu, my “bucket list” as it exists today.  anything italicized has already happened.
