Bucket List

Until the movie The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, I had never heard the term. I haven't made a bucket list, really don't give it much thought usually, but today I got an email titled "Bucket List". The list is not really so much a bucket list, as a list of things you may or may not have done in your lifetime, but I thought it would be fun to share with you the things that I have done and fun to see what you all have done!

Directions: Place an 'x' by all the things you've done and remove the 'x' from the things you haven't done.

As for my TRUE 'bucket list', the things I want to be sure are on it are to travel more, to spend as much time with my family (both immediate and extended) as I can, to watch my children grow up and have children of their own, and most importantly to continue to grow in my faith. While many of those other things might be fun, I don't see any of them as absolute necessity.

So... What's on YOUR bucket list???
