And These Are The Best Years Of Our Lives...Find Joy In The Journey!

      At the end of every year people look back and remember all the good things that happened over the past year. Most of us also assess what we could've done differently. That is usually when we start to formulate our New Year's Resolutions. Which let's face it, no one ever keeps...LOL


So this year, instead of a New Year's Resolution that I probably won't keep, I decided to create my very first annual yearly Bucket List.  I decided that 2013 was a great time to start this tradition because as of Dec. 23, 2012 @ 3:03 pm I will say goodbye to my 20s forever and will set out on a brand new adventure as a enter 2013 as a 30 year old. I want to make the best of this amazing time in my life, so I have compiling this Bucket list for the past few months. Now, I may add to this list from time to time as life happens or as I cross things off, but here is my list as it stands today: In no particular order of importance...BAHAHAHA

2. As of Jan. 1st-I will keep a jar (or some awesome container that has yet to be chosen-stay tuned LOL) as the year progresses I will fill it with awesome photos/notes/trinkets to remind myself at the end of the year how much stuff has happened!
